Figure 7. ELT-1 maintains the seam stem cell-like fate by promoting cell proliferation and preventing inappropriate differentiation.

Figure 7

Model to illustrate the relationship between ELT-1, BRO-1 and EFF-1 in the maintenance of the seam stem cell-like fate. Direct transcriptional activation of bro-1 by ELT-1 promotes proliferation, while repression of eff-1 by ELT-1 (either directly or indirectly, for example through elt-5/6) represses fusion mediated by EFF-1, thereby preventing differentiation.
