A model of the interactions among FBL-1, EMB-9, and GON-1 in gonad shaping. In the late larval stages, FBL-1 acts to maintain EMB-9, whereas GON-1 depletes EMB-9 to achieve appropriate levels of EMB-9 localization in the BM. The BM-localized EMB-9 maintains NID-1 in the BM and promotes expression or stabilization of PAT-3 in DTCs (and gonadal sheath cells). GON-1 may also affect other BM molecules.
