Table 1. Aldicarb response of ligand or co-ligand mutant animals. Loss of OSM-7, OSM-11 or DSL-3 phenocopies LIN-12 loss, whereas decreased LAG-2, DOS-1 or DSL-6 results in resistance to aldicarb similarly to decreased glp-1 function. n/a indicates “not available”. At least 10 animals tested for dos-2, arg-1, dsl-2, dsl-4 and dsl-5. For RNAi experiments, three independent trials were conducted using the neuronal RNAi-sensitive strain eri-1(mg366); lin-15B(n744), with a total of at least 30 animals for each knocked-down gene. For non-wild type responses, aldicarb-induced paralysis rates are in Figure S2. For wild type responses the raw data are available in supplements.
