Figure 5. The molting cycle is regulated by both LIN-29 isoforms.

(A) Examples of luciferase assay traces revealing four (I), five (II) or six (III) molts through a drop in luciferase signal (red segment). Examples are from wild-type (I) and lin-29ab(Δ) (II-III). (B) Quantification of the number of molts in animals of the indicated genotypes (n > 20) based on the assay shown in (A). A fraction of mab-10(0) lin-29a(∆) , lin-29b(∆) and mab-10(0) lin-29b(∆) animals die at the J/A transition ; these animals were censored and not included in the quantification.
