|---|---|
| Species | C. elegans |
| Genotype | glp-1(q35)/eT1 III; him-5(e1490)/eT1 V. |
| Description | Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate wild-type heterozygotes, glp-1(q35) homozygotes (Muv steriles), eT1 homozygotes (Unc-36), and males. glp-1(q35) has a semi-dominant multi-vulva phenotype as well as the loss-of-function Glp phenotype (sterility and embryonic lethality). The q35 mutation is a nonsense mutation that eliminates 122 C-terminal amino acids including a PEST sequence. The C terminus was thought to contain a negative regulatory domain that inactivates glp-1 in the VPCs; the inappropriate glp-1(q35) activity can substitute for lin-12 vulval fate determination.
