SKN-1 also inhibits PAL-1 (preventing it from becoming active in the EMS cell).

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

In the germ line, PAL-1 synthesis is prevented by the PUF-8 protein, which binds to the 3′ UTR of pal-1 mRNA and blocks its translation.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

PIE-1 is placed into the P blastomeres through the action of the PAR-1 protein & it inhibit both SKN-1 and PAL-1 function in the P2 and subsequent germline cells.

Mutations of the maternal pie-1 gene result in germline blastomeres adopting somatic fates, with the P2 cell behaving similarly to a wild-type EMS blastomere.
