"GTSF-1 interacts with RRF-3 in the adult germline, independently of RNA. The tandem CHHC zinc fingers of GTSF-1 mediate the interaction with RRF-3. GTSF-1 is required for ERIC assembly."
"...We measured gene induction during exposure to live S. aureus, which causes pathogenesis, or heat-killed S. aureus, which does not (Figures 3G-I and S4C, E). Unexpectedly, all 10 biomarker genes were induced at least equally well on heat-killed S. aureus as on live S. aureus (Figure 6A)."
Query-target gene pairs were tested for interaction by feeding target gene RNAi to worms with a mutation in the query gene. Each query-target pair and its two controls were tested in at least three rounds.|Target genes were classified as either belonging to LGIII (L) or to signalling pathways (S) or to both (L,S): S
