cra-1(RNAi);natb-1(fq6) animals exhibit synaptonemal complex (SC) assembly defects that are indistinguishablefrom either perturbation alone. Authors state this 'further supports the idea that CRA-1 and NATB-1 function together to promote SC assembly and crossover formation possibly by mediating protein N-terminal acetylation'.
"we analyzed the expression of hsp-12.6, a daf-16 downstream gene, by using qRT-PCR. The results showed that heat stress increased hsp- 12.6 expression (Fig. 2B) as previously reported (Hsu et al., 2003; McColl et al., 2010)."
