lin-15(
e1763) mutant animals display a 54% penetrance of P11 to P12 fate transformation (Table 1A). However
lin-15 acts in a signal dependent manner as loss of LIN-3 activity removes its effect on P11 and P12 cells.
lin-3(
n378/n1059) mutants do not display a P11/P12 defect (Table 2), neither do
lin-3(
n378/n1059);
lin-15(
e1763) double mutant animals (n=45). Therefore,
lin-3(
n378/n1059) suppresses the P11 to P12 fate transformation phenotype of
lin-15(
e1763) mutants.
