- Description
- dpl-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian DP, the E2F-heterodimerization partner; dpl-1 is a class B synMuv gene whose activity is required for oogenesis as well as embryonic asymmetry and vulval development; in addition, dpl-1 acts with a subset of class B synMuv genes and the MCD-1 zinc-finger protein to promote the killing process during programmed cell death; DPL-1 is a nuclear protein that is widely expressed throughout development in both somatic and germ cell lineages.
