Streets for Pandemic Response & Recovery
The primers that were used to amplify the 3′UTR of candidate genes are available upon request. 3′UTRs of genes of interest were cloned into the modified pPD129.57 vector as described previously (18). The data for 3′UTR expression and for VPC timing were analyzed using χ2 test.
Elegans Genetic Center (reference 257) and an N2 strain from the laboratory stock, respectively. Wild-type strains A and B are an N2 strain recently obtained from the C. (A) Survival rate curves of wild-type and mutant strains, as indicated. This is consistent with the previous reports that AIN-1 and AIN-2 are functional homologs with overlapping biochemical roles (16, 17). The roles of InsRs have also been implicated in arresting the cell cycle in germ cells and a portion of somatic cells during L1 diapause (2, 4). Contributed new reagents/analytic tools; X.Z., R.Z., and M.H.
To determine viability, 20-μL aliquots (60–100 worms) were placed every 3 d onto two 6-cm nematode growth medium (NGM) plates seeded with OP50, and the numbers of L1 worms were recorded as number of plated worms (Np). A total of 16–24 h later, the density of newly hatched L1 worms was adjusted to three to five worms per microliter S-basal. The eggs were transferred to plates seeded with HB101 and bleached again 3 d later. Briefly, worms were well fed for at least two generations, and gravid adults were bleached with hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide. L1 starvation assay was adapted from a previously described protocol (3). Worms strains were grown and maintained at 20 °C as described (29).
miR-71 Likely Directly Represses the Expression of age-1 and unc-31 by Acting on Their 3′ Untranslated Regions.
You'll still need to provide your third-party account recovery password before you can use those accounts to generate passcodes. The Duo Mobile accounts list shows your restored Duo accounts, and you may use them to log into Duo-protected services with Duo Push or a generated passcode. Remember, Duo Support can't recover your third-party accounts for you or reset your third-party recovery password. If you didn't enable backups for your third-party accounts when you added the first one, you can do it at any time. You'll need to provide it again to recover these accounts. Duo Mobile cannot recover access to those accounts without a backup.

Among short-lived miRNA mutants, a mir-71 deletion mutant, mir-71(n4115) (referred to as mir-71(lf) hereafter), displayed a severe reduction in L1 starvation survival rate (Table S1 and Fig. 2A). We found that the reduced survival rate of ain-1 was suppressed by either reduction of age-1 function or loss of unc-31 function (Fig. 1 B and C), suggesting that a significant portion of the overall miRNA functions in L1 diapause is upstream of, or in parallel to, the InsR pathway. In this study, we addressed the questions of whether and how miRNAs impact developmental arrest and the long-term survival of early L1 stage worms in response to food starvation.
RRF Regulation
Whereas the vulva of wild-type worms developed into the pyramidal stage (81 of 82 worms), the P6.p of mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant worms divided only once (83 of 89 worms). The computation-based prediction that age-1 and pdk-1 are potential targets of miR-71 was also reported in a recent study focusing on miRNA functions in aging where the mRNA level of pdk-1 was shown to be up-regulated in mir-71 worms (14). (C) Fluorescence and differential interference contrast (DIC) images showing that the age-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms (3/4 transgenic lines) but not in mir-71(lf) worms (4/4 transgenic lines). The transcript level of unc-31 was increased in mir-71(lf) worms, compared with that of wild-type controls that were normalized to the value of 1. MiR-71 represses the expression of age-1 and unc-31 through the actions on their 3′UTR, but miR-71 is not required for arresting M cell division during L1 diapause.
