Fig. 7. EGL-43 and HLH-2 are required for AC/VU specification, VPC proliferation
and AC invasion. (A) egl-43, fos-1, him-4, hlh-2 and
zmp-1 form a regulatory network necessary for the AC to invade vulval
epithelium. (B) hlh-2 is involved in AC/VU specification by
expressing lag-2 and egl-43. The same type of enhancer
(ACEL) is responsible for the expression of lin-3 and egl-43
in the AC, which are essential for the induction of VPCs and AC invasion.
