Data illustrating the proportion of posterior-reversed vulval lineage (% P-Rvl). By ectopically expressing EGL-20 from the anterior side of P7.p using the Pfos-1a promoter, P5.p and P7.p reorient to face the anterior gradient. The anterior source of EGL-20 suppresses the lin-17(n671) phenotype. Because we do not see further suppression of the lin-17(n671) lrp-2(gk272) phenotype when EGL-20 is ectopically expressed from the anterior side of P7.p we conclude that LRP-2 is downstream of EGL-20.
