(D) Fractions of worms that carry 3′UTR reporter transgene and show no GFP expression GFP(−), weak GFP expression GFP(+/−), and comparable GFP expression to mCherry GFP(+). We found that the mRNA level of UNC-31 was up-regulated by about 20% in mir-71(lf) (Fig. 3A). These results suggest that a significant portion of the miR-71 activities in L1 diapause survival may be devoted to regulating the activities of UNC-31–mediated InsR/PI3K signaling and that the rest of miR-71 activity may regulate UNC-31–independent pathways.
