(B) The severely reduced survival rate of the mir-71(lf) mutant was suppressed by a null allele of unc-31(e928). The effect observed in ain-1(lf) mutants is likely the consequence of the combined effects of attenuating functions of these individual miRNAs. Previous studies indicate that the InsR pathway plays a dominant role in regulating L1 starvation survival and that reducing the activity of the insulin receptor daf-2, the PI3Kinase age-1, or the upstream regulator unc-31 results in increased L1 starvation survival rate (2, 3).

L1 Starvation Survival Assay and Statistical Analysis.
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.
Duo Restore
{This process doesn’t reconnect any third-party accounts. To use Instant Restore you must have previously backed up your device with iCloud (with iCloud Keychain on) or an encrypted iTunes or Finder backup. If you lose this password you’ll need to manually reconnect your third-party accounts by visiting each of those services individually and following their 2FA setup process. When Duo Mobile detects you have a third-party account, you’ll be prompted to create a recovery password. Due to how apps are automatically backed up in iOS, the backup functionality of Duo Restore is always on for iOS users who have iCloud enabled and they will not see a notification indicating their information is being backed up.}
