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. (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).
- Because miRNA-mediated gene silencing may cause translational inhibition or mRNA degradation or both (19), the relatively small increase of UNC-31 in mir-71(lf) animals was still consistent with unc-31 being a target of miR-71.

- For examining the age-1 3′UTR reporter, the rol-6(d) marker (100 ng/μl pRF4) was used instead of the unc-119(+) plasmid.
- The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to starvation by entering developmental arrest at multiple stages of its life cycle (1).
- Among these potential miRNA targets, the predicted miR-71–targeting sites in the 3′UTRs of age-1 and unc-31 are conserved between C.
