Summary of GLD-1 and MEX-3-mediated processes, and the effect of depleting ATX-2 on these processes
| Wild type . | atx-2(RNAi) . |
|---|---|
| GLD-1-mediated process | |
| Repression of GLP-1 in medial gonad | GLP-1 repression extends to distalmost gonad |
| Transient repression of TRA-2 | Continuous repression of TRA-2 |
| Entry into pachytene* | Failure to enter pachytene* |
| Repression of RME-2 in medial gonad | RME-2 is expressed in medial gonad |
| MEX-3-mediated process | |
| Repression of RME-2 in distalmost gonad | RME-2 is expressed in distalmost gonad |
| Wild type . | atx-2(RNAi) . |

GLD-1 function in this process is redundant with GLD-2
