11. In contrast to Ptc inactivation by mutation, dsRNA directed against Ptc does not cause constitutive pathway activation, probably because RNAi-induced loss of ptc mRNA and protein is balanced by a consequent increase in transcription of the still intact ptc gene, resulting in sufficient levels of Ptc protein to maintain pathway regulation. In S2 cells, which lack Ci and consequently this regulatory feedback, Ptc-directed RNAi treatment results in a decrease in Ptc protein and an increase in Smo protein similar to that produced by Hh stimulation (Fig. 1B, inset).

20. Injection of dally dsRNA used in cell-based assays resulted in dramatically weakened or in some cases loss of Wg staining, consistent with the loss of naked cuticle associated with loss of Dally.

29. Of the two dsRNAs targeting CK1α included in the kinase-phosphatase library, only one of these targeting the ORF resulted in a gain in basal reporter activity. The other dsRNA targets the 5′ untranstated region (UTR) and is ineffective, perhaps as a result of possible alternative splicing of the transcript.
