What's a GeneRIF?

MOG-6 has a function distinct from that of prevailing cyclophilins and that its binding to MEP-1 is essential for germline sex determination.
Title: Roles of the C. elegans cyclophilin-like protein MOG-6 in MEP-1 binding and germline fates.
sumoylation of LIN-1 mediates an interaction with MEP-1 that contributes to transcriptional repression of genes that promote vulval cell fates
Title: Sumoylation of LIN-1 promotes transcriptional repression and inhibition of vulval cell fates.
In animals lacking MEP-1, germline genes are derepressed in somatic cells, and Polycomb group and SET domain-related proteins promote this ectopic expression. MEP-1 interacts with the germline-protein PIE-1.
Title: MEP-1 and a homolog of the NURD complex component Mi-2 act together to maintain germline-soma distinctions in C. elegans.
