| Subcellular Localization | In control oocytes prior to fertilization, GFP:CAV-1 is concentrated in intracellular vesicles and large ring-like cytoplasmic structures as well as localizing weakly to the plasma membrane. Immediately after oocytes pass through the spermatheca and are fertilized, the amount of GFP:CAV-1 on the cell surface rapidly increases, followed by its internalization and degradation. Since, adult C. elegans hermaphrodites ovulate approximately every 20 minutes, examination of the string of newly fertilized embryos present in an adult worm provides a convenient means of monitoring the timecourse of the changes in the GFP:CAV-1 distribution. Newly fertilized embryos exhibited bright GFP:CAV-1 fluorescence, initially at the cell surface and subsequently on internal membranes, but embryos beyond the 2-cell stage, approximately 90 minutes post fertilization, lacked visible fluorescence. |
