Primary Identifier  Expr9081 Remark  Picture: Fig 4.
Subcellular Localization  LIT-1::GFP localized to both cytoplasm and nucleus and was broadly expressed in a variety of cell types at post-embryonic stages, including in seam cells, vulva cells, neurons and pharyngeal muscles. In seam cells, LIT-1::GFP was present in both nucleus and cytoplasm and displayed a highly dynamic temporal pattern. LIT-1::GFP was barely detected in the early and middle stages of each larval stage. LIT-1::GFP was strongly detected at late period within each larval stage. Then, LIT-1::GFP formed punctate structure in the cytoplasm and levels of LIT-1::GFP in nucleus became weaker, followed by disappearance of LIT-1::GFP in seam cells. This periodic expression pattern of LIT-1::GFP was repeated at each larval stage. Seam cell expression of lit-1::gfp was not detectable at the young adult stage. Therefore, LIT-1::GFP oscillates in seam cells during each larval stage.
