| Primary Identifier | Expr7812 | Remark | Picture: Figure 5. The transition zone from mitosis to meiosis starts where 60% of the nuclei show the crescent-shaped morphology that is a hallmark of early meiotic prophase. Therefore, MEL-26 and FIGL-1 exhibit a seemingly complementary localization within the germ line of wild-type animals, a relationship expected for a substrate and its specific adaptor for degradation. The border of their respective localizations seems to correlate with the transition zone, which separates the mitotic from the meiotic cells (or nuclei). |
| Subcellular Localization | Low levels of MEL-26 were detected in the mitotic zone, but MEL-26 was prominently expressed and present on chromosomes during meiotic stages. |
