Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The endogenous C-terminal TOP-2::GFP is expressed in nuclei throughout the worm soma, germ line, and in developing embryos. In the germ line, TOP-2 is expressed from the mitotic zone at the distal tip to the most proximal oocyte, which is preparing for fertilization. Primary Identifier  Expr15446
Subcellular Localization  In the germ line, TOP-2 is expressed from the mitotic zone at the distal tip to the most proximal oocyte, which is preparing for fertilization. During pachytene, TOP-2 is localized to the chromosomes similar to that observed in the anti-FLAG staining of TOP-2::3XFLAG germ lines. Interestingly, we observed a single TOP-2::GFP focus in pachytene nuclei. These foci are not observed with the anti-FLAG antibody staining in the TOP-2::3XFLAG germ lines. In contrast to the strictly nucleoplasmic pool of TOP-2::3XFLAG during late meiotic prophase I (diakinesis) of oocytes, we observe robust TOP-2 localization on the chromosomes of all diakinesis oocytes in addition to nucleoplasmic TOP-2::GFP.
