| Subcellular Localization | In wild-type worms, authors observed a striking localization of PRG-1 in the cytoplasm and in prominent cytoplasmic structures in germ cells at nearly all stages of germline development. In both hermaphrodites and males, PRG-1 formed perinuclear foci in both the mitotic and meiotic zones of the germline. In mature oocytes the staining persisted, but PRG-1 foci lost their perinuclear association and became dispersed in the cytoplasm. In males, all PRG-1 staining disappeared abruptly as spermatids matured. The pattern of PRG-1 localization, including its localization during embryogenesis, resembled that of P granules. Indeed, the localization of PRG-1 perfectly overlapped, throughout development, the localization of the previously described P granule component, PGL-1. |
