WS295

Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  Expression observed in B, B.a and B.p. Primary Identifier  Expr4500
Subcellular Localization  Asymmetric localization occurs when the amount of protein, as detected by GFP intensity, varies within a cell, while asymmetric distribution occurs when the levels of protein as detected by relative GFP intensity differ between the B.a and B.p daughters. Prior to division, LIN-17::GFP accumulated asymmetrically to the anterior cortex and cytoplasm of the B cell in 81% of males (n = 31). After division, LIN-17::GFP was symmetrically localized within the B.a cell cortex, but was asymmetrically localized within the B.p cell in 76% (n = 33) of males, with the anterior membrane and cytoplasm displaying a higher level of LIN-17::GFP than the posterior. The asymmetric localization of LIN-17::GFP to the anterior cortex and cytoplasm of the B and B.p cells was confirmed by 1-um Z sections through the B cell.
