| Subcellular Localization | Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies raised against DEPS-1 stain both P granules and nuclei in germ lines, and developing embryos of all stages. Several findings suggest that the P-granule stain is due to DEPS-1, but that the nuclear stain is due to cross-reactive material. First, in deps-1 mutants, the P-granule stain and a DEPS-1-sized band (~69 kDa) on western blots are absent, while nuclear stain and a band of ~120 kDa persist. Second, a DEPS-1::GFP fusion protein expressed in the C. elegans germ line is cytoplasmic and concentrated on P granules in adult germ lines and late stage embryos; nuclear GFP is not observed. |
