WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr7893

• Primary Identifier: Expr7893
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 1.
• Subcellular Localization: During prophase of the first mitosis in centration and rotation stage embryos, LIN-5 did not appear enriched at the cortex relative to the underlying cytoplasm. However, the anterior cortex and cytoplasm stained more intensely for LIN-5. Although both cortical and cytoplasmic LIN-5 intensities were somewhat discontinuous, most prophase embryos exhibited clear asymmetries overall: The highest levels of cortical LIN-5 staining were at the anterior from 0% to 30% egg length (33/38 cortices, n = 19 embryos; note that in some embryos the upper and lower cortex showed different patterns and thus the number of cortices, rather than embryos, was scored). In these embryos, LIN-5 staining intensities began to decrease at about 40% egg length. LIN-5 cytoplasmic intensities showed similar anterior enrichment and the traces closely matched those of cortical levels in most cases (30/38 traces). The differences between anterior and posterior intensities are statistically significant. The averaged plot also shows a bipolar appearance rather than a simple anterior to posterior gradient: the region from 50% to 70% egg length had the lowest average staining intensities.
