| Primary Identifier | Expr7811 | Remark | Picture: Figure 5. The transition zone from mitosis to meiosis starts where 60% of the nuclei show the crescent-shaped morphology that is a hallmark of early meiotic prophase. Therefore, MEL-26 and FIGL-1 exhibit a seemingly complementary localization within the germ line of wild-type animals, a relationship expected for a substrate and its specific adaptor for degradation. The border of their respective localizations seems to correlate with the transition zone, which separates the mitotic from the meiotic cells (or nuclei). |
| Subcellular Localization | FIGL-1 was predominantly expressed around chromosomes in nuclei of cells in the mitotic zone of the germ line. Quantification of these results revealed that FIGL-1 levels in the mitotic zone were 2-fold higher compared with its expression in meiotic cells. |
