| Subcellular Localization | DPY-28 accumulates throughout the germline. A series of immunostaining experiments revealed the germline distribution of DPY-28. In the premeiotic region, DPY-28 has a speckled nuclear pattern that partly overlaps with DNA in interphase nuclei, but is excluded from condensed mitotic chromosomes. DPY-28 is more concentrated on chromosomes in the transition zone, when homologs began to pair, and appears unevenly distributed. In pachytene nuclei, DPY-28 is in the nucleoplasm and partly coincident with meiotic chromosomes, but is excluded from the nucleolus. No staining was detected above background in s939, y283, or y402 gonads, consistent with Western analysis. The distribution of DPY-28 in male gonads is similar |
