Subcellular Localization  During the process of molting, the MLT-10::mCherry and GFP::MLT-10 fusion proteins were detected in vesicle-like objects near the apical surface of the epidermis. Cherry was also readily detected in other structures, whereas GFP was not, possibly due to proteolytic processing of the N-terminal fusion protein. In young adults, the MLT-10::mCherry fusion protein was also detected in coelomocytes. Cherry was detected in the coelomocytes of approximately 22% (n=176) of aaaEx16[mlt-10::mCherry] animals. The MLT-10::mCherry fusion protein was also detected in strands and loops near the surface of transgenic animals. These structures were observed in 27% (n=123) of mixed-stage larvae, but were most prominent in animals completing the fourth molt. The strands ranged from 5 to 30 microns in length and appeared to be positioned above the hypodermis. The formal possibility that these structures result from the non-specific aggregation of mCherry cannot be eliminated at this time.
