| Primary Identifier | Expr9721 | Subcellular Localization | YFP-DAF-21 was not homogeneously localized within body wall muscle cells. Instead, it exhibited a striated pattern, closely matching the striation of muscle cells.The fluorescence was localized to the space between the dense bodies, clearly excluded from those and the remainder of the I-band. The continuous line of DAF-21-localization between two rows of dense bodies correlates well to the broad A-band, probably even specifically to the M-line, as localization is sharply restricted to the very middle of the A-band. Comparing several cells with different expression levels, it appears that the localization to the M-line can only be observed if expression levels are high, while in cells expressing lower levels of YFP-DAF-21, the fusion protein only localizes to the I-band. |
