WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4599

• Pattern: The nuclear GFP::LIT-1, despite a low level, was detected in a dynamic pattern both temporally and spatially. GFP::LIT-1 was consistently enriched in the interphase nuclei of only a subset of early blastomeres. Comparison with the corresponding DIC images revealed that, at the eight-cell stage, nuclear GFP::LIT-1 was enriched in the interphase E blastomere but not in the MS blastomere. At the 12-cell stage, interphase nuclear GFP::LIT-1 was enriched in four of the great granddaughters of the AB blastomere (ABarp, ABalp, ABprp, and ABplp, all posterior daughters of A-P divisions) but not their anterior sister cells. Nuclear enrichment was also observed at the 14-cell stage in the posterior daughters of MS and E, MSp and Ep, respectively, but not their anterior daughters. After the 14-cell stage, the GFP signal was too low to continue evaluating.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4599
• Subcellular Localization: The GFP::LIT-1 was detected, both cytoplasmic and nuclear, in every blastomere.
