WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4544

• Pattern: PUF-5 expression was first detected near the gonad bend, where germ cell nuclei were in late stages of pachytene, and increased as germ nuclei exited pachytene and moved into the proximal arm, with highest expression in developing oocytes in the distal portion of the proximal gonad. Remarkably, PUF-5 staining abruptly disappeared in the proximal-most one to three oocytes and was very low in early stage embryos (n > 50).
• Primary Identifier: Expr4544
• Remark: PUF-5 expression during late embryonic and larval development has not been investigated.
• Subcellular Localization: PUF-5 staining in oocytes was mostly cytoplasmic, but some PUF-5 was detected in perinuclear and cytoplasmic P granules as judged by co-localization with PGL-1.
