TypeIn_situDigoxigenin-labeled, single-stranded sense and antisense probes were generated from a 1.3 kb spe-44 cDNA fragment by linear amplification according to the manufacturer's protocol (Roche).
PatternIn situ hybridizations of dissected gonads were performed to ascertain the precise spatial pattern of spe-44 expression. The fem- 3(gf) and fem-1(lf) mutations were used to restrict hermaphrodite gametogenesis to sperm or oocyte production, respectively. Abundant expression was first detected in fem-3(gf) animals during the L3 stage in the early meiotic germline. DAPI staining of the chromatin indicated that expression coincides with early pachytene of meiosis I. By contrast, spe-44 expression was undetectable in fem-1(lf) germlines at any stage of development. Thus, spe-44 expression is restricted to the sperm-producing germline at a time and place consistent with the regulation of sperm gene expression.
