Subcellular_localization | In 2-cell to 32-cell embryos, CDC-42 mainly localized to cortexes at cell-cell contacts. At late stages of embryonic development, we also observed a widespread CDC-42 expression in neuronal tissues such as the nerve ring, supporting the involvement of CDC-42 in neuronal processes. During larval development and in adults, CDC-42 localized to cortexes in all cells, for example, in the vulva and in the tail. | ||
Previous work has shown that CED-1 and CED-6 in engulfing cells are selectively recruited to the plasma membrane surrounding apoptotic cells, generating a 'halo' pattern around the corpses. A similar accumulation of GFP::CDC-42 was observed around apoptotic cell corpses during all developmental stages. Importantly, CDC-42 was significantly enriched at membranes surrounding apoptotic cell corpses compared with cortical basal as well as background levels. | |||
