Subcellular_localizationExtruded gonads and embryos from xmSi05 adults (soma and germline expression) were placed on a slide and observed under an epifluorescence microscope to analyze the location of the transgene. The authors have previously reported that VBH-1 is expressed in cytoplasmic foci, perinuclear germ granules termed P granules in germ cells, and diffusely expressed throughout the cytoplasm of all blastomeres [WBPaper00031012]. The GFP transgene showed the same expression as the endogenous VBH-1 in germline cells and embryos suggesting that the expression of the transgene was similar to endogenous VBH-1.
TypeReporter_gene
Patternthe Pvbh-1::GFP::vbh-1::vbh-1 reporter showed high expression in both soma and germline. GFP::VBH-1 expression from line xmSi06 was observed in the cytoplasm of intestinal cells, with a clear enrichment in the apical pole in control animals. Although xmSi06 animals show somatic vbh-1 expression the authors cannot discard that this is an artifact of this transgene.
