Subcellular_localizationnucleus
TypeAntibodyMonoclonal mouse antibody against recombinant POP-1 protein. Immunolocalization results described in this paper are with mABRL2.
PatternBetween the 2-cell and 28-cell stages of embryogenesis, equal levels of POP-1 staining were detected in sister cells born from transverse cleavages. However, different levels of POP-1 stained in almost all pairs of sister cells resulting from an a/p cleavage. For example, in the AB lineage there are no POP-1 differences after the first two divisions, which are transverse, but there are differences after the third division, which is a/p. After the first a/p division in the AB lineage, as well as after a/p divisions in other lineages, authors invariably see higher levels of staining in the nucleus of the anterior sister than in the nucleus of its posterior sister. POP-1 asymmetry appears in interphase nuclei, then POP-1 staining diminishes and is not observed in prophase nuclei. The only anterior cell in which authors fail to detect POP-1 is the P4 blastomere. Heterogeneity in POP-1 staining is observed between many neighboring nuclei in embryos after the 28-cell stage. The descendants of the E lineage can be identified readily in fixed embryos at all stages; POP-1 asymmetry was found after the first, third, and fourth divisions of the E lineage, which are a/p. The second division of the E lineage is transverse (left/right), and symmetrical levels of POP-1 were found in both pairs of sister blastomeres. In late-stage embryos, POP-1 is prominent in the developing nervous system but absent from some other tissues like the hypodermis. In larvae during postembryonic development, POP-1 is present in the row of hypodermal cells, called seam cells, along the lateral surfaces of the body. POP-1 asymmetry is observed after the seam cells divide a/p; in each pair of sisters, POP-1 appears at higher levels in the anterior sister than in the posterior sister. In addition, POP-1 is detected in migratory cells called the Q neuroblasts and in the developing gonad and vulva.
