Pattern | We observed GFP::ZNFX-1 expression in the adult germline as well as in developing germ cells during all stages of embryonic and larval development. No GFP::ZNFX-1 expression was observed in somatic tissues. After fertilization, C. elegans zygotes undergo a series of asymmetric cell divisions in which germline determinants segregate with germline blastomeres. During embryonic development, ZNFX-1 foci were concentrated in, and segregated with, the germline blastomeres. In adult germ cells, GFP::ZNFX-1 was concentrated in foci that were distributed in a perinuclear pattern around nuclei. We conclude that znfx-1 encodes a germline-expressed protein that segregates with the germline and localizes to perinuclear foci in adult germ cells.GFP::ZNFX-1 and GFP::WAGO-4 colocalized with PGL-1::TagRFP in P1-P3 germline blastomeres, suggesting that ZNFX-1 and WAGO-4 are P granule factors. | |||
