Subcellular_localizationC-terminal construct: Nuclear accumulation in all of these tissues is strong. This nuclear localization does not depend on the activity of sma-6, however. When the integrated N-terminal construct array (qcIs6) was crossed into sma-4(e729) or sma-2(e502) mutant backgrounds, the nuclear localization did not change significantly. When the array is crossed into sma-6(wk7) mutants, the protein became evenly distributed between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in many but not all animals. Thus, the nuclear accumulation of SMA-3::GFP is enhanced by but not dependent on activation by the type I receptor. Determining whether this extensive nuclear localization is characteristic of the endogenous SMA-3 protein must await the development of SMA-3 antibodies.

PatternC-terminal construct: Expression begins late in embryogenesis, and continues through larval stages into adulthood. In larvae, expression is strong in the hypodermis, pharynx and intestine. sma-3 expression in the hypodermis is seen throughout the large hypodermal syncytium hyp7, but not in the lateral hypodermal blast cells (the seam cell).
Expression of the N-terminal construct is similar, although much weaker, even after integration. Again, the nuclear fluorescence is prominent in the pharynx, intestine and hypodermis.
