| Pattern | Western blot analysis using glp-4(bn2) mutant protein extracts (that possess virtually no germ line) showed that VBH-1 expression is germline-specific. In contrast, VBH-1 was abundant in fem-1(hc17) and fem-3(q20gf) animals that produce only oocytes or only sperm, respectively. Accumulation of any specific VBH-1 isoforms, in whole animal extracts from L4 hermaphrodites, feminized animals, masculinized animals or males, was not observed. These experiments suggest that the VBH-1 protein is germline-specific, and is expressed during both spermatogenesis and oogenesis. | |||
