Subcellular_localizationAlthough primarily localized in the cytoplasm, SNX-1::GFP was also found to be enriched around both embryonic and germ cell corpses, displaying ring-like or punctate structures. These observations suggest that SNX-1 is likely recruited to the surface of cell corpses during the process of cell corpse clearance. Interestingly, the corpse-surface localization of SNX-1::GFP is dependent on the cell corpse stage. For example, SNX-1::GFP encircles early stage germ cell corpses but not late stage corpses, suggesting that SNX-1/retromer likely acts during early steps of cell corpse removal.

PatternSNX-1::GFP expression is ubiquitous in early embryos at the ~50-cell stage and appears to be cytoplasmic. At larval stages, SNX-1::GFP is expressed in many cell types responsible for engulfing somatic cell corpses, including hypodermal, intestinal and body wall muscle cells. In adult animals, SNX-1::GFP is also seen in gonadal sheath cells that function to engulf germ cell corpses, and coelomocytes.
