| Type | RT_PCR | RT-PCR were performed with RNA prepared from adults that either contained a normal germline (GL+) or contained no germline (GL-). The mpk-1 gene encodes two major transcripts, mpk-1a and mpk-1b, which produce MPK-1A and MPK-1B proteins, respectively. The mpk-1a mRNA is contained entirely within mpk-1b, but mpk-1b harbors a unique exon. mpk-1 mRNAs was checked using either mpk-1ab primers, which recognize both isoforms, or mpk-1b specific primers. | ||
| Pattern | The mpk-1ab mRNA was abundant in both GL+ and GL- animals, but mpk-1b mRNA was very low or undetectable in GL- animals. Therefore, mpk-1b appears to be enriched in the germline. | |||
