Remarkn3264 was isolated in a screen for mutants defective in cell-corpse engulfment (Z. Zhou and H.R.H., unpublished data).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005190

RemarkA secreted GFP expressed under the control of the myo-3 promoter normally is diffuse through the C. elegans pseudocoelom but accumulated in the coelomocytes of cup-5(n3264) animals (data not shown).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005190

RemarkCells in mutants were disorganized and displayed irregular morphologies. Specifically, cup-5 mutant animals contained many cells with enlarged vacuoles or lysosomes and membranous lamellar structures that are not seen in wild-type animals.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005190

RemarkMutants accumulated LysoTracker Red in most and possibly all tissues of the embryo. Mutants did not have excess intestinal cells that might have been responsible for the broader distribution of LysoTracker. Furthermore, mutants showed normal distribution of the mitochondrial marker MitoTracker Red. Mutant animals contain excess acidified intracellular compartments that most likely are lysosomes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005190

RemarkThis mutant failed to complement n3194 for maternal-effect lethality; however, it does not confer a maternal-effect lethal phenotype on its own; n3264 seems to be a partial loss-of-function allele.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005190
