TypeAntibodyRabbit polyclonal antibody to POD-1.
PatternPOD-1 localization in P cells is cell cycle dependent. In the earliest one-cell embryos before pronuclear meeting (P0), cortical POD-1 is either anteriorly enriched (12/24 embryos), posteriorly enriched (5/24 embryos), or uniformly localized (7/24 embryos). From pronuclear meeting to metaphase, cortical POD-1 is almost always anteriorly enriched (30/39 embryos). At anaphase, POD-1 begins to transition from asymmetric to symmetric localization, such that by telophase cortical POD-1 can be found at equivalent levels in the anterior and posterior cortices (10/11 embryos). In addition to cell cortices, POD-1 antibodies stain punctate cytoplasmic structures. POD-1 can be found in the posterior-most cortex, albeit at lower levels than the anterior. The localization of POD-1 in the germ-line precursors of the two-cell and four-cell embryo is also cell cycle dependent such that early in the cell cycle, POD-1 is not asymmetric along the a-p axis, but becomes anteriorly enriched leading up to metaphase.

RemarkTo confirm that the localization patterns described are specific to POD-1, pod-1(ye11) mutant embryos were stained with both POD-1 antibodies. All cortical and cytoplasmic POD-1 staining was eliminated in the mutant embryos.
