PatternAfter hatching, TRA-1 was still detected in SGPs, but its level and subcellular distribution were distinct in the two sexes. In hermaphrodite L1 SGPs, TRA-1 was largely nuclear, but in male L1 SGPs, TRA-1 was present at a lower level and was uniformly distributed between nucleus and cytoplasm. A similar sexually dimorphic difference was observed in the distribution of GFP::TRA-1 in L1 SGPs. The GFP::TRA-1 reporter partially rescued tra-1(0) mutants, indicating that it produces a functional protein. After the first SGP division, TRA-1 continues to be expressed in hermaphrodite gonads, but is no longer detectable in males.
In wild-type XX embryos, TRA-1 was predominantly nuclear in SGPs from formation of the primordium, through embryogenesis, and into the first larval stage.
Next, embryos from a fog-2 male/female strain was examined , which produces 50% XX and 50% XO progeny, to determine if TRA-1 is similarly expressed in male SGPs. In 2-fold embryos, most SGPs possessed nuclear TRA-1 (27/30). Therefore, TRA-1 is present in SGP nuclei of both XX hermaphrodite and XO male embryos.
