Subcellular_localization | Intestinal expression appeared to be localized to both apical and basolateral membrane regions. The circumferential ORAI-1::GFP localization pattern is consistent with expression in the basal plasma membrane. Non-circumferential localization is probably due to membrane folding and/or expression at lateral cell borders. The complicated morphology of the spermatheca precluded definitive localization of ORAI-1::GFP to the apical cell membrane. | |

Pattern | Prominent expression of ORAI-1::GFP was detected in the spermatheca, intestine and hypodermis. In the intact animal, it was unclear whether gonadal sheath cells expressed ORAI-1::GFP, due to the intense fluorescence from the intestine and spermatheca. To examine sheath cell expression further, authors imaged gonads dissected free from a worm strain expressing an orai-1 transcriptional GFP reporter. orai-1 is also expressed in both proximal and distal gonadal sheath cells. | |
