Interaction_summaryIn immunofluorescence studies, an antibody to RME-2 localises in a punctate pattern at the surface of late stage oocytes. In one- and two-cell stage embryos, RME-2 can be detected in intracellular vesicles; it rapidly disappears as embryos develop, presumably as it is no longer required and is degraded following its release from the yolk ligand. cpl-1(ok360) oocytes and early embryos showed a similar punctate pattern of anti-RME-2 reactivity to that in wild-type embryos. However, instead of rapidly disappearing, RME-2 could still be detected in later stage mutant embryos, in which it localised to the periphery of the large yolk vesicles. Localisation of RME-2 to the peripheral region and yolk to the lumen, indicated that although present in the same compartment, yolk and RME-2 are separated from one another. RME-2 localisation could be observed in terminal stage mutant embryos, although the level of receptor was slightly decreased. This suggested that recycling and/or degradation of the yolk receptor is significantly delayed, but not completely blocked, in cpl-1 mutant embryos.
