Subcellular_localizationHemicentin was deposited at low levels throughout the ventral and gonadal basal membranes (BMs), and accumulated in track-like lines at the edges of the ventral BM. Notably, prior to invasion (from P6.p one-cell stage to mid P6.p two-cell stage), hemicentin accumulated in punctae precisely under the AC. The approximate size of the hemicentin structures was similar to the size of the BM-BM adhesions observed with electron microscopy (187.2 ± 0.8 nm, n = 104 structures in 23 worms). Time-lapse imaging revealed that hemicentin structures were static and new punctae continued to form throughout the course of AC invasion. Once formed, the hemicentin structures remained within the BM under the AC and did not disassemble during invasion (n = 132 punctae in 22 animals). Hemicentin punctae are tightly associated with the BM and are present at the time and location of BM-BM adherence.
