Subcellular_localizationIn later stages, most cells show strong perinuclear localization of GFP and a nonuniform cytosolic signal, which likely represents localization to intracellular membranes, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi.

PatternThe N-terminal and loop pen-2::GFP fusions gave strong GFP fluorescence in most somatic tissues beginning at the 100-cell stage of development, including neurons, muscle, intestine, and the developing vulva. pen-2::GFP fluorescence was not detectable in early embryos, even though the pen-2::GFP transgenes rescue early pen-2 function.

RemarkTransgenes expressing pen-2 with GFP inserted at the N terminus or within the predicted loop between the two transmembrane domains efficiently rescue the Egl and Mel pheno types of pen-2(ep220), indicating that both constructs encode functional PEN-2 proteins. In contrast, GFP fused to the C terminus induces a dominant-negative Mel/Aph phenotype in an otherwise wild-type background, similar to the pen-2 loss of function phenotype, indicating an important function for pen-2 C-terminal sequences.
