Subcellular_localizationPAR-1 distribution was examined from the mid-L3 stage to young adulthood, using AJM-1 as a marker for the identity and position of vulval cells through vulval development. PAR-1 is localized near apical junctions prior to vulval development. This localization is common to other C. elegans epithelial cells. After fate specification and precursor proliferation, PAR-1 is not only found near apical junctions, but it is also associated with the cortex of the vulval cells. Through morphogenesis, PAR-1 gradually undergoes a redistribution from near apical junctions to the basolateral cortex. By young adulthood, PAR-1 is highly enriched in basolateral domains and little, if any, is still found associated with junctions. The PAR-1 distribution was identical using three different sources of antibodies to PAR-1 and, was sensitive to par-1(RNAi).
TypeAntibodyAnti-PAR-1 polyclonal antibodies. Three antisera to PAR-1 produced identical staining patterns in the vulva of developing larvae. These included antiserum raised against a portion of the linker region(see Expr578) and two antisera raised against overlapping portions of the carboxyl terminus.
