Subcellular_localizationIt was concentrated in small punctate structures within these cells. The size and distribution of these structures were similar to those of lysosomes and of CDR-1-eGFP. It has been shown that when a nonfusion form of eGFP is expressed in intestinal cells, it accumulates in the cytoplasm, not in vesicles. The transgenic nematodes were fed rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC)-labeled dextran, which labels intestinal cell lysosomes, to confirm that CDR-4 was targeted to the lysosomes. In the double-labeling experiment, both eGFP and rhodamine colocalized to the same structures, confirming that CDR-4 is targeted to intestinal cell lysosomes.
TypeReporter_gene
PatternThe CDR-4-eGFP fusion protein was expressed predominately in the intestinal cells of the nematodes.
