PatternWhile the mel-47 transcript was weakly detectable at all developmental stages by Northern blot analysis and quantitative Real Time PCR it was clearly enriched in adults. The mel-47 mRNA level was also relatively high in embryos as expected for a maternally provided mRNA. Compared to wild type hermaphrodites mel-47 mRNA was about ten times less abundant in strongly masculinized tra-2(ar221); xol-1(y9) adults and in true males. The expression of mel-47 appears to be largely, if not fully, restricted to the germ line since in adult glp-1(q231) mutant hermaphrodites that lack a germ line, mel-47 mRNA was barely detectable.
