Subcellular_localizationDouble labeling of intestinal cells with acridine orange, a dye for acidic compartment staining. As a result, HAF-4::GFP-positive and acridine orange-positive granules turned out to be mutually exclusive, and the pattern was same in case of HAF-9:: GFP-positive granules. A similar exclusive pattern was observed when LysoTracker Red, another dye for monitoring the acidification of subcellular compartments, was used in place of acridine orange.
In intestinal cells of the late larval and adult stages, HAF-4::GFP and HAF-9::GFP seemed, under confocal microscopy, to be distributed on the surface of intestinal granules of some sort. These results indicate that HAF-4 and HAF-9 are present on the membranes of some intestinal granules. The HAF-4::GFP-positive and HAF-9::GFP-positive granules were relatively large (>2 um average diameter) and accounted for the majority of distinguishable intestinal granules.

PatternGFP expression was observed at the larval and adult stages exclusively in all of the 20 intestinal cells of which a whole intestine consists. At the embryonic stage, no expression was found.
