Subcellular_localizationEGRH-1 was localized to nuclei in all tissues except sperm, where it appeared perinuclear. Importantly, no egrh-1::gfp expression or EGRH-1 antibody staining was observed in oocytes.

PatternTo understand EGRH-1 function in regulating oocyte development, authors examined egrh-1::gfp expression and endogenous EGRH-1 expression using an antibody targeting a unique region at the EGRH-1 N-terminus in dissected adult hermaphrodites. Using both techniques, EGRH-1 expression was observed in the sheath cells and distal tip cells of the somatic gonad, as well as in the intestine and sperm.
egrh-1::gfp was expressed in embryos through adult stages in most somatic tissues, including the gut, pharynx, body wall muscle, and nervous system.

RemarkPicture: Fig. 5.
To test if EGRH-1 antibody staining was specific, authors stained egrh-1(tm1736) mutants, which are predicted to encode a truncated protein that would be recognized by our antibody, and egrh-1(tm1736) with egrh-1 expression further reduced by RNAi. Staining was decreased in both cases, indicating that this antibody stain is specific for EGRH-1.
