Summary[Phsp-16.2::HA::RNF-121; myo-2p::GFP]
ConstructionConstructWBCnstr00007193
Coinjection_othermyo-2p::GFP
Construction_summaryThis heat-shock inducible construct was generated by cloning the full-length rnf-121 cDNA with an N-terminal HA tag into the pPD49.78 vector which contains the hsp-16.2 promoter site (A. Fire) (Darom et al., 2010).

Remark"Meiotic maturation rates were slower ( 0.85 +/- 0.23 maturations / gonad arm / h ; n = 27 ) relative to the maturation rates in wild-type hermaphrodite that were treated with the same heat-shock conditions ( 2.65 +/- 0.50 maturations / gonad arm / h ; n = 16 ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076

Remark"DIC and 4,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole ( DAPI ) analyses revealed delayed develop- ment of the oocytes in the proximal gonads ( Figure 4 , C-E , compared with Figure 4 , A and B ) . In wild-type gonad , progression of nuclei from pachytene into diplotene occurs in the loop region , whereas in the proximal gonad arm oocytes progress to diakinesis ( Figure 4B , short arrow ) . In contrast , pachytene nuclei were found in the hsp-16p : : RNF-121 proximal gonads after the loop region , indicating a delay in progression into diplotene ( 72.6 +/- 4.5% ; n = 256 ) ( Figure 4E , arrowhead ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076

Remark"In addition to abnormalities in oocyte development and maturation after induction of RNF-121 , we observed gonad migration defects that involved extra turns and abnormal migration paths , as a 45 migration toward the dorsal side followed by a reversed migration to the ventral side and repeated migration toward the dorsal side ( Figure 4G ) or a reversed migration on the ventral side till the midbody ( Figure 4H ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076

Remark"We observed defects in normal development only when RNF-121 was induced at a specific developmental stage , the mid-L2 stage , resulting in decreased hermaphrodite fertility . The average number of progeny of hsp-16p : : RNF-121 was 55 +/- 18 ( n = 65 ) compared with 254 +/- 28 ( n = 60 ) in wild-type worms treated with the same heat-shock conditions at the mid-L2 stage ( Supplemental Figure S4 ) .

Remark" In addition , the developing oocytes and especially the most proximal oocyte had abnormal elongated shapes ( Figure 4 , C , D , and F , white outline ) and were not rectangular as the wild-type oocytes before maturation ( Figure 4A , white outline ) ( McCarter et al . , 1999 ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076

Remark"PAT-3 : : GFP levels are high in the ER of the gonad DTCs at this stage of development , whereas fluorescence intensity decreased after induction of RNF-121 . The mean ratio of fluorescence intensity DTC / muscle ( DTC values were normalized to the fluorescence intensity in the muscle perinuclear region ; see Materials and Methods ) was lower in the PAT-3 : : GFP ;hsp-16p : : RNF-121 worms than in the PAT-3 : : GFP control strain ( 0.39 +/- 0.07 vs . 0.58 +/- 0.11 , respectively ; n = 50 for each group ; p < 0.0001 ) ( Figure 5 , A and B ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076

Remark" After induction of RNF-121 at the mid-L2 stage , the adult gonad arms exhibited defective gametogenesis that resulted in proximal gonads with a small number of oocytes ( Figure 4 , C-H , 3.6 +/- 1.5 oocytes per gonad arm , n = 61 ) in mid- and late-stage adults compared with 9.6 +/- 1.5 oocytes in mid- stage wild-type adults ( n = 49 ) and 9.2 +/- 1.3 in mid-stage adults expressing a ligase-inactive RNF-121 mutant ( hsp-16 : : RNF-121 C222A C225A ;n = 67 ) ."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00036076
