Fig. 9. MAB-9 localisation in vab-7 mutants. (A,B) Embryo at the 1.5-fold stage carrying an integrated mab-9::GFP translational reporter construct (nomarski image on the left, (A), corresponding fluorescence image on the right, (B)). MAB-9 can be seen in three nuclei at this stage around the presumptive rectum, B, F and hyp 7, as has been previously reported (Woollard and Hodgkin, 2000). (C,D) vab-7(e1562) embryo also carrying an integrated mab-9::GFP reporter at the same stage (nomarski image on the left, (C), fluorescence image on the right, (D)). Ectopic MAB-9 can be seen in more posterior nuclei (arrows). Posterior is to the right in all panels. Scale bar, 10 µm.
