Fig. 5. The yolk receptor RME-2 is expressed abnormally in ATX-2-depleted gonads.
(A-D) Gonads from animals with the indicated genotypes stained for RME-2. (E)
Distal region of a wild-type gonad stained for MEX-3. (F) Distal region of a
mex-3(RNAi) gonad showing inappropriate expression of RME-2. (G)
Composite image showing the distal regions of gonads from animals with
indicated genotypes after in situ hybridization for rme-2 mRNA. Only
a low level of hybridization is present in the distalmost region (brackets) of
the wild-type or mex-3 gonad. (H,I) Central region of gonad from a
glp-1(gf);mex-3(RNAi) animal after staining for RME-2 (H)
and DAPI (I). Scale bars: 50 µm.
