Fig. 4. MRG-1 associates with autosomes independently of the MES proteins.
(A-D) One-cell wild-type embryo at pronuclear meeting doubly stained
with mouse PA3 to stain DNA (A) and rabbit anti-MES-4 (C) and imaged for
GFP::MRG-1 (B). (D) Merged image of DNA (red) and GFP::MRG-1 (green). Arrows
point to chromatin lacking both MRG-1 and MES-4. (E-M) One-cell embryos
at pronuclear meeting stained with mouse PA3 (E,H,K and red in merge) and
rabbit anti-MRG-1 (F,I,L and green in merge). (E-G) Wild-type embryo. (H-J)
mes-2(bn76)rol-1 M-Z-embryo. (K-M) mes-4(bn73) M-Z-embryo.
Arrows point to presumptive X chromosomes. (N-S) One-cell embryos at
pronuclear meeting stained with mouse PA3 (N,Q and red in merge) and rabbit
anti-MES-4 (O,R and green in merge). (N-P) Wild-type embryo. (Q-S)
mrg-1(qa6200) M-Z-embryo. Arrows point to X chromosomes. Scale bars:
