"Under normal conditions GFP::LGG-1 is cytoplasmic and diffuse in the worm's hypodermal seam cells, but under DR conditions, forms puncta which are associated with an increase in autophagy [20]. We observed a significant increase in the average number of GFP::LGG-1 puncta per seam cell in the
eat-2 background, and found that
nhr-62 RNAi suppressed puncta formation back to wild-type levels, suggesting that
nhr-62 modulates autophagy up-regulation under DR (Figure 5D)."
