WAH-1::GFP was widely expressed in embryos and larvae, displaying a punctate, cytoplasmic staining pattern of the mitochondrial localization pattern. Upon heat-shock treatment of
egl-1(
n3082) embryos transgenic for both
wah-1 promoter::
wah-1::gfp and hsp promoter::
egl-1, WAH-1::GFP lost its normally punctate, cytoplasmic staining pattern and, instead, adopted a more uniform localization pattern with more intense GFP fluorescence seen in the nuclei.
