Figure 2. DHS-28 and DAF-22 are located in peroxisomes of the hypodermis and intestinal cells.The plasmid vector for dhs-28Prom::GFP::
dhs-28 full gene and daf-22Prom::GFP::
daf-22 full gene were constructed and injected into wild-type N2 worms. pHSP16/2GFP-SKL (a gift from Professor M. Driscoll), a peroxisomal-localizing control vector, was injected into N2 (A, B and C) [33]. The expression of DHS-28::GFP (E, F and G) and DAF-22::GFP (I, J and K) in hypodermis and intestine is shown, with enlargements of intestinal expression (C, G and K). Far right panels show that
prx-5 RNAi treatment abolished peroxisomal expression of pHSP16/2GFP-SKL (D), DHS-28::GFP (H) and DAF-22::GFP (L). Scale bar = 50 um.
