PPTR-1 co-localizes with AKT-1. akt-1∷gfp;pptr-1∷mC-flag, akt-2∷gfp;pptr-1∷mC-flag and sgk-1∷gfp;pptr-1∷mC-flag transgenic worms were mounted and visualized by fluorescence microscopy using Rhodamine (mCherry) and FITC (GFP) filters. PPTR-1 expression is observed mainly in the pharynx, vulva and spermatheca (A-C, mCherry).
A) Expression of PPTR-1∷mC-FLAG (mCherry) and AKT-1∷GFP (GFP) in a akt-1∷gfp; pptr-1∷mC-flag strain. Expression of PPTR-1∷mC-FLAG overlaps with AKT-1∷GFP (Merge).
B) PPTR-1∷mC-FLAG and AKT-2∷GFP colocalize in some tissues in a akt-2∷gfp; pptr-1∷mC-flag strain (Merge).
C) SGK-1∷GFP and PPTR-1∷mC-FLAG do not colocalize in sgk-1∷gfp;pptr-1∷mC-flag transgenic worms (Merge).
Arrows indicate the following tissues: p-pharynx, v-vulva, s-spermatheca, i-intestine
