FIGURE 10:

Overexpression of the UNC-89’s SH3 domain causes paramyosin to be mislocalized. (A) Immunolocalization of HA, paramyosin, and UNC-95 in body wall muscle cells of wild-type (no array) or transgenic animals expressing either HA-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2 or HA-SH3-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2 (as integrated arrays). Top row, anti-HA does not react to anything in wild-type muscle; in some animals or in some cells within the same animal, the fragments are localized to either both M-lines (arrow) and dense bodies (arrowheads) or only to M-lines (arrows). Middle row, in wild type (no array) or in animals overexpressing HA-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2, paramyosin is localized to A-bands, with some reduced localization to M-lines; however, in animals overexpressing HA-SH3-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2, paramyosin localizes in an abnormal pattern, to what appear to be M-lines and dense bodies. Bottom row, the overall organization of M-lines and dense bodies is normal in transgenic animals expressing either HA-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2 or HA-SH3-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2. (B) Coimmunostaining of anti-UNC-95 and anti-paramyosin antibodies in body wall muscle of transgenic nematodes overexpressing HA-SH3-1/3IK-Ig-Fn-PK2. UNC-95 is a marker for M-lines (arrows) and dense bodies (arrowheads). Note that paramyosin abnormally localizes to these structures. Scale bars, 10 μm.
