risiRNAs induced a nucleolar accumulation of NRDE-2. (A) Schematic of the dsRNAs targeting different regions of rDNA. (B) (top panel) Images of C. elegans embryos expressing GFP::NRDE-2 (green) and mCherry::RPOA-2 (red) after animals were fed with indicated dsRNA clones. lin-15b is a protein coding gene, which is used as a negative control. Scale bars, 10 μm. (botton panel) The percentage of embryos showing the colocalization of NRDE-2 with RPOA-2 were quantified. (C) Images of C. elegans embryos expressing GFP::NRDE-2 (green) and mCherry::RPOA-2 (red) in indicated animals grown at 20 and 15°C respectively. For the nucleolar NRDE-2 foci in embryos at 15°C in disl-2 and dis-3 mutants, worms were cultured at 15°C from L3 stage to adult stage, then embryos were photographed. Numbers indicate the percentages of the animals with nucleolar-enriched NRDE-2 in embryos (%NCL). The number of scored animals is indicated in parentheses.
