Abstract

Expression of GFP-Actin results in nuclear actin rod formation during specific stages of oogenesis. Loss of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and signaling results in an increased frequency of cells with nuclear actin rods; there are less rods per cell, but the rods are longer. These findings suggest that loss of PGs results in increased nuclear actin and are consistent with prior findings assessing the roles of PGs in modulating endogenous nuclear actin. Thus, GFP-Actin rod formation can be used as a tool to screen for new regulators of nuclear actin.
