“…When examining the localization patterns of CSR-1 isoforms, we found that both CSR-1a and CSR-1b are present in at least two types of germ granules that are closely situated on the nuclear periphery: P granules and Z granules (Figure 2B ). Z granules have been implicated in transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, while P granules have been implicated in sRNA biogenesis and exoRNAi ( 78 ). WAGO-4 and the helicase ZNFX-1 were identified as the founding members of Z granules, and only a few other proteins have been identified in association with Z granules so far ( 65 , 76 , 78 , 79 ).…”

WAGO-4 and the helicase ZNFX-1 were identified as the founding members of Z granules, and only a few other proteins have been identified in association with Z granules so far ( 65 , 76 , 78 , 79 ). Loss of either wago-4 or znfx-1 did not influence the localization of each other to Z granules ( 65 , 76 ).…”

“…In this study, we refer to these condensates collectively as “nuage” following the convention for perinuclear condensates in Drosophila and mammalian systems (Dodson and Kennedy, 2020). Nuage condensates often overlay nucleopores and have been proposed to serve as compartments specialized in transcript surveillance and sRNA amplification (Voronina et al, 2011; Gao and Arkov, 2013; Dodson and Kennedy, 2020; Sundby et al, 2021). What specific functions these compartments play in RNAi inheritance and sRNA amplification is not known.…”

“…C. elegans Argonautes localize to a variety of germ granules (P granules, Mutator foci, Z granules, and SIMR foci) in the germline and early embryo [70]. We carried out Ascaris Argonaute antibody histochemistry on the male and female germlines and early embryo.…”
