A proximity labeling system for specific biotin labeling of P granule proteins.

(A) Schematic of proximity-based labeling. Known P granule bait proteins are tagged with the promiscuous biotin ligase—TurboID—to label proteins present in P granules. (B) Brood sizes of strains endogenously tagged at the loci encoding deps-1, glh-1, ife-1, pgl-1, and N2 control. Five independent lines of pgl-1::TurboID heterozygotes are sterile. ns: not significant, *** p<0.0005, two-tailed Student’s t-test. (C) Streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase blotting. The left panel shows whole animal lysates prepared from N2 (untagged control), and strains expressing DEPS-1::TurboID or TurboID::GLH-1 blotted with streptavidin-HRP to visualize biotinylated proteins. The right panel shows Coomassie blue stain of the same membrane. An asterisk marks endogenously biotinylated protein (Based on its size, the protein likely is PCCA-1). (D) Streptavidin-Alexa Fluor 488 staining of gonad dissected from N2 (untagged control), and animals expressing DEPS-1::TurboID and TurboID::GLH-1. Scale bar=10 µm.

Streptavidin pull-down of biotinylated proteins.

(A) Fluorescence micrographs showing pachytene nuclei of wild-type, deps-1::TurboID, and TurboID::glh-1 animals expressing either PGL-1::TagRFP or GFP::CSR-1.Scale bar=10 µm. Animals were cultured at 25°C. (B) Streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase blotting showing pull-down efficiency. Biotinylated proteins are present in the input, depleted in the flow-through and enriched in the pull-down fraction.

Proteomic analysis of P granules and properties of P granule proteome.

(A) Volcano plots showing statistically significant enriched proteins from strains expressing TurboID::GLH-1 and DEPS-1::TurboID in green. One-tailed Student’s t-test, p<0.05, log2(fold change)≥3. GLH-1 and DEPS-1 proteins are shown in red on the respective plots. (B) Venn diagram showing overlapping proteins recovered from strains expressing TurboID::GLH-1 and DEPS-1::TurboID, along with previously reported P granule, Z granule, and mutator foci proteins. The list shows proteins enriched by both pull-down experiments. Argonaute proteins (purple), nuclear pore proteins (NPPs, green), and core P granule components GLH and PGL-1 family proteins (red). P granule and Z granule proteins are marked with an asterisk and two asterisks, respectively. No reported mutator foci proteins were significantly enriched. (C) Schematic of nuclear pores and P granules. Pull-down experiments enrich NPPs (NPP-6, NPP-9, and NPP-14) composing either the cytoplasmic filaments or outer ring (purple). NPPs and their vertebrate homologs are shown. (D) Functional gene set enrichment analysis of proteins significantly enriched in both pull-down experiments organized by molecular function, biological processes, and cellular compartments. Top three enriched categories (based on p-value) are labeled. (E) Boxplot showing the average disorder of proteins enriched in both TurboID::glh-1 and deps-1::TurboID (n=78) as predicted using IUPRED compared to a random control set (n=78). The average disorder of proteins was derived by comparing the total IUPRED score of each protein to its length. Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p<0.01 **). (F) The same analysis as in (E), but with proteins labeled in either TurboID::glh-1 or deps-1::TurboID pull-down experiments (n=204). Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p<0.0001 ****).

Localization of EGGD-1 and EGGD-2 proteins.

(A) Alignment between the extended LOTUS domains of Drosophila melanogaster Oskar mouse TDRD7, TDRD5, and the putative LOTUS domains present in EGGD-1 and EGGD-2. In the ‘secondary structure’ row, ‘h’ indicates a consensus prediction for an alpha-helical secondary structure, while ‘e’ indicates a prediction for a beta sheet. (B) Single confocal slices of EGGD-1::GFP and mCherry::EGGD-2 protein in the adult germ line. Scale bar=20 µm. (C) Maximum intensity projections made from confocal images spanning the depth of embryos, visualizing EGGD-1::GFP, and mCherry::EGGD-2 during embryonic development. Scale bar=5 µm.

EGGD-1 acts upstream of GLH-1 in P granule assembly and localization.

(A) Micrographs showing pachytene nuclei of wild-type and mutant animals expressing GFP::GLH-1 (60× objective). The contrast of images in eggd-1, and eggd-1; eggd-2 mutants is manually adjusted to visualize localization of GFP::GLH-1. Images are representative of at least four animals. Scale bar=10 µm. (B) Fluorescence micrographs of pachytene nuclei from live animals expressing EGGD-1::GFP and PGL-1::TagRFP under the indicated RNAi conditions (60× objective). The contrast in images upon glh-1 RNAi and npp-10 RNAi is manually adjusted to visualize EGGD-1::GFP. Scale bar=10 µm.

EGGD-1 intrinsically localizes to the nuclear envelope and is sufficient to recruit GLH-1 to the nuclear periphery.

Top panel shows the entire head. Scale bar=20 µm. Bottom panel shows individual nuclei outlined by a dashed box in the top panel. Scale bar=2 µm. Images are representative of at least six animals (60× objective). (D) Model illustrating the proposed role of EGGD-1 in P granule assembly.
