mislocalized protein during vegetative growth increased punctate cytoplasmic protein localization A cell phenotype in which a protein is localized to discrete regions in the cytoplasm, visible as foci or dots by microscopy, to a greater extent observed than in normal (wild type) cells. increased punctate cytoplasmic protein localization during mitotic cell cycle midori increased punctate cytoplasmic protein localisation increased punctate cytoplasmic protein localization during vegetative growth 2014-07-01T13:51:07Z This term can be used for proteins that do not normally localize to discrete cytoplasmic regions, or for proteins that do normally show punctate localization but with such localization increased in a mutant. We recommend noting which protein(s) were used in the assay when annotating to this term. FYPO:0003482 increased protein localization to cytoplasmic puncta
