Picture: Figure 8. Staining was greatly reduced in unc-87(e843).   Expr4809 The antibody react with body wall muscle, pharyngeal muscle, anal depressor and sphincter muscle, intestinal muscles, vulval muscles and uterine muscles. In all cases, UNC-87 was contained withing the pattern observed with phalloidin or anti-actin antibodies, suggesting colocalization with thin filaments.. Immunohistochemical staining of wild type adult body wall muscle revealed a atriated pattern. The striations are interupted periodically along their length by unstained regions. Double labelling experiments showed that anti-UNC-87 staining pattern corresponded with that of the monoclonal antibody MH44. This pattern represent the I band. At the center of the I band are the dense bodies, these correspond to the unstained regions within the striations.
    Expr4264 Expressed in body wall muscle cells, pharyngeal muscles, rectal gland cells, vulval and uterine muscles, and a subset of neurons in the head and ventral nerve cord. The expression was first detected in the embryo at the 1.5-fold stage and continued to be expressed until adulthood. In this stage, cells with position corresponding to P cells showed also GFP expression. In order to determine if the expression of GFP was in epidermal lineages, including P cells and their descendants, authors prepared double transgenic lines expressing GFP from promoter 1 of nhr-40 on the background of SU93 line that expresses an AJM::GFP membrane marker. This confirmed the expression of nhr-40::gfp in epidermal precursors P cells and their neuronal progeny within the ventral neuronal cord. However, the GFP was not observed in ventral epidermal cells that originated from P cells. The nhr-40::gfp was not observed in seam cells that are also marked by an AJM::GFP. The muscle pattern of expression was partially lost with truncations of this promoter fragments (-1013 and -682 bp); however, other aspects of expression were retained.  
    Expr4663 ppk-1::GFP expression was observed in such somatic tissues as gonad sheath and spermatheca, distal tip cells, and uterine and vulva muscles. ppk-1::GFP also showed extensive expression in such neuronal cells as ventral nerve cord, neuronal cell bodies near the nerve ring, and tail neurons.  
  For dre-1::gfp, a 4 kb promoter was amplified with primers 5' -GGTACCCGAGGGGACATCGAGATAG-3' and 5' -GGTACCTTCCTGGCCAACCAGAGAC-3' and was cloned into Fire vector L3781 (BA 279). The dre-1 ORF and the dre-1 3' UTR region were amplified with primers 5' -GCTAGCATGTCGTCCTCTTCGTCAC-3' and 5' -ACTAGTTACTTACTCCACTCCACACAG-3' and were cloned into BA279 (BA280). Lines containing this construct included dhEx346 and dhIs442. To obtain the full-length promoter construct, authors substituted the promoter from BA279 with a 12.3 kb promoter by using primers 5' -GCGGCCGCGTTGCACACAAAACATTATTATTTTCTTTCTCTT-3' and 5' -TACGTATCTCGTCCCTGAGATCTCTCATTT-3' (BA508). Resulting lines containing this array included dhEx443 and dhEx452. --precise ends. Expr4547 First detected by midembryogenesis, expression was most prominent in epidermal and intestinal cells. By the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis, expression was additionally detected in neurons and other cells. During larval and adult stages, DRE-1::GFP was most visible in epidermal seam cells and hypodermis. Expression was high in larvae and low in adults. In addition, DRE-1 was strongly expressed in the P epidermal blast cells and descendents that give rise to the vulva. Weak expression was seen in the somatic gonad, including the gonadoblasts, the anchor cell, dtcs, and occasionally adult spermatheca and uterus. Notably, with another construct (dhEx346, 4 kb promoter, 4 kb coding region), dtc expression was stronger and commenced by mid-L3. In the musculature, DRE-1 was seen in the pharynx, anal depressor, sex muscles, and body wall muscles. Finally, DRE-1 was detected in neurons of the head, tail, ventral cord, and periphery. Generally, DRE-1::GFP was localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm, and it was broadly expressed, including in phenotypically affected tissues.
