WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr11480

• Pattern: plr-1 expression was observed in a subset of head, ventral nerve cord and tail neurons as well as in the excretory canal and tail epidermis. In particular, expression was observed in DB, NSM, RIF or RIG, PHC, CAN, HSN, and VC. Transient expression was detected in AVG during early larval development and late embryogenesis, which is when AVG differentiates. The mechanosensory neurons ALM, AVM, PLM and PVM respond to Wnts and do not express PLR-1.
• Primary Identifier: Expr11480
• Subcellular Localization: When co-expressed in AVG, most PLR-1-mCherry puncta are colabeled with the late endosomal marker RME-8-GFP and some PLR-1-GFP vesicles are marked by the early endosomal reporter mRFP-EEA-1. A few PLR-1 vesicles are co-labeled with the Golgi marker MANS-YFP, but none are marked by the lysosomal reporter LMP-1-GFP. Thus, PLR-1 accumulates primarily in endosomes.

Four processes (canals) of the excretory canal cell each contain a central collecting lumen which feeds to a central lumenal canal in the cell body; the central canal forms a specialized membrane to release fluids into the excretory duct. These five canals form a continuous H-shaped channel which extends almost the full length of the body, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom.	excretory canal	canal	WBbt:0005775
