62 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr15385

• Primary Identifier: Expr3681
• Remark: The differences in the expression patterns of Pmbr-1::gfp and mbr-1::gfp might be due to the following reasons: first, additional regulatory elements might exist in introns and 3$(B!l(B-UTR regions, which are not included in the former construct; and second, as the product of Pmbr-1::gfp diffuses throughout the cytoplasm, it might be difficult to detect low levels of GFP expression.
• Pattern: In strains that carry Pmbr-1::gfp, GFP expression was observed in restricted sets of interneurons in the head ganglia: AIM, RIC, RIH (or RIR), RIF (or RIG), and a pair of interneurons tentatively identified as AIN. Expression was also observed in three interneurons of the tail ganglia: PVP and an interneuron tentatively identified as DVA or DVC. In contrast, mbr-1::gfp was expressed in several more neurons compared to Pmbr-1::gfp, including sensory neurons. Expression of mbr-1::gfp was also detected in some intestinal cells at the late embryonic stages as well as in vulval cells and some somatic gonadal cells at the L4 stage. mbr-1::gfp expression becomes detectable first around the early comma stage, which corresponds to the time just after the birth of most neurons.
• Subcellular Localization: The MBR-1::GFP fusion protein was localized to the nuclei, consistent with the idea that MBR-1 functions as a transcription factor.

• Pattern: Embryonic expression of exc-7 was first observed at the bean stage. By reverse lineaging with use of SIMI-Biocell software, we confirm the identity of one of the expressing cells at this stage as the excretory canal cell. In L1 animals, broad expression in the head, ventral nerve cord (VNC), and tail was observed. In young adults, expression is notably observed in vulva cells. In the nervous system specifically, expression is observed in many neurons throughout the body, but unlike Drosophila Elav, exc-7::gfp it is not panneuronally expressed. We confirmed previously reported expression in cholinergic VNC MNs, but absence of GABAergic VNC MNs, consistent with previous reports (Fujita et al., 1999; Loria et al., 2003) and consistent with exc-7 functioning in cholinergic, but not GABAergic neurons to control alternative splicing (Norris et al., 2014). exc-7::gfp is also expressed in some non-neuronal cell types, including muscle and hypodermis, but not in the gut. A previous report showed that exc-7 is only transiently and weakly expressed in the excretory cell, which, based on exc-7's excretory mutant phenotype, has puzzled researchers (Fujita et al., 2003). We find that the gfp tagged exc-7 locus is strongly and continuously expressed in the excretory canal cell.

• Pattern: Expressed in a subset of neurons in the pharynx and in the extrapharyngeal nervous system. Expression was also noticed in intestine cells(int1-int9). In the pharynx, eat-4 was found to be expressed in M3, NSM neurons, and possibly I5, but not in muscle. Clear and consistent eat-4 reporter expression was found in 15 different anatomical types.

Weak or rare expression in pharyngeal epithelium, pm2, pm4, pm5, pm6, pm7, pm8, intestine, rectal epithelial cells. Expression in the nervous system: ILso, AIN, AVF, AVJ, AVK, PVR, SAB. Expression in the reproductive system: In adult stage, expressed in Gonad sheath, Vulva(low), vulval muscle, uterine muscle. In developing larva stage, expressed in vulval muscle, uterine muscle. inx-8 is expressed broadly, albeit at very low levels, around two-fold stage, and its expression becomes stronger in the pharynx, nervous tissue, HMC, and GLR cells as development continues. In the reproductive system, expression of inx-8 starts during early larval stages and continues during migrations of the great granddaughters of the SM blast cell to their final locations and after the sex muscles achieve their final structures. inx-8 is expressed in the hypodermal cells of the animal in postembryonic stages.

• Remark: Since these gfp fusions lack the introns and the 3' untranslated region, they might be lacking potential regulatory sequences. In that case, the gfp expression patterns may not precisely represent those of the endogenous kin-8 gene. cam-1 is called kin-8 in this article.
