Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
Picture: N.A.   Expr8691 Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in pm2, pm4, pm5, mc1, mc2. Weak or rare expression in pm3, pm6, pm7, pm8, K.a/K$(B!G(B cells.  
Picture: Fig 3.   Expr8679 Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in anterior arcades, posterior arcades, pharyngeal epithelium, pm4, pm8, g1, g2, vir, K.a/K' cells. inx-11 is more strongly expressed in the most posterior (int 9) intestinal cell. Weak or rare expression in pm1, pm2, pm3, pm5, pm6, pm7. Expression in the nervous system: CEPsh, DVC, LUA. Expression in the reproductive system: In adult stage, expressed in utse. In developing larva stage, expressed in uterus, sperm (spermatocytes, spermatids). Expression of inx-11 appears in pharyngeal tissue around two-fold stage, and by three-fold stage, strong expression becomes restricted to g1, g2, pm4, and pm8. inx-11 is expressed in the hypodermal cells of the animal in postembryonic stages.  
Three methods, lacZ, gfp, antibody staining results all mixed together. Lots of unextracted cell objects buried in pattern text.   Expr841 PAL-1 produced from zygotic transcripts is seen initially in C and D lineage cells that also expressed maternally derived PAL-1. As gastrulation begins, expression is seen in only Ca and Cp and then in their daughters, of which 2 are hypodermoblasts (Caa and Cpa) and 2 are myoblasts (Cap and Cpp). The GFP reporter is first detected at the late 2C-cell stage and then more strongly in the 4 daughters. At about 100 cells, expression is also detected in the 2 D-lineage myoblasts. Thereafter, PAL-1 continues to be detected in all C and D descendants until the end of gastrulation at about 350 cells. At about 180 cells (midgastrulation), the C hypodermal precursors, which express more strongly than the muscle precursors, form a characteristic double row on each side of the dorsal midline in the posterior. Thereafter, PAL-1 decreases in these cells and is no longer detectable with antibody after 350 500 cells. At about 250 cells, expression is detected in two AB cells that border the posterior left edge of the mesectodermal cell layer that is closing the ventral gastrulation cleft (ABplpappp and ABplppppp) and slightly later in the right homolog of one of them (ABprppppp). The daughters and granddaughters of these cells, generated after the cleft closes, continue to express strongly along the ventral midline until about the time of hatching. Beginning at about 360 cells, as morphogenesis begins, weak transient expression is detected in the posterior ectodermal P cells and occasionally in posterior V cells as both groups move ventrally. During this period the V cells become the lateral seam cells, and the P cells undergo their terminal embryonic divisions as they complete hypodermal enclosure of the embryo. Meanwhile, in the interior, pal-1 expression, detectable both with antibody and with reporter constructs, appears at about 350 cells in 2 Ea descendents near the middle of the gut primordium (the int5 pair) and in 2 anteriorly located MS descendants which migrate to the posterior and become the mesoblast M and the right intestinal muscle (mu intR). During early morphogenesis as the embryo develops through the comma stage and begins to elongate, all the pal-1-expressing cells (approximately 50) are located in the posterior ventral region, except for the 2 midgut cells which lie more dorsally. The descendants of ABpl/rppppp, as well as mu intR, move into the elongating tail and participate in formation of the rectal and associated intestinal muscles, as well as the ventral tail hypodermis. Expression diminishes during elongation and by hatching is detectable only in the 2 gut cells, M, mu intR, and 10 cells descended from ABpl/rppppp.  
Picture: N.A.   Expr8184 sem-4 is expressed in all rectal cells in L1s hermaphrodites (i.e., Y, U, B, F, K, and K') and in all rectal cells, including P12.pa, in L3 or older worms.  
    Expr16157 We confirmed the expression of this construct in F and U, but detected expression at lower frequency and level in other hindgut cells in hermaphrodites grown at 20C. Expression is also observed in K and K'. In wild type, cdh-3::gfp expression is never observed in Y. In contrast, the B cell expresses cdh-3::gfp at low levels in wild type.  
Interestingly, Y is replaced in the hindgut by P12.pa, a descendant of the only P cell in which PEB-1 protein expression was detected in L1 larvae. No detailed description on cellular expression patterns in pharynx, try to find those information in Expr838.   Expr3462 In summary, PEB-1 accumulated in L1 larvae in the nuclei of all hypodermal cells and the epithelial cells lining the rectal lumen. As in the pharynx, PEB-1 was not detectable in neuroblasts or differentiated neurons. PEB-1-expressing cells are not obviously related by cell type or lineage. Rather, one striking common feature of these cells is that they contact the cuticle on the exterior of the worm or lining the pharyngeal or rectal lumen. Like in the pharynx, PEB-1 was first detected in the hypodermal nuclei in comma stage embryos (approximately 400 min) and remained detectable until hatching. In 1 1/2-fold stage embryos, the PEB-1 protein was detected in the nuclei of most, if not all, hypodermal cells including hyp5, hyp6, and hyp7 and the H, P, and V cells. After hatching, PEB-1 remained detectable in most hypodermal cells although it decreased in later larvae and was undetectable in adults. In the L1 lateral hypodermis, the PEB-1 protein was detected in H0, H1, H2, V1 to V6, and T, and their anterior and posterior daughters, as well as in the nuclei of the hyp7 syncytium. PEB-1 was also detected in many of the dorsal and ventral hypodermal nuclei in the head and the ventral hypodermal nuclei in the tail. Notably, PEB-1 was not detected in larval P cells. In addition, PEB-1 was not detected in other neuroblasts including Q and T.p. PEB-1 was also expressed in cells lining the lumen of the hindgut. In 1 1/2-fold embryos (approximately 420 min), PEB-1 was detected in many nuclei near the posterior of the embryo. These likely include both the posterior hypodermal cells and hindgut cells, although these cells cannot be easily distinguished at this stage. In L1 larvae, PEB-1 was detected in many of the non-neuronal nuclei surrounding the rectal lumen, including K, K', U, F, B, and Y. PEB-1 was not detected in the rectal-intestinal valve or the anal depressor muscle. As in other tissues, the PEB-1 protein remained detectable in the hindgut throughout larval development but became progressively less abundant and undetectable in adults. Importantly, this progressive decrease in PEB-1 expression also occurs in Y, which withdraws from the hypodermis during late larval development to become a neuron. nuclei

MSaaxxx, MSpaxxx (37 pharyngeal cells, 2 neurons, 10 muscle cells). Onset time: <200 cells. Expressed in rectal precursors: ABprpapppxx, ABprpppppax, ABplpppppax, ABplpapppxx (7 rectal and digestive muscle cells, 2 neurons, 1 muscle cell.) Onset time: >350 cells.  
Picture: Fig 3.   Expr8687 Expression in the alimentary canal: Strong and consistent expression in K.a/K' cells. Weak or rare expression in intestine. Expression in the nervous system: AVB, AVK. Expression in the reproductive system: In developing larva stage, expressed in distal tip cells during distal tip cell migration.  
    Expr3510 Pdaf-6GFP was expressed in the amphid sheath glia. Expression was also seen in amphid socket cells, the phasmid sensory organ sheath and socket cells, cells of the excretory system (the excretory canal, duct, pore, and gland cells), the vulval E and F cells, the K, K', F, and U rectal epithelial cells, and less frequently in posterior intestinal cells.  
    Expr3511   In the amphid, DAF-6::GFP fusion protein expression usually persisted only up to the L1 larval stage, and the protein localized to the region of the amphid channel formed by the sheath and socket cells. DAF-6::GFP also localized to the luminal surfaces of tubes generated by other cells expressing daf-6. As in the amphid, expression in the phasmid sheath and socket cells usually did not persist beyond the L1 larval stage. Expression in vulval cells was usually restricted to the L4 larval stage, after the cells were generated and during or shortly after the vulval lumen was generated. Expression in the rectum and excretory system was observed throughout embryogenesis and larval development, but usually not during adulthood. DAF-6::GFP protein was detected in punctate structures within the cytoplasm of expressing cells. This localization was best seen in the vulva and in the excretory canal cell. Thus, DAF-6 may localize to vesicles as well.
No detailed description on postembryonic expression pattern.   Expr1419 PHA-4 was observed in the nuclei of cells destined to form the digestive tract. At the 4E stage, weak expression is detected in 8 MS great-granddaughters and 10 ABa descendants (ABaraaaa/p, ABaraapa/p, ABarapaa/p, ABalpaaa/p, ABalpapa/p) that each produce pharyngeal cells, as well as nonpharyngeal cells. Faint expression was also detected in the four midgut precursors. Brighter staining is observed in 6 to 8 MS-derived and 16 to 18 ABa-derived cells after the next cell division (MSaaaa/p, MSaapa/p, MSpaaa/p, MSpapa/p). Soon thereafter, at the 8 to 12E stage, PHA-4 is first observed in the rectal precursors. Expression is maintained in all pharyngeal, midgut, and rectal cells throughout embryogenesis. nuclei
    Expr2401 In addition to hindgut cells, lin-48::gfp is expressed in the excretory duct cell, neuronal support cells of the phasmid and labial sensory structures and a small number of additional unidentified cells in the head. In the hindgut, these transgenes are expressed in U, F, K' and K cells. Male animals exhibit additional expression in the developing tail structures. lin-48::gfp expression is initiated in late embryogenesis and persists into adulthood. The chimeric LIN-48::GFP protein is localized to the nuclei of expressing cells.
Reporter gene fusion type not specified.   Expr2726 Expressed in K and K'. Not expressed in intestino-rectal valve, rectal epithelial cells, U, R, B or Y cells.
