WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9740

• Pattern: Widespread GFP expression was observed, in all stages, with many components. But in all strains obtained, individuals only showed a few components, presumably due to a high degree of mosaicism. Weak GFP expression was seen in many head neurons and tail neurons. Much weaker GFP expression was found in body wall muscle, intestine and spermathecae. GFP expression was weaker than for reporter gene fusions that tagged different specific jun-1 transcripts at the start of the protein coding region. The absence of some expression pattern components that could be seen with transcript specific reporter gene fusion constructions might be due to the low level of expression seen with this fusion with gfp inserted at the end of the protein coding region.

an accordion-like tube that contains sperm and is the site of oocyte fertilization.	spermatheca		WBbt:0005319
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
neuron with its cell body situated in the head, excluding the pharynx.	head neuron		WBbt:0006751
neuron with its cell body situated in the tail, posterior to rectum.	tail neuron		WBbt:0006759
