WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9754

• Pattern: Nuclear-localized GFP was seen from embryo to adult, in many components. There was considerable variation between individuals of each transgenic line generated which may reflect the very faint GFP expression, albeit stronger than for any of the strains generated for fUL#JW170, with gfp inserted directly upstream of the pqn-21 stop codon. In UL3453, bodywall muscle as well as intestinal and hypodermal GFP expression was observed. In UL3419, which expressed at a lower level than UL3453, GFP expression was seen in bodywall muscle and spermathecae. GFP in bodywall muscle was not always very nuclear-localized.

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
Epidermal layer.	hypodermis	epidermis	WBbt:0005733
