WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr12012

• Pattern: Strong mid-L4 larvae C06G1.1p::gfp expression was found in the seam cells, two tail hypodermal cells, four cells in the excretory duct system (duct, excretory, gland cells), vulval muscles, and possible IL or OLQ sheath or socket neuronal support cells similar to the expression pattern observed for Ppa-obi-1. In contrast to the earliest Ppa-obi-1 expression in pre-comma stage, C06G1.1 expression is detectable during late embryogenesis in putative seam cells. However, the seam cell expression is detected earlier than Ppa-obi-1p::gfp in the L1 stage and seam cell expression is maintained until the young adult stage. Like Ppa-obi-1, C06G1.1 expression is largely absent in all tissue types when the transgenic animals become one-day old adult hermaphrodites, coinciding with the fusion of seam cells into a syncytium. This observation indicates that C06G1.1 expression in the excretory and epithelial system may be coordinated and involved in seam cell development.
