WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13614

• Pattern: The earliest expression for the gene K04A8.6, chosen based on data in the C. elegans Expression Pattern Consortium database, was also detected in 3-fold embryos. Nuclear localised expression was found in bodywall muscles, hypodermis and the pharyngeal muscles in all post-embryonic stages with the addition of vulval muscles within adults. The fluorescence was not uniform in any of these nuclei; there were regions where fluorescence was absent giving the nuclei a speckled appearance. The majority of expressing nuclei were concentrated in the anterior of the worm, with other nuclei in the tail corresponding to the tail hypodermal cells. Hyp7 and bodywall muscle nuclei were also visible. Very occasionally a punctate distribution of the fusion protein was observed in single adult bodywall muscle cells with some fluorescence remaining in the nucleus. When this non-nuclear localisation of the fusion protein was seen, the fluorescence was arranged in well-separated puncta, which were brighter than the surrounding nuclei in intensity and therefore very distinct.

	The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity.		adult Ce	WBls:0000041
	A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood.		larva Ce	WBls:0000023
	The C. elegans life stage spanning 520-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo is elongated and tripple fold. A stage between 2-fold embryo and fully-elongated embryo. Also called pretzel embryo or pretzel stage.		3-fold embryo Ce	WBls:0000020
