Regulated By Treatment Description Algorithm Primary Identifier
  Top 300 transcripts enriched in head mesodermal cell, MSpppaaa according to single cell RNAseq. Top 300 enriched transcripts were determined by log2.ratio of the tpm in the cell type vs the tpm in the other cells * the log2 of the cell.type tpm. WBPaper00061340:hmc_and_homolog

3 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
Reporter construct derived from clones that rescue emb-9 phenotype. Transgenic Marker: rol-6(su1006). late embryo(author) = fully-elongated embryo(curator).   Expr518 Body wall muscle cells, hmc and MS.pppaaa show expression in early embryo. In later embryo through adulthood, stain accumulates between the hypodermis and four body muscle quadrants, and surrounds the pharynx, intestine and primordial gonad at L1 through adulthood. Presumptive GLRDL, GLRDR, GLRL, GLRR, GLRVL, GLRVR, coelomocytes, and anal muscles show expression in addition to body muscle cells at L1, L2, L3 L4 and adult. Distal tip cells of developing gonad in L2, L3, and L4. Spermathecal cells and distal ends of gonad show expression at L4 and adult. Vulval and uterine muscles in adult. Also expressed in two to four posterior intestinal cells. Preceding lima stage, intracellular. Later, extracellular around muscle quadrant-hypodermis interface, pharynx, intestine and gonad. Gonad and muscle stain intracellularly, pharynx and hypodermis do not. Four antibodies to type IV collagen gave same expression pattern.
    Expr1633 First, pKK52 expression begins at the 28-cell stage in all four granddaughters and 16 great-great granddaughters of the MS and AB founder cells, respectively; this expression continues in many, possibly all, of their descendants until around the time of hatching. Second, expression becomes more pronounced in seam cells about 1 hour after their birth. This seam expression remains strong throughout embryonic and larval development, but becomes slightly reduced in adults. Third, robust expression is also seen in several cells in the head region, at least some of which are cells in the nervous system (neurons and/or support cells), beginning at approximately the comma stage and continuing through adulthood. For simplicity, this component of the expression pattern was referred as nervous system expression, although the precise identity of these cells were not determined.  
See Expr1633 for pKK52 expression pattern.   Expr1634 pKK41 is expressed in the same groups of cells as the elt-5 translational reporter (pKK52), but the relative expression levels are different. Whereas the elt-5 reporter is strongly expressed in both seam cells and the nervous system during the comma through pretzel stages, the elt-6 reporter is strongly expressed only in the nervous system. Only weak expression of the elt-6 reporter is apparent in seam cells and in the AB and MS descendants during embryogenesis, but the seam expression becomes stronger during larval development. Strong expression of the elt-6 reporter in the nervous system continues throughout larval development.
