168 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4817
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 2G.
• Pattern: In wild-type animals, GFP was observed in all identified serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons and many muscle cells. Please note: this strain -JY739- shows expression in biogenic amine neurons and the epidermis, not in muscle cells (Loer et al., 2015. Genetics. WBPaper00046585, Expr12165).

• Primary Identifier: Expr4693
• Remark: nsy-5 = T16H5.1.
• Pattern: A GFP reporter transgene with 5.8 kb of the nsy-5 promoter was expressed exclusively in sensory neurons and interneurons in the head and tail. The neurons that expressed nsy-5::GFP included AWC, ASH, AFD, ASI, ADL, ASK, BAG, AWB, and ADF (head sensory neurons); ADA, AIZ, RIC, AIY, and AIM (head interneurons); PHA and PHB (tail sensory neurons); and PVC and PVQ (tail interneurons). Expression began about halfway through embryogenesis, was strongest in late embryogenesis and the L1 larval stage, and faded thereafter. Adults maintained weak expression in several neurons, including ASH but not AWC.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4403
• Pattern: Strong and consistent expression was observed in a limited number of neurons in the head and tail and coelomocytes. Weaker and/or inconsistent expression of TTX-7::EGFP was detected in nerve cord motor neurons, intestine, and somatic gonad. The head neurons expressing ttx-7::EGFP include AFD and RIA neurons. Also expressed in ASH, ASE, ASJ, AWC, ADF, ADL, ASI, ASK, AWB, VNC motor neurons, etc.
• Subcellular Localization: TTX-7::EGFP was diffusely expressed in the cytoplasm and was not localized to any specific subcellular compartment.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4227
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
• Pattern: Expressed in NSM and ADF neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8656
• Remark: Picture: Fig 3.
• Pattern: The fusion protein encoded by the transgene was preferentially detected in several tissues including the nervous system. However, its presence was not uniform. Within the nervous system, ELPC-1::GFP was seen predominantly in a pair of neurons that control egg-laying, the HSNs, and in chemosensory neurons in the head. Within the latter class of neurons, the ELPC-1::GFP level was particularly high in the ASE, ADF and ASK pairs of neurons. Outside of the nervous system, a strong ELPC-1::GFP signal was seen in the pharynx and the vulva. In all animals examined, ELPC-1::GFP expression was also seen in the two CAN cells.
• Subcellular Localization: In the nervous system, expression was seen both within the cell bodies and along the entire lengths of the neuronal processes. Outside of the nervous system, in all cells in which ELPC-1::GFP was seen, fluorescence was restricted to the cytoplasm.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15649

• Primary Identifier: Expr3175
• Pattern: Expressed in ADF, ADL, AFD, ASE, ASG, ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, AWA, AWB, AWC, BAG, PHA, PHB, URX, intestine.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8976
• Remark: Picture: Fig 4E to 4H. npr-5 = Y58G8A.4 in this paper.
• Pattern: The npr-5p::RFP transgene was expressed in a subset of amphid neurons (ADF, ASE, ASG, ASI, ASJ, ASK, AWA, AWB) in the inner labial neuron IL2, in the interneurons AIA and AUA, and in the phasmids (PHA, PHB). Outside the nervous system, npr-5p::RFP was expressed in head, neck, and body muscles throughout larval and adult development.

• Primary Identifier: Marker42
• Remark: Picture: Figure 8A. Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
• Pattern: Expressed in ASE neurons, also expressed in the AFD or ADF neuron classes.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8247
• Remark: Picture: Figure 5D.
• Pattern: Pmgl-3::gfp was expressed in NSM, ADF, ASE, and AWC amphid sensory neurons, and the RIB and RIC interneurons. Occasional expression in BAG-ciliated neurons was also noted.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15388

• Primary Identifier: Expr11753
• Remark: genomic

• Primary Identifier: Expr12168
• Pattern: qdpr-1 was expressed in the epidermis -similar to what observed in cat-4 transgenics- but was not highly expressed in 5HT and DA neurons. These transgenics all also showed some expression of varying intensity in other cells (non-epidermal cells, and non-5HT and non-DA neurons in the head and body). A qdpr-1 full-length translational fusion was expressed in several known 5HT and DA neurons, including NSMs, ADFs, CEPs, and other cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr11444
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion not specified.
• Pattern: Not expressed in NSM nor HSN. Expressed in several dim cells in the head (ADF?) tail and head hypodermal cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3169
• Pattern: Expressed in ADF, ADL, ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, PHA, PHB.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3185
• Pattern: Expressed in ADF, ADL, ASE, ASG, ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, PHA, PHB, URX, labial neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr15558

• Primary Identifier: Expr1688
• Remark: The cellular expression pattern for nlp-3 fragments was indistinguishable from the cellular expression pattern for nlp-3 subcloned constructs. Transgenic lines were generated by coinjection of the nlp::gfp construct (5070 ng/ul) and lin-15 rescue construct (pJM24,100 ng/ul) into lin-15(n765ts) animals. At least two independent transgenic lines were analyzed for each nlp gene; 5-10 animals were scored per line. 1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3 -tetramethylindodicarbocyanine perchlorate (Molecular Probes) was used to stain amphid and phasmid neurons to facilitate identification.
• Pattern: Expressed in ADF, ASE, ASH, AWB, ASJ, BAG, HSN, I1, I2, I3, I4, MI, M3, NSMR, 3 head neurons, VNC, oocytes, I6, M2, pm1VL, intestine.

• Pattern: To determine where lite-1 is expressed and identify likely sites of lite-1 function, the authors generated and examined worms carrying one of four transgenes derived from the wild-type lite-1 locus: a genomic fragment (lite-1 genomic), a transcriptional fusion (lite-1prom::gfp), a C-terminal translational fusion (lite-1prom::lite-1::gfp), and an N-terminal translational fusion (lite-1prom::gfp::lite-1). GFP expression was observed in a total of 29 cells: pharyngeal neurons M1, M4, M5, and MI; non-pharyngeal neurons ASK, ADL, ASI, ASH, AVG, AVB, RIM, ADF, PHA, PHB, and PVT; and non-neuronal cells Hyp3 (hypoderm), AMso (amphid socket cells), and PHso (phasmid socket cells). AVB was observed only with the C-terminal fusion transgene, and RIM and ADF were observed only with the transcriptional fusion transgene. lite-1 expression in AVG and PVT was previously reported.

Neuron class of two neurons that have dual ciliated endings in the amphid sensillum. The endings are in the amphid channel, which is open to the outside. Processes from lateral cell bodies enter the ventral cord via the amphidial commissures and turn anteriorly to enter the nerve ring. The processes of ADF run near the outside surface and posterior face of the ring, in close association with those of AIZ. They meet at the dorsal mid-line and terminate; there is a gap junction at the point or contact. The main synaptic output is to RIA and AIZ; there are also synapses to SMB, AUA and RIR, usually in dyadic combinations with RIA or AIZ. AWB synapses onto ADF in several places, and there are gap junctions to RIH, ADA and AIA.	ADF		WBbt:0005660
