250 Expression Patterns

• 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: Expr4796
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
• Pattern: cnx-1 was expressed ubiquitously in every blastomere of the embryos up to the gastrulation stage but expression became gradually restricted to the head and tail regions at the comma stage during embryogenesis. During post-embryonic development, cnx-1 was expressed prominently in the H-shaped excretory cell, in the neurons of head and tail, in the dorsal and ventral nerve cords, and in the spermatheca. cnx-1 expression was also observed in the spicules of the male tail. The two head neurons expressing cnx-1 are ASK and ADL, and two tail neurons are PHA and PHB. Therefore, cnx-1 is expressed in head neurons including ASK and ASI chemosensory neurons and tail neurons including PHA and PHB.

• 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: Expr4204
• Remark: A translational DYF-2::GFP fusion was found to be localized only in cilia of CSN, thus precluding a confirmation of the cellular expression pattern obtained with the transcriptional dyf-2::gfp fusion or any further cell identification.
• Pattern: dyf-2::gfp expression was observed in only a subset of the ciliated sensory neuron (CSN) class in the worm. GFP signal was observed in seven out of twelve neurons of the amphids, including ASH, ASI, ASJ, ASK, ADL (ciliated neurons that fill with the fluorescent dye DiI) plus two hitherto unidentified amphid neurons. In addition, GFP expression was observed in the phasmid CSN and in neurons identified as AQR and PQR (asymmetric CSN in the head and tail, respectively). No or only very occasional GFP signal was detected in other CSN anterior to the nerve ring in the head of the worm.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4546
• Remark: asna-1 has been predicted to be the fourth gene in an operon together with the genes ZK637.2, ZK637.3, and ZK637.4 according to WS160.
• Pattern: An ASNA-1::GFP fusion protein driven by the 430 bp fragment fully rescued asna-1(sv42) and asna-1(ok938). In worms carrying the transgene, like those harboring the longer construct, GFP expression was seen in a restricted set of sensory neurons, in the intestine, and weakly in the hypodermis. Further analysis of the sensory neuron expression revealed that during the L1 and L2 stages, GFP was invariably expressed in ASI, and often also in ASK. In some animals, expression was also seen in ADL; however, in most animals expression was not seen in all three pairs of neurons simultaneously.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4538
• Pattern: Expressed in ASGL/R, ADLL/R (faint).

• Primary Identifier: Expr4511
• Pattern: RGS-3::GFP expression is seen in seven pairs of head sensory neurons (ASH, ADL, AWB, AWC, ASI, ASJ and ASK) as well as PHA and PHB in the tail.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12330
• Remark: A promoter fusion to gfp, daf- 41p::gfp, revealed expression most prominently in anterior and posterior neurons including amphids (e.g. ASE, AWC, ASI, ADL) and phasmid sensory neurons, as well as peripheral neurons and ventral cord motorneurons. We also observed strong expression in body wall muscle and pharynx, as well as occasional expression in vulva, seam and intestine.

• 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: Expr10641
• Pattern: A ser-6::ser-6::gfp transgene is expressed in head neurons, including the AWB, ADL and ASI sensory neurons, posterior ventral cord motor neurons and the intestine.

• Primary Identifier: Expr14200

• 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.
