Consistent with the ubiquitous expression of sqt-3 throughout the life cycle, the R584 antiserum intensely stains the hypodermal cells and cuticles of all stages. Reactive antigens are first detected in wild-type comma-stage embryos within the hypodermal cells. The signal localizes perinuclearly, presumably in association with the secretory pathway. At the threefold stage, coincident with cuticle secretion, the signal becomes progressively extracellular: by the late pretzel stage, all antigen is detected in alignment with the annular ridges of the embryonic cuticle. |

In larvae and adults, the circumferential filamentous pattern did not persist, but expression was seen in a subset of head and tail socket cells, the vulva, more faintly the uterus, and the rectum. |
GFP expression was observed in the epidermis from the 1.2-fold stage of elongation to the end of embryogenesis. The GFP formed a circumferential filamentous pattern that was spatially and temporally strikingly reminiscent of the circumferential actin microfilament pattern. Indeed, actin staining in a strain expressing the RGA-2::GFP construct showed that the two networks coincide. |

Expressed in body wall muscle cells, pharyngeal muscles, rectal gland cells, vulval and uterine muscles, and a subset of neurons in the head and ventral nerve cord. The expression was first detected in the embryo at the 1.5-fold stage and continued to be expressed until adulthood. In this stage, cells with position corresponding to P cells showed also GFP expression. In order to determine if the expression of GFP was in epidermal lineages, including P cells and their descendants, authors prepared double transgenic lines expressing GFP from promoter 1 of nhr-40 on the background of SU93 line that expresses an AJM::GFP membrane marker. This confirmed the expression of nhr-40::gfp in epidermal precursors P cells and their neuronal progeny within the ventral neuronal cord. However, the GFP was not observed in ventral epidermal cells that originated from P cells. The nhr-40::gfp was not observed in seam cells that are also marked by an AJM::GFP. The muscle pattern of expression was partially lost with truncations of this promoter fragments (-1013 and -682 bp); however, other aspects of expression were retained. |

Reporter genes that begin at -3190, -2021, -1248, and -517 bp upstream of the ATG of this alternate first exon 1 were expressed in body wall muscle cells, neurons in the head, nerve ring, ventral and dorsal nerve cords, neurons, and some epidermal cells in the tail. Weaker expression was also observed in pharyngeal muscles. The expression from promoter 2 started in the embryos at the 1.5-fold stage and was continuous throughout development. Expression from this internal promoter element is observed in vulval cells at the L4 stage and in adult hermaphrodites, including the uterine vulval cells uv1, 2, 3, and surrounding epithelium. |

Clear expression was shown in two of the hypodermal syncytia, hyp4, which surrounds the anterior part of the pharynx, and hyp7, which surrounds the mid-body region of the animal. The earliest detectable GFP expression can be observed in comma stage embryos, where there is abundant expression in the newly generated hyp4 nuclei and, albeit less frequently, in hyp7 nuclei. This expression pattern remains consistent throughout embryonic and larval development up until adulthood. There is faint expression in the hindgut, which most likely represents background expression of the reporter. |

A GFP fusion gene with 7.7 kb of nsy-4 upstream sequence was expressed beginning at the comma stage of embryogenesis and continuing until the adult. At the 2-fold stage of embryogenesis, expression was prominent in the excretory cell and in anterior epidermal cells. At the first larval stage, the nsy-4 reporter transgene was expressed in the excretory cell, in epidermal cells in the head (some or all of hyp 1-6) and tail (some or all of hyp 8-11), and in the P neuro-epidermoblasts, both before and after their ventral migration. Weak nsy-4::GFP expression was detectable in a few neurons. In three appropriate mosaic animals identified at the L1/L2 stage, nsy-4::GFP was observed in the AWC cell body. Expression was not detectable in AWC in older animals. |

In C. elegans males, nph-4::GFP expression in the head was seen in the amphid neurons, the outer labial neurons, and a cell group that could be compatible with the male-specific CEM neurons. In the male tail, nph-4::GFP expression was seen in the lumbar and cloacal ganglia. nph-4 expression in hermaphrodites was found in ciliated amphid neurons, the outer labial neurons, and the phasmid neurons in the tail. Developmental regulation of expression for nph-4::GFP was found to be similar to nph-1, appearing at the 1.5-fold stage and lasting through adulthood. |

The expression of nhr-206 GFP reporter transgenes starts during the comma stage of embryogenesis, and is initially seen in four unidentified cells localized in the head region. By the 2-fold stage, embryonic expression is observed in the pharynx with weaker expression in intestine. This expression pattern continues throughout all larval stages and in adults with pronounced anterior pharyngeal expression. The reporter genes were also strongly expressed in rectal gland cells, the anal sphincter, and in epidermal cells in the tail. Weaker expression was also observed in the vulva and spermatheca. In males, expression was visible in male specific neurons of the tail and rays. |

The large majority of GFP signal, at all stages of development, is in the intestine. The first GFP signal can be detected at the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis; by the 3-fold stage, GFP expression is easily detected in all cells of the gut. Late in embryogenesis, GFP expression can be detected in nine nuclei in the posterior bulb of the pharynx, bracketing the pharyngeal grinder. Both gut and pharynx expression continue throughout the remaining stages of development. On the basis of nuclear position, the nine expressing cells are the two triads of m6 and m7 muscle cells, as well as the immediately posterior triad of marginal cells. |

Animals bearing the transcriptional and translational reporters had similar GFP expression patterns. L1 animals carrying the translation reporter expressed GFP in many neurons, including CANs, DD-type motoneurons and ALMs. Expression in the nervous system began early in comma-stage embryos and peaked in intensity around the 3-fold stage of embryogenesis. Although neuronal expression was much fainter at later larval stages, it persisted in some head and tail neurons through adulthood. Non-neuronal cells that also expressed CRML-1::GFP included the migrating distal tip cells, the pharynx, some vulval epithelial cells, rectal epithelial cells and the excretory canal. |

Expression becomes detectable around the comma stage of embryogenesis and persists through adulthood. Expression in vulval precursor cells is strong and can first be seen in L3. PQN-47::GFP is expressed in seam cells, peaking at L2 and ceasing after the seam cells differentiate in late L4, concurrent with the appearance of alae. The intestine shows variably undetectable to low pqn-47 expression (always less than in the neurons) and gets dimmer as development progresses, especially after L3. The two bulbs of the pharynx, specifically pharyngeal muscle cells pm3-8 (not pm6), are variably bright. Overall expression levels are lower in adults than younger animals, with only some expression in head and tail neurons remaining. Head and nerve ring neurons, pharyngeal cells, ventral nerve cord cells, vulval precursor cells, seam (though interestingly not hyp7), as well as cells in the tail show the strongest pqn-47 expression. Muscle, intestine, the distal tip cells of the gonad, the spermatheca, and a large neuron that may be CAN that is essential for survival but of unknown function near the vulva (also bathed in pseudocoelom fluid, and next to the seam and canal cells), as well as a subset of the ciliated neurons of the head (amphid neurons ASI, ADL, ASK, or AWB) and tail including phasmid cilia PHA and PHB, also express pqn-47. We could not detect expression in the pharyngeal glands as reported for a different promoter pqn-47 fusion construct made as part of a high-throughput analysis of gene expression, although other tissues did show similar patterns. Promoter and translational reporters show pqn-47 expression in numerous somatic cells, including cells uniquely poised to mediate or transmit signal(s) involved in the regulation of molting, some of which have been implicated in molting. For example, many cells expressing PQN-47 have significant exposure to the pseudocoelom, and as such are candidates to transmit or detect endocrine signals; the H-shaped excretory cell and its ducts, which form extensive gap junctions with the hypodermis and lie against the pseudocoelom along the entire body of the worm (Nelson and Riddle, 1984), the head mesodermal cell (hmc) lies in the pseudocoelom up against the (excretory) gland cell and forms gap junctions with them and muscle, and the VPI cells at the juncture of the pharynx and intestine are bathed by the pseudocoelom, as well as the intestine itself. |

Staining embryos with this anti-VAB-7 antibody confirmed that VAB-7 is expressed in posterior muscle and epidermal cells. However, a second phase of VAB-7 expression was discovered in embryonic ventral nerve cord (VNC) neurones, beginning at the 1.5-fold stage. At the threefold stage VAB-7 is expressed in nine neuronal nuclei (seven in the VNC and two nuclei in the head), and in the five most posterior epidermal nuclei, which form the hyp8 to hyp11 cells. VAB-7 is expressed in the seven DB class motoneurones; VAB-7 staining is also seen in two additional head neurones that have not been identified. DB neurones express VAB-7 throughout development. In addition, VAB-7 is expressed continuously in the hypodermal syncitium hyp10, and from the L1 stage in four unidentified neurones in the tail. Finally, at the adult stage, VAB-7 is detected in three VC neurones: VC1, VC2 and VC6. |

Nuclear-localized GFP was seen from the comma-stage embryo through to the mature adult in a variety of cell types. NB. Some variation was found between transgenic lines generated for the same reporter gene fusion clone. GFP was observed in many cells in embryos and from L1 to L3. Neurons in head, tail and ventral nerve cord expressed GFP, DVA particularly strongly in some larvae and adults. Muscle cell nuclei throughout the body contained GFP, with higher levels in the M lineage from the L1. In some L1s, L2s and L3s, GFP expression was observed in the P lineage although this was variable presumably due to mosaicism of the transgenic array. GFP was also seen in the developing vulva and reproductive muscles. Intestinal expression of GFP was present in L3s, L4s and adults, but inconsistently. |

GFP fluorescence in animals carrying the unc-23::gfp construct is found throughout development appearing first at the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis in a few unidentified cells. Expression of the GFP-tagged UNC-23 protein continues during embryogenesis and by the 3-fold stage, it has expanded to include muscle, hypodermal and pharyngeal cells. In adult hermaphrodites GFP fluorescence is expressed in the pharynx, body wall muscle cells, hypodermis, vulva, and H cells, as well as some unidentified neurons and touch cells. In the hypodermis, UNC-23::GFP is distributed throughout the entire tissue including some nuclei and nucleoli, and in addition, is localized in a pattern reminiscent of the intermediate filaments. In body wall muscle cells, UNC-23::GFP is localized to the dense bodies and M lines in a pattern similar to that observed for several proteins including PAT-3/b-integrin, UNC-112, UNC-97/ PINCH, and PAT-4/ILK. |
