WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4405

• Pattern: At the beginning of vulva morphogenesis, a strong expression from the plx-1::gfp transcriptional reporter is found in all migrating vulva cells.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4405
• Subcellular Localization: As vulva morphogenesis progresses, expression from the plx-1p::PLX-1::GFP translational reporter increases at the plasma membrane of migrating vulva cell. However, although some signal is found on the entire cell membrane, PLX-1::GFP appears to be predominantly localized on the vulva center facing membrane (future lumen surface) of primordial vulva cells destined to enter the vulva proper. At the end of morphogenesis, PLX-1::GFP is predominantly expressed in the most ventral vulva rings [vulA, vulB1, vulB2, vulC and vulD (which are P5.p and P7.p derived)] and the signal is localized along the lumen formed by these cells.
