| Moreover, neither the dgn-1::GFP promoter reporter nor the rescuing DGN-1::GFP fusion show expression in muscle. Plasmid pJJ516 was made by inserting GFP from pPD114.38 into the HindIII site near the end of the dgn-1 coding sequence. The product contains GFP inserted after residue 575 of DGN-1, with the final seven DGN-1 residues at the C terminus. Expression of DGN-1::GFP is identical to that of the dgn-1::GFP promoter reporter, and DGN-1::GFP rescues the sterility of dgn-1(cg121). | Expr4218 | In early (pre-morphological) embryos, dgn-1::GFP expression is evident in many epithelial and neural precursors comprising the outer layer of cells. As elongation begins at comma stage, expression becomes most prominent in several specialized epithelial cells, including pharyngeal e2 and marginal cells, excretory cells, the somatic gonad precursors (SGPs) Z1 and Z4, and rectal epithelial cells. Weaker expression is apparent in hypodermal precursors and neuroblasts along the ventral midline. Pharyngeal expression persists through the L3 larval stage, whereas excretory and rectal cell expression persists throughout development. SGP expression persists in SGP descendants, such as the distal tip cells (DTCs), and increases throughout the gonad during the L4 stage. Variable, generally weak expression is seen throughout larval development in several neurons, although PVP neurons show strong expression throughout development. Transient increased expression occurs in new P cell-derived neurons in the ventral nerve cord in late L1/early L2 stage animals. Variable weak expression is seen in hypodermal cells, principally hyp5 in the head. Preceding the L4/adult molt, expression increases in the vulval epithelium. | ||
| Reporter gene fusion type not specified. | Expr2608 | A 10 kb genomic promoter sequence is also expressed in vulval cells, which may not reflect the natural expression pattern of the ceh-2 gene, as that promoter extends into the next gene upstream. Reporter gene expression under the control of the ceh-2 promoter is detected shortly after formation of the pharynx primordium, and is strongest in elongated embryos and early larvae. 1.6 kb sequence upstream from the start codon drives expression only in the neurons (pTRB201); a fourth exon gfp fusion that includes 4.5 kb of upstream sequence and the large intron within the homeodomain is expressed also in e2 and m2 cells (pTRB202). | ||
| Expr2607 | Earliest expression with the antibody was seen in a small cluster in late-gastrulation embryos. From their position, these cells may be the precursors of the pharyngeal cells that express GFP in the L1 larva. ceh-2 expression was found restricted to eleven cells (fourteen nuclei) of five types in the anterior pharynx (corpus) of larvae and adults: the I3 neuron that lies embedded in the dorsal sector of the pharynx muscle; the pairs of NSM and M3 motoneurons in the left and right subventral sectors; the three m2 muscle cells, each possessing two nuclei resulting from cell fusion during development; and the three e2 epithelial cells with the anterior-most pharynx nuclei. | Antibody staining is nuclear as expected for a transcription factor. | ||
