WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4546

• 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: 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.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
