WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr7837

• Pattern: These Psnf-11::GFP fusions are expressed in the same neurons (RMEs, AVL, DVB, RIS, and RID) that stained with the anti-SNF-11 polyclonal antibodies. Expression was also noted in two additional neurons near the pharynx as well as two neurons in the retrovesicular ganglion. There were no apparent differences in expression between the two reporters, suggesting that the 1.9-kb region is sufficient to drive expression in all snf-11 positive cells. In contrast to observations reported previously (Jiang et al., 2005 blue right-pointing triangle), authors did not observe snf-11 expression in the ventral cord inhibitory (DD and VD) motor neurons. However, they did observe robust expression in the body wall, anal, and uterine muscles that was not noted previously. In young animals, expression of the Psnf-11::GFP reporter in muscle cells is the most prominent aspect of the expression pattern.

Longitudinal bands of muscle cells surrounding animal body, with one band running in each quadrant of the body, regulated contraction and relaxation of these muscles cause locomotion.	body wall musculature	body muscle	WBbt:0005813
a single, H-shaped cell which lies just above the anus and connects the roof of the anal canal to the dorsal bodywall; its contractions act to increase the size of the anal opening by lifting the roof of the rectum and hence facilitate expulsion of intestinal contents.	anal depressor muscle	dilator muscle	WBbt:0004292
a saddle-shaped muscle cell that encircles the intestinal-rectal valve	anal sphincter muscle	lineage name: ABprpppppap	WBbt:0005798
muscle lining of the uterine wall.	uterine muscle		WBbt:0005342
Neuron class of one ring motoneuron, projects along dorsal cord, innervates dorsal body muscle.	RID	lineage name: ABalappaapa	WBbt:0003938
Ganglion that lies at the anterior limit of the ventral nerve cord, near the ventral ganglion and nerve ring in the head posterior to the excretory pore. It is open and continuous with the region containing the motoneurons of the ventral cord. In the early L1 this ganglion holds 12 neuron cell bodies plus one neuroblast (Sulston and Horvitz, 1977; White et al., 1986). In the adult animal, the ganglion holds 20 neuron cell bodies.	retrovesicular ganglion		WBbt:0005656
Neuron class of one ring interneuron, cell body in dorsorectal ganglion, inervates rectal muscles.	DVB	lineage name: K.p	WBbt:0004822
