Expression of ceh-34::gfp transgene began during embryogenesis. CEH-34::GFP was localized to the nuclei of expressing cells. During embryonic morphogenesis and larval development and throughout adulthood, expression of the ceh-34::gfp transgene was seen predominantly in pharyngeal cells. The ceh-34::gfp transgene was expressed in all pharyngeal neurons (M4, I1, MI, I3, M3, NSM, MC, I2, I4, I5, I6, M1, M2, and M5), some pharyngeal muscle cells (pm1 and pm2) and pharyngeal epithelial cells (e1 and e3), and some body wall muscles around the anterior pharynx. |

CYP33E2 promoter-driven expression of GFP occurred exclusively in the pharynx and, not visible in each individual, in the pharyngeal-intestinal valve of the nematodes. This type of strong pharynx-restricted expression was observed throughout larval development and in adult nematodes. Expression was most prominent in the pharyngeal pro- and meta-corpus. Confocal imaging suggested marginal, muscle, and/or epithelial cells as the major expression sites of the pCYP33E2::GFP construct within the pharynx. Radially, only marginal cell types are continuously organized with three-fold symmetry around the pharyngeal lumen. Imaginary cross sections derived from confocal imaging series of the pro- and meta-corpus indicated that the GFP reporter was expressed in the three marginal mc1 cells, but not in the pm3 and pm4 muscle cells. A further labelling of the mc2 and mc3 marginal cells in the isthmus and terminal bulb becomes then visible. Expression was observed in finger-like fluorescent structures that represent the interlocking extensions that hold marginal cells to muscles. Furthermore, an expression of pCYP33E2::GFP also in the epithelial e1, e2, and e3 cells seems most likely. Fluorescence might also correspond to pm2 muscle cells. |

Examination of the expression pattern of prdx-2 using a rescuing translational reporter (prdx-2prom::prdx-2::mCherry) revealed expression in a broad set of tissues: I2, I4, and intestine (as previously reported; Isermann et al., 2004), as well as muscle (pharyngeal muscle 1, vulval muscle, body wall muscle), epithelial cells (e1, e3), and many neurons in the head and tail. |
