WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr3121

• Pattern: Substantial fluorescence was noted in the 20 intestinal cells of adult and larval stages. During the embryonic development GFP signals were first seen in eggs that are situated in the uterus close to the vulva, representing embryos at the time of gastrulation, approximately 3 h after fertilisation. pPD95.77CeODC-1 promotes a male-specific GFP expression in parts of the reproductive system.
• Primary Identifier: Expr3121
• Remark: The constructs pPD95.77CeODC(2047), pPD95.77CeAdoMet(3720) and pPD95.77CeSPDS(1687) were generated using the same sense primers as above but the anti sense primers 5'-GGA TCC AAT GTC ACG GCA CAT TTG GAG-3' (ODC-AS1), 5'-CCC GGG AAA GTT GGT GGC AGA CGT GGC-39 (AdoMet-AS1) GGA TCC GTT CAT GGC TTT TCG GAG (SPDS-AS1), respectively, that are located within the first 50 bp of the open reading frames. The constructs pPD95.77CeSPDS(1687), pPD95.77CeAdoMet(3720) and pPD95.77CeODC(2047) exhibited the same expression pattern as pPD95.77CeSPDS-1, pPD95.77CeAdoMet-1 or pPD95.77CeODC-1, indicating that the regions downstream of the translational start site do not contain promoter elements that affect the expression pattern of the three genes.

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
