25 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr103
• Remark: Other strain-- UL123
• Pattern: This strain exhibits strong expression in the embryo. Expression is first seen in the 50-80 cell embryo and extends through to adulthood. It appears that most of the AB cells in the embryo stain, and what appears to be the cells of the C lineage. Some embryos exhibit staining in the two rows of nuclei that are the E lineage. All embryonic staining is very intense, and it spreads to the cytoplasm giving blue embryos, therefore obscuring the DAPI staining, making it difficult to count the number of cells in the embryos as each component begins expressing. This intense staining fades as the embryo ages, sometimes leaving blue comma stage embryos with no distinct nuclei staining. Hypodermal expression is seen in the 3 fold stage of embryogenesis and in young larvae which most probably are C-derived hyp-7 nuclei. Expression weakens as the worm gets older and is much less frequently expressed in adults. Some adults do show staining in the anterior hypodermal nuclei (hyp-3, hyp-4) and in the anterior hypodermal seam cells, also some nuclei stain in the tail.

• Pattern: Inferred expression. EPIC dataset. http://epic.gs.washington.edu/ Large-scale cellular resolution compendium of gene expression dynamics throughout development. This reporter was inferred to be expressing in this cell or one of its embryonic progenitor cells as described below. To generate a compact description of which cells express a particular reporter irrespective of time, the authors defined a metric "peak expression" for each of the 671 terminal ("leaf") cells born during embryogenesis. For each of these cells, the peak expression is the maximal reporter intensity observed in that cell or any of its ancestors; this has the effect of transposing earlier expression forward in time to the terminal set of cells. This metric allows straightforward comparisons of genes' cellular and lineal expression overlap, even when the expression occurs with different timing and despite differences in the precise time point that curation ended in different movies, at the cost of ignoring the temporal dynamics of expression, a topic that requires separate treatment. For simplicity, the authors use the term "expressing cells" to mean the number of leaf cells (of 671) with peak expression greater than background (2000 intensity units) and at least 10% of the maximum expression in that embryo.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1633
• Pattern: First, pKK52 expression begins at the 28-cell stage in all four granddaughters and 16 great-great granddaughters of the MS and AB founder cells, respectively; this expression continues in many, possibly all, of their descendants until around the time of hatching. Second, expression becomes more pronounced in seam cells about 1 hour after their birth. This seam expression remains strong throughout embryonic and larval development, but becomes slightly reduced in adults. Third, robust expression is also seen in several cells in the head region, at least some of which are cells in the nervous system (neurons and/or support cells), beginning at approximately the comma stage and continuing through adulthood. For simplicity, this component of the expression pattern was referred as nervous system expression, although the precise identity of these cells were not determined.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1634
• Remark: See Expr1633 for pKK52 expression pattern.
• Pattern: pKK41 is expressed in the same groups of cells as the elt-5 translational reporter (pKK52), but the relative expression levels are different. Whereas the elt-5 reporter is strongly expressed in both seam cells and the nervous system during the comma through pretzel stages, the elt-6 reporter is strongly expressed only in the nervous system. Only weak expression of the elt-6 reporter is apparent in seam cells and in the AB and MS descendants during embryogenesis, but the seam expression becomes stronger during larval development. Strong expression of the elt-6 reporter in the nervous system continues throughout larval development.

• Reporter Gene: [ceh-36::gfp] translational fusion. A ceh-36::gfp translational fusion gene was generated by an in-frame insertion of a gfp-coding sequence into the 3' end of the ceh-36-coding sequence flanked by the 2.5 kb 5' upstream and 1.1 kb 3' downstream genomic sequence.
• Pattern: CEH-36::GFP was present in the MI grandmother cell, ABaraappa, but not in the e3D grandmother cell.CEH-36::GFP in the MI grandmother cell became detectable 25 minutes after this cell was generated. We also found that CEH-36::GFP was present in the MI mother cell ABaraappaa but not in the e3D mother cell.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9152
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 4A to 4C.
• Reporter Gene: [ngn-1p::ngn-1-gfp] translational fusion. A translational ngn-1::gfp fusion gene was created by an in-frame insertion of a gfp-coding sequence into the 3' end of the ngn-1-coding sequence flanked by the 12.4 kb 5' upstream and 1.5 kb 3 downstream genomic sequence. Authors integrated this ngn-1::gfp transgene into the C. elegans genome and found that the ngn-1::gfp transgene rescued the MI transformation of ngn-1(n1921) mutants (see Table S1A in the supplementary material), indicating that this ngn-1::gfp is functional.
• Pattern: Developing embryos was found carrying ngn-1::gfp and NGN-1::GFP protein was present in the MI mother cell. By contrast, NGN-1::GFP was not detectable in the e3D mother cell, indicating that expression of ngn-1 is left-right asymmetric within this asymmetric cell lineage.

Authors integrated this hlh-2::gfp transgene into the C. elegans genome and found that hlh-2::gfp rescued the MI transformation as well as the embryonic lethality of hlh-2(n5053) mutants, indicating that hlh-2::gfp is functional.
• Pattern: Authors observed developing embryos carrying hlh-2::gfp and found that HLH-2::GFP was localized asymmetrically: HLH-2::GFP was detectable in the MI mother cell but not in the e3D mother cell.
