15 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
In embryos, HIS-72::GFP can be detected in nuclei at all stages. When fixed nuclei were viewed at high magnification, the most intense HIS-72::GFP and YFP::HIS-72 fluorescence appeared coincident with DAPI-stained DNA at all stages of the cell cycle. For example, mitotic chromosomes coalesce into a characteristic bar-shaped structure at metaphase that displayed high levels of fluorescence. These observations suggest that the tagged H3.3 proteins are incorporated into nucleosomes. To test this possibility in the his-72::gfp strain, authors used a high salt histone extraction method to separate nucleosomes (containing histone octamers) from nonnucleosomal proteins. Extracts from lysed embryonic nuclei were bound to hydroxyapatite and eluted at increasing salt concentrations. Nonnucleosomal proteins are predicted to elute in 0.35 M NaCl, and core histones elute in 2.5 M NaCl. Coomassie blue staining and Western blot analysis using an anti-histone H3 antibody confirmed that C. elegans histones are enriched in the 2.5 M NaCl eluate fractions. The majority of HIS-72::GFP, predicted to be about 42 kDa, stained positively with an anti-GFP antibody in the 2.5 M NaCl eluate fractions, indicating that HIS-72::GFP is incorporated into nucleosomes. The combined results suggest that H3.3 is present in chromatin throughout development.   Expr4221 HIS-72::GFP displayed a similar expression pattern in almost all larval and adult nuclei , except that intestinal nuclei showed only low levels of expression. In crosses where sperm bearing the YFP::his-72 transgene fertilized wild-type oocytes, fluorescence from embryonic expression was detected at the approximately 26-cell stage (embryos with two E blastomeres). Expressed in nuclei.

    Expr10323 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. Quantitative expression data for all cells are located here: ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/murray2012/

    Expr16324   HIS-72 is visible in all somatic nuclei, consistent with Goudeau et al. 2021.
    Expr15557   HIS-72::mTurquoise2 shows chromatin labeling in the germline and all stages of the cell cycle in the early embryo.
    Expr1170064 Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy was performed, including DIC for morphology. Gene expression patterns were summarized in 4 manners: Average over time, Average over time and at different positions along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis, a voxelized representation over time, and on individual cells overlaid from a reference coordinate dataset (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2009.06.014). The analysis was done with a pipeline based on the multi-purpose image analysis software Endrov (https://doi.org/10.1038/nmeth.2478), which further is needed to browse the raw recording data. Thumbnail movies were also generated, using maximum Z projection for the 3D fluorescence channel.

    Expr14551   The granular pattern of HIS-72::GFP expression in the nucleus suggested that HIS-72::GFP was deposited on the chromatin.
    Expr15135 His-72 is expressed ubiquitously in every cell, both in the soma and germ line at every stage of development in both males and hermaphrodites. Expression appears highest in embryos compared to other developmental stages based on GFP signal, consistent with RNA-seq data. However, the HIS-72 signal remaines detectable in all cells throughout development.  
    Expr15139 HIS-72 and HIS-74 are visible on the condensed chromatin in the mitotic, transition, and pachytene zones. The signal of both proteins is depleted from one region of the chromatin in pachytene nuclei, as previously noted for HIS-72 (Ooi et al. 2006). Both proteins are depleted from the X chromosomes in these cells. During diakinesis, both HIS-72 and HIS-74 remain chromatin associated, but there are also high levels of the nonchromatin-associated protein in the nucleoplasm, obscuring the chromosomal GFP signal, as previously shown for HIS-72 (Ooi et al. 2006). The similarities of expression patterns and chroma- tin association suggest that the broad chromosomal incorporation in germ cells is similar for both proteins. HIS-72 and HIS-74 are visible on the condensed chromatin in the mitotic, transition, and pachytene zones.
