egl-44 was expressed throughout the Q cell lineage.

Expr13649

SEM-5 localized at the leading edge of Q cells.

At the time when the Q descendants are beginning their migrations in early L1 larvae 4-4.5 hours post-hatching, Pspon-1::gfp expression was observed in posterior body wall muscles cells, but not in the Q cells as determined by the Q-cell specific marker rdvIs1 (Pegl-17::mCherry) (Branda and Stern, 2000; Ou et al., 2010). Pspon- 1::gfp expression was in body wall muscle cells adjacent to the Q neuroblasts, with expression extending posteriorly to the tail, but only a short distance anteriorly.

In support of a role of ARX-2 in Q cell corpse clearance, ARX-2::GFP was recruited onto Q cell corpses at 37 ± 9 min (mean ± SD; n = 20) after Q cell birth, and the ARX-2::GFP rings lasted for 19 ± 9 min (n = 20). The corpse was completely degraded 34 ± 18 min (n = 20) after the disappearance of ARX-2::GFP, which suggests that ARX-2 may function during the engulfment of Q cell corpses but may not be involved in the final degradation inside the phagosome.

smFISH analysis revealed that prkl-1 is expressed in the q neuroblasts.

Expr12190

In Phse-5:GFP lines GFP fluorescence was not detected in Q cells.

Expr11222

egl-46 was only expressed in a subset of the Q cell lineage. Initially, egl-46 was not expressed in the Q neuroblast, and in the Q.a lineage it started to be expressed in the Q.a cell, whereas in the Q.p lineage its expression was restricted to Q.paa and was absent from Q.pap.

Expr12946

Functional full length egl-5::gfp expression was not observed in the Q lineages.

Expr12191

Plon-2:GFP was expressed in hypodermis and intestine cells but not in Q cells.

Expr11168

COR-1::GFP is enriched at the leading edge of the Q cell. Quantitative fluorescence analysis showed that the COR-1::GFP intensity was 1.7-fold as strong in the leading edge of migrating Q cells as in the lagging edge.
