Expr2285

Both TU#677 and TU#676 are expressed exclusively in the six touch receptor neurons, as identified by their positions and projections, throughout development, beginning in embryogenesis.

Marker38

Expressed in muscles, not expressed in Y cell.

Expr268

A long transcript mec-9lacZ fusion (TU#165) was expressed only in the 6 touch cells and occasionally in the PVD cells. A fusion specific to the short transcript (TU#160) was expressed in about 25 cells in the head and 50 cells in the ventral cord. Replacing lacZ with the gfp coding region, which permitted visualization of cell processes (in fusion TU#163), showed that the expressing cells were neurons. An integrated line (uIs10) with a mec-9lacZ fusion (TU#171) designed to be expressed in both transcripts was expressed in both sets of cells.

Expr11954

set-2 was nuclear-localized in Y/PDA throughout transdifferentiation.

Expr14177

ASK, ASI, vulval cells, B and Y rectal epithelial cells

Expr11808

A fusion containing 583 bp upstream of the translation start site (TU#276) directed expression to the six touch cells.

Expr11807

A construct containing only 169 bp of upstream sequence (TU#190) shows the normal expression pattern in ALM, AVM, PLM, PVM.

Expr10022

The egl-27 reporter is expressed in the Y cell in the 1.5-fold embryonic stage as well as during the L1 larval stage, which precedes the initiation of Y transdifferentiation.

Expr10878

There is evidence that adr-2 is expressed in the germline (Y. Kohara, personal communication).

Expr2726

Expressed in K and K'. Not expressed in intestino-rectal valve, rectal epithelial cells, U, R, B or Y cells.
