Fig. 7. The expression patterns of C46H11.6::gfp and
pat-10::lacZ reporter genes associated with or without CE1
(bs258), and lacZ enhancer assay of CE1
(bs258). (a) Schematic structure and summary of expression patterns of C46H11.6::gfp are shown. (b-g) C46H11.6::gfp reporter plasmids associated with CE1
(bs258) (pC46H11BS1888 and pC46H11BB1439) were expressed in body-wall (d) and vulval muscles (e) and anal depressor muscle (f), and weakly expressed in intestinal cells, whereas C46H11.6::gfp reporter expressions without CE1
(bs258) (pC46H11BB1164 and pC46H11BE1085) were hardly detectable in these somatic tissues (g). (h) Schematic structure and summary of lacZ enhancer assay of CE1
(bs258) are shown. (i and j) The assay vector pPD95HHCE1bs258 was expressed and lacZ-stained in intestinal cells, whereas the control vector pPD95.18 was not expressed in any of tissues on its own. (k) Schematic structure and summary of expression patterns of
pat-10::lacZ are shown (Terami et al., 1999). All reporter constructs of
pat-10::lacZ associated with CE1
(bs258) (pTNCZ7600), with the partial fragment of CE1
(bs258) (pTNCZ1248), and without CE1
(bs258) (pTNCZ647) were expressed in body-wall and vulval muscles and anal depressor muscle. Plus (+) and minus (-) indicate the intensity of reporter gene expressions, respectively. The scale bars represent 50 um.
