Expression of lin-48::gfp in the hindgut cells of egl-38(s1775) and egl-38(sy294) mutants is eliminated, although expression in other cell types is maintained.
In wild type animals, lin-48 expressed in K, K', U, F(57% in 4 cells, 26% in 3 cells, 16% in 2 cells, and 1% in one cell). In egl-38(sy294) or egl-38(s1775), 100% of animals has expression in none of these cells.
Expression of lin-48::gfp in the hindgut cells of egl-38(s1775) and egl-38(sy294) mutants is eliminated, although expression in other cell types is maintained.
"We first examined the expression pattern of the socket marker egl-17::GFP in lin-48 (sy548) mutant animals. Ectopic marker-expressing cells are observed in the preanal region (Fig. 4B). Ablation of the left/right pair of Ul/r cells in the early L3 stage is able to eliminate the ectopic marker-expressing cells and the ectopically formed spicule structure (n55)."
