TypeReporter_gene
RemarkA 5' region of merely 470 bp (construct pPHA2::GFP-B) or even 158 bp (construct pPHA2::GFP-C) upstream of the pha-2 gene is sufficient to support weak PHA2::GFP expression in some cells of the pharyngeal primordium and some cells of the adult metacorpus, and strong expression in extrapharyngeal head cells, intestinal and rectal cells. However, these two constructs fail to rescue the pha-2 mutant and show no PHA2::GFP expression in the following pharyngeal cells, the pm5 muscles, the I4 interneuron, and the pharyngeal epithelial cells, indicating that expression of pha-2 in pharyngeal cells is essential for rescue.
