PatternpMF1, like the endogenous ceh-13 gene, is first expressed at the onset of gastrulation in the posterior daughters of the intestinal precursor cell E (Ep) and of the AB descendants ABxxx (ABxxxp). During later embryogenesis, CEH-13::GFP is detected in many different tissues and cell types. At the comma stage, for example, it is expressed in the lateral hypodermal cells H2 and V2, in anterior dorsal hypodermal and body wall muscle cells and in cells of the prospective ventral nerve cord (VNC).
RemarkRemoval of the most upstream 1.5-kb HindIII fragment from pMF1 did not affect the expression pattern. The 3.4-kb HindIII fragment (enh3.4) is responsible for a large part of the normal embryonic ceh-13 expression pattern. The 1.2-kb HindIII fragment (enh1.2) is located more proximal to the coding region of pMF1. This fragment appears not to be required for embryonic expression, but drives expression of a GFP reporter gene in larvae and adults, for example, in the male tail.
Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
The enhancer region of ceh-13 contains different regulatory regions that are responsible for various aspects of the developmental expression pattern of this gene.
