Figure 6. Tissue-specific expression of the
pat-10/lacZ genes. A fusion gene containing 5' UTS of
pat-10 and lacZ was used to study cellular expression. (A) Staining of body wall muscles, pTNCZ647; (B) pTNCZ292; (C) Expression of anterior part. It was noted that pharyngeal muscle was not stained. (D and E) pTNCZ647, side and top views of the vulva of young adult, respectively. Bar, 50 um. (F and G) Summary of 5' UTS of
pat-10 and body wall-specific expressions. The position of regulatory sequences were shown: D, 1330/hlh-1 recognition; G, GC box; M, MEF2-binding sites, respectively.
