Figure 5. Expression of a
pry-1::gfp reporter construct in the seam cells, the Q cell lineage, and the vulva precursor cells. (A,B) Early L1 larva, 1-2 h after hatching.
pry-1 is expressed at high levels in the seam cells V5 and V6, in the Q neuroblast QL, and in the lateral hypodermal cells P7/8 to P11/12. Faint expression was observed in more anterior seam cells. (C,D) Late L1 larva, ~10 h after hatching.
pry-1 is expressed in the QL.pa daughter cells. Note that overexpression of PRY-1::GFP fusion protein causes anterior localization (near V1.p) of the QL.d. (E,F) Expression of
pry-1 in the vulva precursor (P4-8.p) cells. P5.p and P6.p are shown.
