Type | Reporter_gene | |||
Pattern | Epidermal expression of nhr-23 reporter genes can be achieved with as little as 600 bp of sequence upstream of exon I provided that intron I sequences are also included (construct #4281). However, this construct shows additional expression in nuclei of the pharynx and distal 4-6 nuclei of the intestine, two common sites of ectopic expression. | |||
Expression was completely eliminated by removing intron I (construct #4298) and only ectopic (pharynx and intestine) | ||||
Expression was observed when mostly intron I sequences (construct #4282) were used to drive expression. | ||||
Reporter gene constructs that begin at least 1.6 kb upstream of exon I and include all of intron I were consistently expressed in epidermal cells and their precursors. Expression in epidermal cells and precursors was clearly evident by the comma stage of embryogenesis and continued through larval stages. Construct #3306 showed the earliest expression, beginning at about the 50-cell stage in one or two unidentified nuclei. Based on the lineage of epidermal cells, it is possible that these early nuclei are Cpa and Caa; however, authors have been unable to confirm this independently. | ||||
