| Pattern | Analysis of a reporter transgene revealed that act-5 expression is restricted to a small subset of cells within the C. elegans alimentary tract and excretory systems. GFP fluorescence was easily detected within a subset of embryonic, larval, and adult cells in transgenic animals, consistent with previous findings on the act-5 expression pattern. Within larvae and adults, GFP expression occurred within the 20 cells that comprise the adult intestine, and in two sets of three associated cells: one just anterior and one posterior to the intestine. The anterior set corresponds to the middle of three sets of pharyngeal-intestinal valve cells (vpi2), whereas the posterior group of associated cells comprises the rectal epithelial cell (rectD, rect_VL, rect_VR). Finally, the single excretory canal cell, which extends processes along the entire length of the worm, also showed GFP expression. | |||
