Subcellular_localizationIn adult body-wall muscle cells, PAT-4/ILK::YFP colocalizes with a functional PAT-3::CFP integrin subunit in M-lines and dense bodies and at muscle-muscle adherent junctions. PAT-4/ILK::GFP is located near the cell membrane and does not extend very deeply into body-wall muscle cells.
TypeReporter_gene
PatternThe pat-4::gfp transgene is initially expressed weakly throughout postgastrulation embryos. By 420 min postfertilization, PAT-4/ILK::GFP is primarily observed in the body-wall muscle cells, where it colocalizes with the integrin PAT-3 subunit. pat-4::gfp is also transiently expressed in the pharynx during embryogenesis. In adult hermaphrodites, pat-4::gfp expression is observed in body-wall muscle cells, the spermatheca, the vulva muscles, a subset of the mechanosensory neurons (ALM, AVM, PLM, and PVM), the distal tip cells, the uterine muscles, and the anal depressor and anal sphincter muscles.

RemarkImmunostaining experiments using anti-PAT-4/ILK show an identical localization pattern in wild-type embryos and adults.
