Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionplg-1 is defined by a single, autosomal dominant mutation that results in formation of a gelatinous copulatory plug over the vulva by males after mating; analysis of natural isolates of C. elegans indicates that formation of a copulatory plug does not occur in the standard laboratory strain, N2, but does occur in other isolates; in N2, the plg-1 gene, which can encode a protein with similarity to mucin glycoproteins, is disrupted by a gypsy/Ty3 type retrotransposon, Cer1; a stable plg-1 transcript is absent in non-plugging strains such as N2, but a spliced transcript from the gene is present in RNA from adult males of plugging strains; the conserved 5' region of plg-1, when fused to a GFP reporter, directs expression exclusively in males in 12 cells of the vas deferens at the L4 stage prior to the adult molt.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002770
