An integrated data resource for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  PTRN-1::GFP expressed from its endogenous promoter (Pptrn-1) localized in multiple tissues, including the larval/adult epidermis, neurons, intestine, and pharynx. PTRN-1 is not expressed in the germ line. PTRN-1::GFP was observed in stretches as well as puncta in the body syncytium. PTRN-1::GFP was also observed in puncta within the seam cells, but did not accumulate along the seam cell junctions. In double label images of NOCA-1d::GFP or PTRN- 1::GFP with tagRFP::beta-tubulin many puncta of both proteins were observed coincident with the microtubule bundles in the body epidermis. Primary Identifier  Expr12457
Subcellular Localization  Puncta of GFP::PTRN-1 and GFP::DmPatronin (from insect cells) were observed at the leading end of gliding microtubules, indicating binding to minus ends.

Definition Name Synonym Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages. intestine gut WBbt:0005772
