Expression Pattern :

Pattern  WDR-46::GFP was first visible in late-stage embryos as multiple distinct puncta. In L4 larvae and young adults, WDR-46::GFP fluorescence occurred as puncta in the hypo- dermis and intestine. We also observed WDR-46:: GFP in the body wall muscle, germline, and several cells in the head. Primary Identifier  Expr9922
Subcellular Localization  Overexposed high magnification micrographs of hypodermal nuclei suggested that WDR-46::GFP is highly enriched in a subnuclear structure with the appearance of nucleoli. Hoechst staining confirmed WDR-46::GFP localization in a subnuclear structure of the intestine; similar subnuclear fluorescence was observed in the pharynx. WDR-46::GFP was localized to the large nucleoli of the intestine.

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

  The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. adult Ce WBls:0000041
  The fourth stage larva. At 25 Centigrade, it ranges 40-49.5 hours after fertilization, 26-35.5 hours after hatch. L4 larva Ce WBls:0000038
  The C. elegans life stage spanning 620-800min(hatch) after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. A stage after elongation is over. The last stage of embryogenesis. Also called pre-hatched embryo, late embryo or morphogenetic embryo. fully-elongated embryo Ce WBls:0000021
