Widespread gpa-4 promoter-driven expression during Caenorhabditis elegans development
The gpa-4 promoter-driven expression is described as specific for ASIL and ASIR chemosensory neurons in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , yet this was mostly examined in adult animals. Here we used a recombination-mediated reporter to test the previously used gpa-4 promoter expression. This repo...

Summary: | The
gpa-4
promoter-driven expression is described as specific for ASIL and ASIR chemosensory neurons in the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans
, yet this was mostly examined in adult animals. Here we used a recombination-mediated reporter to test the previously used
gpa-4
promoter expression. This reporter highlights all cells in which the
gpa-4
promoter has been active at one point or another during development. We show that the
gpa-4
promoter is indeed active in ASI, yet to our surprise, this
promoter drives also expression in many other cell types, including the somatic gonad, the seam cells, a subset of tail and head neurons, and muscle cells, demonstrating a widespread activity of this transgenic
gpa-4
promoter during embryonic and post-embryonic development. |
