A muscle-specific transgenic reporter line of the sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis
Open accessAbstract
The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis , has become an attractive new model organism for comparative genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. Over the last few years, many genes have been isolated and their expression patterns studied to gain insight into their function. More recently, functional tools have been developed to manipulate gene function; however, most of these approaches rely on microinjection and are limited to early stages of development. Transgenic lines would significantly enhance the tractability of the system. In particular, the study of gene- or tissue-specific promoters would be most useful. Here we report the stable establishment of a transgenic line using the I-SceI meganuclease system to facilitate integration into the genome. We isolated a 1.6-kb fragment of the regulatory upstream region of the Myosin Heavy Chain1 ( MyHC1 ) gene and found that the transgene is specifically expressed in the retractor and tentacle muscles of Nematostella polyps, faithfully reproducing the expression of the endogenous MyHC1 gene. This demonstrates that the 1.6-kb fragment contains all of the regulatory elements necessary to drive correct expression and suggests that retractor and tentacle muscles in Nematostella are distinct from other myoepithelial cells. The transgene is transmitted through the germline at high frequency, and G 1 transgenic polyps have only one integration site. The relatively high frequency of transgenesis, in combination with gene- or tissue-specific promoters, will foster experimental possibilities for studying in vivo gene functions in gene regulatory networks and developmental processes in the nonbilaterian sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis .

The MHC1 promoter drives expression in muscle cells.
“The first selection marker comprised the coding sequence for mCherry under the control of the myosin heavy chain1 (MHC1) promoter, which drives expression in muscle cells 16 (MHC1-mCherry).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
