WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr4592

• Pattern: The full-length dyf-5::gfp construct (see Expr4591) showed weak GFP expression in many neurons in the head, including amphid and labial sensory neurons and three pairs of neurons in the tail, including the phasmid sensory neurons. In addition, expression was observed in many cells in the male tail. The dyf-5ex4::gfp fusion construct essentially showed the same dyf-5 expression pattern, albeit stronger and more restricted to the cell bodies. In addition, DYF-5ex4::GFP could be detected in the CAN cells, neurons associated with the excretory canal and in a pair of neurons in the posterior lateral ganglion.
• Primary Identifier: Expr4592
• Subcellular Localization: This DYF-5::GFP fusion could be detected uniformly in axons, cell bodies, and dendrites. In addition, authors observed strong fluorescence at the transition zones, which connect the cilia with the dendrites, and weak fluorescence uniformly in the cilia.

The left and right lateral ganglia lie beside the nerve ring in the head. They each contain about (30) neuron cell bodies and send their neuronal processes into the ring at its posterior margin either laterally or ventrally via the amphid commissures and ventral ganglion, but form no local neuropil separate from the nerve ring. The lateral ganglia are in close contact with the lateral hypodermal cords.	lateral ganglion	lateral ganglia	WBbt:0005105
