Subcellular Localization  Bright punctate staining was observed in dendritic (postsynaptic) regions. Clear punctate staining was also observed in presynaptic regions of each neuronal type. For example, in the DA9 motor neuron, bright NLG-1::YFP puncta were present in the ventral postsynaptic domain, and dimmer puncta were present in the dorsal presynaptic region. Puncta were excluded from the synapse-poor region between the cell body and dorsal presynaptic region and from the anterior asynaptic region of the dorsal process. To further study the punctate staining in the presynaptic region, NLG-1::YFP localization was examined in animals expressing the tagged synaptic vesicle protein mCherry::RAB-3 in DA9. In the dorsal axon, NLG-1::YFP puncta partially colocalized with puncta containing mCherry::RAB-3, suggesting that NLG-1::YFP localization is perisynaptic.
