WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr9897

• Pattern: When mStrawberry-tagged full-length DYB-1 (DYB-1::mStrawberry) was coexpressed with GFP-tagged full-length SLO-1 (SLO-1::GFP) under the controls of their respective promoters, the two fusion proteins appeared as puncta with colocalization at muscle dense body regions and along the dorsal nerve cord. The two fusion proteins also showed overlapping expression in the nerve ring. We coexpressed mStrawberry-tagged SLO-1 (SLO-1::mStrawberry) and GFP-tagged UNC-2 (UNC-2::GFP) in GABAergic neurons and found that the two fusion proteins colocalized in the ventral nerve cord suggesting that SLO-1 colocalized at presynaptic sites in motoneurons.
• Primary Identifier: Expr9897
• Reporter Gene: [Pslo-1::SLO-1::GFP] translational fusion.
