WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr13290

• Pattern: vang-1 is expressed in VNC neurons. VANG-1 (n = 9) was observed to localize to cell membranes and is enriched at contracting cell contacts. In addition, VANG-1 is localized at rosette foci. These localization dynamics resemble that of endogenous myosin II (NMY-2) (Dickinson et al., 2013), which is also found on contracting cell contacts and rosette foci. VANG-1 exhibited approximately 4-fold enrichment at contracting edges versus non-contracting edges and approximately 7-fold enrichment at the rosette center relative to the planar contacts between cells engaged in the rosette.
