Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Pattern  In both males and hermaphrodites, bnc-1 is almost exclusively expressed in VA and VB motorneurons. Weaker expression is also observed in the SABV neuron pair. The protein localizes exclusively to nuclei. bnc-1 expression is initiated around the postembryonic birth of VA and VB MNs at the late first larval (L1) stage and is maintained throughout the life of the animals. A similar expression pattern is observed with successively smaller reporter gene constructs: (1) a fosmid reporter in which bnc-1 is tagged at the C terminus, (2) the aforementioned rescue construct that contains sequences 1.8 kb upstream of the start codon all the way to the stop codon, or (3) a promoter fusion construct that only contains the sequence 1.8 kb upstream of the start codon. Besides VA/VB MNs, bnc-1 is also expressed in the male-specific CP7 MN and CP8 interneuron in the VNC. Primary Identifier  Expr13235
Subcellular Localization  The protein localizes exclusively to nuclei.
