| Pattern | The three mks/mksr transgenes were expressed specifically in most, if not all ciliated cells, including the amphid and phasmid sensory neurons. | Primary Identifier | Expr8531 |
| Remark | Picture: Fig. 2C. | Subcellular Localization | The three GFP-tagged proteins (MKS-1, MKSR-1 and MKSR-2) localized specifically to transition zones at the base of cilia, which are akin to the basal bodies of other species. For each amphid bundle, authors were able to observe up to ~12 transition zones as fluorescent spots near the head of the animal; for the phasmid sensory neurons situated near the tail, two pairs of transition zones could be seen. This localization pattern is equivalent to that observed for the mammalian orthologues except that the latter proteins could also associate with the ciliary axonemes. |
