Expression Pattern :

Pattern  The progeny of injected animals displayed YFP expression in both neuronal and non-neuronal structures, from late embryonic stages to adulthood. Post-embryonic neurons include a few unidentified cells clustered near the nerve ring, some of them projecting dendrites anteriorly like amphid neurons, numerous motoneurons in the ventral nerve cord and, most obviously the six touch receptor neurons (TRNs): ALML/R, PLML/R, AVM and PVM. In addition, the biolistic integration of the reporter construct led to the expression of YFP in the germline, which was expected, from both genetic and molecular data (Gonczy et al., 2001), as well as in hypodermal cells. Using affinity-purified ZYG-8 antibodies, together with anti-acetylated tubulin (AcTub) monoclonal antibodies that preferentially decorate TRN processes it was found that ZYG-8 colocalized with AcTub, indicating that ZYG-8 is present in touch cells and distributed along the length of their neurites. Anti-ZYG-8 antibodies also marked the gonad and other structures that include ventral nerve cords (data not shown). Primary Identifier  Expr10579
