| Primary Identifier | Expr15224 | Subcellular Localization | We observed EGL-36::GFP in the subsets of sensory neurons in the head and tail including PHB sensory neurons in the tail but not in the PHA sensory neuron. Confocal laser scanning microscopy shows that EGL-36::GFP is predominantly located at the base of the cilium. The EGL-36::GFP signal can be found in the neuronal cell body, with weak dendrite staining, where they may function in the dendritic excitability. Our microscopy analysis revealed that some of EGL-36::GFP signal was, however, found to overlay with the proximal zone of IFT signal (marked with IFT-140::mCherry), while the majority of EGL-36:: GFP signal was predominantly localized in a compartment, proximal to the ciliary base. This strong EGL-36 staining likely corresponds to the periciliary membrane compartment (PCMC). |
