We confirmed that eat-4 (481 bp sequence located downstream of the translation start site: eat-4p12) (22) and unc-8 (293 bp sequence located ∼197 bp upstream of the translation start site: unc-8Δ7p) were indeed expressed in all six IL1 neurons.

The C+C enhancer (pOK17.21) activates frequent expression in all pharyngeal muscles. the C+C enhancer also activates expression in non-muscle cells in the pharynx. Expression induced by the C+C enhancer was observed in all pharyngeal cell types including gland cells, neurons and marginal cells as well as muscles. These results define C as an organ-specific subelement.
C. elegans MTCH2/ mtch-1 is expressed in the posterior region of the intestine (the main organ for lipid storage in C. elegans), the muscle, and a few selected neurons.
