"We visualized GABAergic postsynaptic NMJ structures using a functional GFP-tagged GABA receptor, UNC-49B (Bamber et al., 1999). We observed defects in the pattern of the UNC-49B::GFP marker that correlated with those seen with the SNB::GFP marker in
cle-1 and
nid-1 mutants (Fig. 6). In both
cle-1 mutants the puncta appear enlarged, rounded, and spaced farther apart than normal.
nid-1(
cg119) animals exhibited elongated puncta interspersed with smaller smeary puncta.
nid-1(
cg118) animals have a mix of small puncta and elongated puncta that are spread farther apart."
