"we examined the localization of synaptotagmin (SNT-1) in
cle-1 and
nid-1 mutant animals... In wild-type dorsal and ventral nerve cords, SNT-1 is observed as discrete lines along the muscle edges. These lines represent numerous puncta that appear to run together. Along the sublateral nerve cords SNT-1 appears as individual puncta (Fig. 3). In the nerve cords of
cle-1(
cg120) mutant animals, the SNT-1 staining pattern was observed as clusters of larger puncta that are not as tightly associated with the muscle edges. Along the sublateral nerve cords the size of the puncta appeared enlarged in
cle-1(
cg120) relative to wild-type animals."
