"Among the amphid neurons, pF55E10.7::gfp transcriptional fusion construct was expressed in ASE, AFD and AWC, and pR13H7.2::gfp fusion was expressed in ASE, AFD and ASJ in wild-type animals (Fig. 4A,C). But in the
che-1 mutant, the expression of both these genes was lost specifically in ASE neurons (Fig. 4B,D).
gcy-5,
gcy-6 and
gcy-7, which are membrane-spanning guanylate cyclase genes expressed specifically on the left or right side ASE in wild-type animals (Yu et al., 1997) (Fig. 4E,G,I), lost their expression in the
che-1 mutant (Fig. 4F,H,J)."
