rpm-1 Neuronal Expression. (A) Epifluorescence image of a single focal plane and schematic showing cell types that express GFP driven by the
rpm-1 promoter (pSAM1; see Figure 6). Fluorescence is visible in a mechanosensory neuron, several motor neurons, and VNC and sublateral neuropil regions.(B) GFP expression in an
rpm-1(
js317) mutant transformed with full-length RPM-1 tagged with GFP (pSAM3; see Figure 6), and schematic of the C. elegans head. The pSAM3 genomic construct rescues the
rpm-1(
js317) phenotypes and is predicted to reflect subcellular localization of RPM-1. GFP fluorescence is not restricted to nuclei, as it is present in the nerve ring neuropil (arrow), which envelops the pharynx.Scale bars, 10 μm.
