Subcellular_localizationAnti-MAGI-1 antibody detected MAGI-1 localization to puncta along the ventral cord; however, MAGI-1 is expressed in more neurons than just those that express GLR-1, making analysis of colocalization in the ventral cord difficult.
To help restrict the analysis to the GLR-1-expressing neurons, both MAGI-1 isoforms were expressed as mRFP chimeric proteins under the glr-1 promoter; both substantially colocalized with GLR-1.

PatternThe expression of genomic magi-1::gfp and magi-1::rfp chimeric transgenes, which contain 4 kb of upstream sequence and either the complete magi-1 ORF or only the genomic magi-1 long isoform sequences, yielded similar results
The magi-1L:::gfp reporter transgene reflects the expression of the long isoform. Expression of MAGI-1L::GFP was detected in the pharynx, head neurons, ventral cord, and vulva of animals mosaic for the extrachromosomal array. Expression of MAGI-1L::RFP was also detected in the pharynx, intestine, vulval epithelia (L4 stage), and vulval muscle (adult stage) of animals mosaic for the extrachromosomal array.
This antibody labeled both neurons and epithelial junctions in immunofluorescence experiments. Within the hypodermis and intestine, there was a high degree of colocalization between MAGI-1 and DLG-1. The anus and vulva also were labeled in larval and adult animals. Finally, MAGI-1 expression was observed in some neurons in the head, including a subset of the GLR-1::GFP-expressing command interneurons. MAGI-1 is expressed in the backward but not the forward command interneurons; MAGI-1 expression was not detected in any of the mechanosensory neurons. MAGI-1 was detected in the neurons AVA, AVD, and SMD, as well as RMD and RMDV.
