PatternThe irk-3 translational fusion was not tolerated by the worms, even at low doses. Hence, a transcriptional fusion was used to assess the extent of irk-3 gene expression. Irk-3 promoter activity was limited to neurons, but it was broadly expressed throughout multiple neuronal subtypes, including sensory neurons and the HSN. It is interesting that irk gene expression was notably absent in muscle and hypodermal cells.
