Approximately 5 kb of nmr-1 5' untranslated sequence fused to GFP was used to show expression of nmr-1 in a small subset of neurons.(A and B) A confocal image (A) and schematic representation (B) of a transgenic worm that expressed the nmr-1::GFP promoter fusion. Anterior regions are shown on top and posterior regions on the bottom.(C) A transgenic worm that expressed an N-terminal GFP::NMR-1 fusion protein where GFP was fused immediately after the signal sequence. A punctate pattern of expression was observed in the neural processes of the nerve ring (arrowheads) and ventral cord (arrows), suggesting that the fusion protein was localized to synapses.(D) A transgenic worm that expressed a C-terminal NMR-1::GFP fusion protein. Although difficult to see, no puncta were observed in the processes of either the nerve ring (arrowhead) or ventral cord (arrow). The diffuse distribution of NMR-1::GFP was most evident in the process of the AVD interneuron (asterisk).
