Using the
lips-7 transcriptional reporter, co-localisation of
lips-7 and CTBP-1 expression in the putative neuronal or neuronal support cells in which
lips-7 is expressed in the head was not observed. Also, there was no co-localisation of
lips-7 and CTBP-1 expression in neuronal cells located in the nerve ring or along the body, in which CTBP-1 is expressed. Co-localisation of
lips-7 transcription and CTBP-1 expression was observed solely in hypodermal nuclei. Using the
lips-7 translational reporter we observed co-localisation of LIPS-7 and CTBP-1 in a single neuron in the nerve ring and in the hypodermis.
