| Pattern | Translational fusions of kqt-3 gene with GFP revealed prominent expression in a variety of C. elegans tissues including intestinal cells, mechanosensory neurons, chemosensory neurons, and other head neurons. The mechanosensitive touch neurons PLM and ALM were clearly labeled by kqt-3::GFP. In addition, a large subset of DiI-positive chemosensory amphid and phasmid neurons consistently labeled with kqt-3::GFP. These identified kqt-3::GFP positive neurons included the amphid neurons ADL, ASI, AWB, and ASH located in the head, and the phasmid neurons PHA and PHB in the tail. An additional DiI-negative neuron in the head labeled consistently with kqt-3::GFP, which were tentatively identified as the chemosensory neuron AWC. Additional unidentified head neurons were labeled by kqt-3::GFP, although expression was not reliably observed in neurons of the ventral or dorsal cord. | ||
