Lines of transgenic C. elegans that express full-length DKF-1::GFP under control of the dkf-1 gene promoter/enhancer were created as indicated under Experimental Procedures. A, mixed populations of WT and transgenic animals were extracted with SDS-PAGE loading buffer. Proteins were separated by denaturing electrophoresis. Expression of DKF-1 fusion protein was assessed by Western immunoblot analysis as described under Experimental Procedures. Endogenous DKF-1 (81 kDa) as well as DKF-1 GFP fusion protein (107 kDa) are detected by anti-DKF-1 IgGs. DKF-1 GFP is not present in WT animals. B-D, cells enriched in DKF-1 protein were identified by fluorescence microscopy (x600 magnification). B, DKF-1 is expressed prominently in cells associated with the posterior bulb of the pharynx. Nomarski interference images of worms are labeled with N (BN, CN, DN). DKF-1 GFP accumulates in neurons (arrows) in adult animals. Anterior (a) and posterior (p) bulbs of the pharynx are shown in panel BN. B2, cell-specific DKF-1 GFP accumulation is also evident in a lateral view of the posterior pharyngeal bulb (arrow). C, DKF-1 is abundantly expressed in cells positioned near the anterior pharyngeal bulb. Two neurons that selectively express the reporter-dkf-1 gene are marked with arrows. D, fluorescence signals corresponding to DKF-1 GFP emanate from cell bodies, axons, and dendrites of a subset of tail neurons (arrows).
