WBPicture0000012459DescriptionMuscle abbreviations: DSP: dorsal spicule protractor; VSP: ventral spicule protractor; DSR: dorsal spicule retractor; VSR: ventral spicule retractor; ADP: anal depressor; GER: gubernacular erector; GRT: gubernacular retractor; AOB: anterior oblique; POB: posterior oblique; SPH: sphincter. (G-J) Expression of Punc-63:YFP in the male tail. Scale bar, 10 um. We fused the 2.4 kb sequence upstream of the unc-63 start codon, including the first three codons, to the YFP gene. We found that this construct was expressed in the body wall muscles, the sexually dimorphic anal depressor muscle and sphincter muscle, and every male-specific sex muscle, including the spicule protractor and retractor muscles, the diagonal muscles, the gubernacular muscles, and the oblique muscles. However, it was also expressed in the SPC neurons where unc-29 was not expressed (G-J).
