TypeReporter_geneTwo-color splicing reporter.
PatternA striking differential splicing pattern was observed with a reporter monitoring alternative exon 16 of unc-16/JIP3 in the ventral nerve cord, which is composed of excitatory cholinergic and inhibitory GABAergic motor neurons. The exon-16-included isoform is expressed in both cholinergic and GABAergic neurons, while the excluded isoform is expressed only in GABAergic neurons, confirmed by coexpressing a codon-optimized enhanced blue fluorescent protein (eBFP) in GABAergic neurons.
