Fig. 6. Ectopic expression of EGL-17 repels CAN cell migrations. (A) Fluorescence images with corresponding schematic diagrams show the GFP expression pattern of the two transgenes, Plim-4::egl-17::gfp and Pmab-5::egl-17::gfp, used to express EGL-17 ectopically. Scale bar: 10 µm. (B) The CAN positions were scored and are displayed as described in Fig. 1. Ectopic expression of EGL-17 in the head from a Plim-4::egl-17::gfp transgene partially rescued vab-8(gm84); egl-17(n1377) CAN migration defects. By contrast, ectopic expression of EGL-17 in the mid-posterior region from a Pmab-5::egl-17::gfp transgene enhanced the CAN migration defects of a vab-8(gm84) background.
