Fig. 4. The expression patterns observed for dsc-1 transcriptional and translational reporter gfp fusions. (A-C) The pattern of expression observed with a transcriptional gfp reporter. dsc-1 is expressed in four pairs of sensory neurons in the head (A), the PVD neuron (B) and the sphincter muscle (C). (D-F) The pattern of expression observed with a fully functional translational gfp reporter. Expression of a translational fusion of dsc-1 can be detected in the nuclei of the same sensory neurons that express the transcription fusion (D,E); however, by contrast to the transcriptional fusion, the translational fusion is expressed in the intestinal and anal depressor muscles, but not in the sphincter (F). All animals were adults, albeit of different ages and sizes. Scale bar: 10 µm.
