OSM-9 is expressed in the uv1 cells but has no detectable effect on egg-laying behavior. (A) Overlay of fluorescence and bright-field image of an animal carrying a GFP reporter transgene for OSM-9. Bar, 30 μm. (B) osm-9 null mutations do not have any detectable effects on egg-laying behavior. Comparisons (brackets) of double- and triple-mutant combinations of the osm-9 null mutation with null mutations in other C. elegans TRPV subunits or with ocr-2(vs29) show no effect of OSM-9 on egg-laying behavior. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
