Function and evolution of Ci-GlyR. (A, B) Effect of gene suppression on larval swimming by morpholino injection into developing eggs. (A) Antisense morpholino disrupts alternating swimming in a similar manner to strychnine. (B) 5-base mismatched control morpholino is without effect on swimming, larvae are capable of normal alternating swimming (Supp. Video 2). (C) The phylogeny of Ci-GlyR compared to other members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand gated chloride channels (Ci-GlyR is indicated in the box). Hs: H. sapiens, Zf: D. rerio (zebrafish), Ci: C intestinalis, Ce: C. elegans, Dm: D. melanogaster, Sp: S. purpuratus (sea urchin).
