Figure 2. MEC-17 and W06B11.1 are required for acetylation of K40 and contribute to touch sensation in C. elegans.

Figure 2

a–f, Wild-type and mutant adult hermaphrodites were labeled using 6–11 B-1 mAb. Small and large arrows mark axons and cell bodies of TRNs, respectively. Scale bar 10 µm. g, Histogram quantifying touch responses. The error bars represent SEM. Asterisk marks significant difference when compared to K40 transgene mec-12(e1607) (p<0.0001). The following numbers of animals were tested: wild type, 69; mec-12(e1607), 49; mec-17(ok2109), 44; W06B11.1(ok2415), 33; mec-17(ok2109) W06B11.1(ok2415), 140; K40 transgene mec-12(e1607), 84; Q40 transgene mec-12(e1607) 78; R40 transgene mec12(e1607) 75.
