Figure 5. RACK-1::GFP expression in GABAergic motor neurons.

Figure 5

Micrographs are of animals harboring an unc-25::rack-1::gfp transgene that expresses a full-length RACK-1::GFP fusion protein specifically in the VD/DD GABAergic motor neurons. A) RACK-1::GFP expression is specific to the VD/DD motor neurons. Arrowheads indicate cell bodies in the ventral nerve cord, and arrows indicate commissural axons. The punctate fluorescence throughout the animal is autofluorescence of the gut. B) RACK-1::GFP accumulated in a VD growth cone in an early L2 animal (arrow). The diagram at the right traces the outline of the growth cone and axon. The scale bars represent 5 µm.
