(A) A schematic illustrating the ric-7 gene structure is shown. Deleted regions (bar), point mutations (arrows), and the site utilized for GFP/mCherry tagging are indicated. (B–C) Aldicarb-induced paralysis (B) and locomotion rate (C) are compared for the indicated genotypes. The number of trials (∼20 animals/trial, B) or the number of animals analyzed (C) are indicated for each genotype. For rescue experiments, ric-7 transgenes are indicated as follows: ACh (unc-17 promoter), GABA (unc-25 promoter), pan-neuron (snb-1 promoter), muscle (myo-3 promoter). Values that differ significantly from wild type (**, p<0.001, Student's t-test) and from ric-7 mutants (#, p<0.01; ##, p<0.001, Student's t-test) are indicated. Error bars indicate SEM.
