a and b Disrupting malt-1 attenuates Ca2+ responses evoked by 21% O2 in RMG (a) but not URX (b) neurons. The RMG defect can be rescued by expressing malt-1 cDNA in both RMG and URX, using the npr-1 promoter (a). a n = 25 animals (npr-1), n = 35 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 24 animals (npr-1; malt-1; npr-1p::malt-1). b n = 20 animals (npr-1), n = 21 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 13 animals (npr-1; ilc-17.1). Ca2+ responses are reported by YC2.60 cameleon. Lines indicate average speed and shaded regions indicate SEM. n = 20 animals (npr-1), n = 21 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 13 animals (npr-1; ilc-17.1). *P = 0.03, ***P = 0.0003, two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. c and d Null mutations in malt-1 and ilc-17.1 do not show additive phenotypes when either RMG Ca2+ transients (c) or speed responses evoked by 21% O2 are measured (d). Lines indicate average speed and shaded regions indicate SEM. c n = 29 animals (npr-1), n = 25 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 28 animals (npr-1; ilc-17.1), n = 31 animals (npr-1; malt-1; ilc-17.1). d n = 50 animals (npr-1), n = 61 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 67 animals (npr-1; ilc-17.1), n = 52 animals (npr-1; malt-1; ilc-17.1). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. e A transgene expressing malt-1 cDNA from the hsp-16.41 promoter does not rescue malt-1 phenotypes in the absence of heat-shock. Plots show average speed (line) and SEM (shaded regions). n = 35 animals (npr-1), n = 59 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 47 animals (npr-1; malt-1; hsp-16.41p::malt-1). P = 0.14, two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. f Heat-shock-induced cDNA expression in adults restores O2–evoked responses to malt-1 mutants. Plots show average speed (line) and SEM (shaded regions); n = 36 animals (npr-1), n = 48 animals (npr-1; malt-1), n = 33 animals (npr-1; malt-1; hsp-16.41p::malt-1). Plots show average speed (line) and SEM (shaded regions). ***P = 8.77e−06, two-sided Mann-Whitney U test.
