UNC-9::GFP expessed in B motor neurons requires UNC-7 in AVB for proper localization to AVB:B gap junctions. (A) In wild-type (wt; N2), UNC-9::GFP expressed in B motor neurons (Pacr-5::unc-9::gfp) visualizes puncta in the ventral nerve cord localized near B cell bodies. (B) UNC-9::GFP is expressed more uniformly in the ventral nerve cord in unc-7(e5) animals, and clusters of puncta near B cell bodies are not discernible. (C) In unc-9(fc16), UNC-9::GFP puncta are more widely distributed, but the brightest puncta remain associated with B cell bodies. (D) In unc-9 daf-6 unc-7 animals, Pacr-5::unc-9::gfp is expressed more diffusely in cell bodies (few bright puncta).
