The immunoglobulin superfamily protein SYG-1 determines the location of specific synapses in C. elegans

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that postsynaptic neurons and muscles are not involved in the clustering of synaptic vesicle in HSNL neuron but is mediated by vulval epithelial cells. The syg-1 encoded SYG-1 immunoglobulin superfamily protein participates in the presynaptic HSNL axon formation. Further, the SYG-1 protein initiates synapse formation and establish synaptic connections in response to the signal from the epithelial cells.

Alternative olfactory neuron fates are specified by the LIM homeobox gene lim-4 (ital)

Article Abstract:

Alternative olfactory neuron fates are discussed based on research of Caenorhabditis elegans. Altered expression of str-2::GFP, a reporter gene usually expressed in one of the two AWB olfactory neurons, it is proposed that the LIM-4 and ODR-7 transcription factors act to diversity C. elegans olfactory neuron roles and to move them from an AWC-position function to others.
