Comparison of vesicular proteins RAB-3 and UNC-17 with nonvesicular proteins Syntaxin and UNC-18

SAB2-a VC
%RAB-3/Syntaxin2-b % UNC-17/UNC-182-c
wild type 100 100 100
unc-4(e120) 57 60 0
unc-4(wd1) 59 58 0
unc-37(e262) 59 64 0
  • ↵F2-a SAB-containing head sublateral nerve cords also include axonal processes from SAA neurons (White et al., 1986).

  • ↵F2-b  Percentage of Syntaxin-positive SAB-containing processes (45 < n < 147) that have wild-type RAB-3 staining.

  • ↵F2-c  Percentage of UNC-18-positive VC axons (28 ≤ n ≤ 40) and SAB-containing fasicles (45 ≤ n ≤ 147) that have wild-type UNC-17 staining (for scoring, see Fig. 8).
