Analysis of GABA transmission in <i>ric-7</i> mutants.

Abstract

<p>(A) Intestinal muscle contractions during the defecation motor program (quantified as expulsions/pBoc) were analyzed in the indicated genotypes. (B) Endogenous IPSCs were recorded from adult body wall muscles of the indicated genotypes. Representative traces (left), and summary data (right) are shown. The number of animals analyzed is indicated for each genotype. (C) Representative images (left) and summary data (right) for GFP::SNB-1 (expressed by the <i>unc-25</i> promoter) in dorsal cord axons of the indicated genotypes. The number of animals analyzed is indicated for each genotype. Values that differ significantly from wild type (**, p<0.001, ***, p<0.0001 Students t-test) and from <i>ric-7</i> mutants (#, p<0.05, ##, p<0.001, ###, p<0.0001 Students t-test) are indicated. Error bars indicate SEM. For rescue experiments, <i>ric-7</i> transgenes are as follows: ACh (<i>unc-17</i> promoter), GABA (<i>unc-47</i> promoter), pan-neuron (<i>snb-1</i> promoter), intestine (<i>vha-6</i> promoter).</p
