Abstract excerpt
The Caenorhabditis elegans R13A5.9 gene encodes a putative membrane protein with homologs in mammals. When the R13A5.9 protein was fused to different fluorescent proteins, signal was observed in or near synaptic vesicles; thus, we sought to determine whether this gene plays a role in synaptic vesicle formation, function, or exocytosis. R13A5.9 mutant worms exhibited low sensitivity to aldicarb (an...
