In wild-type animals, Promflp-19::gfp is expressed by the two BAG neurons, and also by five other paired neurons. ets-5 mutants, however, failed to express Promflp-19::gfp in BAG neurons.
ETS-5 directly regulates the expression of egl-13 in the BAG neurons via conserved binding sites. We crossed the ets-5(tm1734) mutant into the egl-13prom1::mCherry strain and indeed found that BAG expression was affected.
