ets-5 is expressed in the BAG sensory neurons. (A) The transcriptional profile of BAG sensory neurons. Previous transcriptional profiling of BAG neurons identified 850 genes that showed enriched expression in BAG neurons relative to the aggregate of all embryonic cells (Hallem et al. 2011b). The 10 genes whose mRNA transcripts were most highly enriched in BAG neurons are shown on the right.
ets-5 mRNA transcripts showed an enrichment of ~14-fold in BAG neurons. The pie chart is adapted from Hallem et al. (2011b). (B) The intron-exon structure of the
ets-5 gene. Brackets indicate
tm1734,
tm1755, and
tm866 deletion alleles. (C) An
ets-5::mCherry translational reporter shows expression in BAG sensory neurons. Left, DIC image; center, epifluorescence image; right, overlay. Anterior is left; dorsal is up. Arrowheads indicate BAG neurons.
