driven fluorophores are differentially expressed in and mutant ciliated neurons.

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) involves the coordinated transport of molecular motors and other proteins and is required for ciliogenesis and ciliary maintenance. The IFT protein OSM-5 /IFT88 is expressed in a majority of the ciliated neurons in the animal, and mutants exhibit structurally defective cilia. The promoter is commonly used to express genetic constructs in the ciliated neurons. In this study, we show that brightness of driven constructs is altered in mutants of the tubulin deglutamylase and the NIMA-related kinase . This raises the possibility that expression levels may be regulated by and .
