Existence of four acetylcholinesterase genes in the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae 1Accession numbers: ace-1: X75331 (C. elegans), U41846 (C. briggsae); ace-2: AF025378 (C. elegans), AF030037 (C. briggsae); ace-x: AF025379 (C. elegans); ace-y: AF039650 (C. elegans). Sequences of ace-x and ace-y in C. briggsae were released by the GSC (St. Louis, MO, USA) from phosmid G18H21. 1

Article Description

Three genes, ace-1, ace-2 and ace-3, respectively located on chromosomes X, I and II, were reported to encode acetylcholinesterases (AChEs) of classes A, B and C in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We have previously cloned and sequenced ace-1 in the two related species C. elegans and C. briggsae. We report here partial sequences of ace-2 (encoding class B) and of two other ace sequences located in close proximity on chromosome II in C. elegans and C. briggsae. These two sequences are provisionally named ace-x and ace-y, because it is not possible at the moment to establish which of these two genes corresponds to ace-3. Ace-x and ace-y are transcribed in vivo as shown by RT-PCR and they are likely to be included in a single operon.
