Synthetic biology relies on standardized biological parts (BioParts), and we aim to identify cell-specific promoters for every class of neuron inC. elegans. Here, we characterize a short BioPart (Pnlp-17, 300 bp) for PVQ-specific expression. Pnlp-17::mScarletshowed bright, persistent, and specific expression in hermaphrodite and male PVQ neurons from multicopy arrays and single-copy insertions starting from the comma stage. We generated standardized Pnlp-17cloning vectors withgfpandmScarletcompatible with single-copy or array expression for PVQ-specific transgene expression or identification. To facilitate gene synthesis, we have incorporated Pnlp-17as a standard BioPart in our online transgene design tool (www.wormbuilder.org/transgenebuilder).
