*Abstract*

Cell fate decisions in the vertebrate nervous system are particularly
complex as the nervous system is composed of a remarkably complex
assemblage of cell types. Although a lot is known about how specific
transcription factors, or Terminal Selectors (TS), specify different
neuronal types by coregulatingneuron-type specific terminal differentiation
genes,much less is understood about the regulatory programs that control
the expression of those neuronal features shared by every neuron,
pan-neuronal features. Addressing this question is key to understanding how
neuronal fate is determined. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model
system, we dissected the cis-regulatory logic of broadly expressed neuronal
genes and also identified those trans-acting factors that regulate them.
Dissectional analysis of cis-regulatory control elements of pan-neuronal
genes shows a piecemeal regulation of gene expression in different neuronal
types as well as redundant elements. We find that TS are also ableto
regulate expression of isolated cis-regulatory modules ofsome pan-neuronal
genes, although in TSmutants full promoters of these genes are not
affected.In summary, pan-neuronal gene-expressioncis-regulatory logic is
redundant and piecemealand contrasts withneuron-specific gene expression
where single TSs can regulate these identity features through a
non-redundant simple coregulation model.
