Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
XW5399 unc-76(e911) V; qxIs257. qxIs257 [ced-1p::nuc-1::mCherry + unc-76(+)]. Integrated nuc-1::mCherry transgene marking lysosomes in epidermal cells. Site of chromosomal integration unknown. Not known if unc-76(e911) is still present in background. Reference: Li Y, et al. J Cell Biol. 2016 Oct 24;215(2):167-185.
XW8056 unc-76(e911) V; qxIs430. qxIs430 [scav-3::GFP + unc-76(+)]. Integrated GFP translational fusion transgene marking lysosomes in epithelial cells. Not known if unc-76(e911) is still present in background. Reference: Li Y, et al. J Cell Biol. 2016 Oct 24;215(2):167-185.
ZH1963 enIs59 I; unc-76(e911) V. enIs59 [ced-1p::2xFYVE::GFP + unc-76(+)] I. ced-1p::2xFYVE::GFP is a phosphainositol PtdIns(3)P reporter expressed in engulfing cells for assaying cell corpse clearance and other membrane trafficking events. GFP expression from enIs59 is relatively low and causes the least deleterious effects to worm development. Reference: Lu N, et al. PLoS Biol. 2012 Jan;10(1):e1001245. PMID: 22272187
ZH2486 enIs74 II; unc-76(e911) V. enIs74 [mec-7p::GFP + dyn-1p::mfg-e8::mCherry + unc-76(+)] II. mec-7p::GFP labels touch neurons. MFG-E8::mCherry reporter binds exposed phosphatidylserine (PS) “eat me” signal on the surface of apoptotic or necrotic cells, providing a useful marker for identifying apoptotic or necrotic cells.
