Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
BC3119 unc-5(e152) unc-22(s7) let-99(s1201) unc-31(e169) IV/nT1 IV; +/nT1 V. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Egl, UncLet (maternal effect lethal) and dead eggs. Maintain by picking WT.
EU1472 let-99(or204) IV; him-5(e1490) V. let-99(or204) is temperature-sensitive, maternal-effect, embryonic-lethal. Nearly completely penetrance of lethality at 26C. Viable at 15C. Maintain at 15C. Reference: Goulding MB, et al. J Cell Biol. 2007 Sep 24;178(7):1177-91.
EU363 let-99(or81) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are Unc.
TH112 let-99(dd17) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). let-99(dd17) contains a 647bp deletion with the flanking sequences aatttttaggaagtttccagaaatttttcc / CAAGGCTCCCACGAAGATTATCGCGATCTA. The deletion removes the N terminus of the open reading frame including the start codon and the DEP domain. Heterozygotes are GFP+ in the pharynx. dd17 is a maternal effect lethal mutation.
TH113 let-99(dd18) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). let-99(dd18) contains a 1039bp deletion with the flanking sequences TTTGGATGAGTTGAAGCATCCCAAGCCCCG / ATGAATGCTCTCTTATTGTTAATCTCCTCT. The deletion starts behind the DEP domain. Heterozygotes are GFP+ in the pharynx. dd18 is a maternal effect lethal mutation.
VC940 let-99(ok1403) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). K08E7.3. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok1403 homozygotes (Mel; adult lays eggs, some hatch into abnormal L1s that arrest). nT1[qIs51] homozygotes inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
