RG733 wIs78 IV. wIs78 [SCMp::GFP + ajm-1p::GFP + F58E10 (cosmid) + unc-119(+)] IV. GFP expression in seam cells and adherens junctions. Check periodically for GFP in seam cells to retain robust expression. ajm-1 previously called jam-1. Derived by outcrossing JR1000. It is not know whether the ced-1(e1735) or unc-119(ed4) mutations are still present, as the array rescues both phenotypes. wIs78 males do not mate very well; heterozygotes mate fine.
ST65 ncIs13. ncIs13 [ajm-1::GFP].
SU159 ajm-1(ok160) X; jcEx44. jcEx44 [ajm-1::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Throws Rollers (weak -- some animals appear nearly wild-type) expressing ajm-1::GFP and dead eggs.
SU180 itr-1(jc5) jcIs1 IV. jcIs1 [ajm-1::GFP + unc-29(+) + rol-6(su1006)] IV. itr-1(jc5) is cold sensitive. Progeny of homozygotes reared at 15C exhibit 95% maternal effect lethality, while progeny of homozygotes reared at 20C exhibit 15.2% lethality. Arrested embryos are defective in epithelial morphogenesis. ajm-1 was formerly known as jam-1 (Junction Associated Protein) and "the gene encoding the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody MH27." jcIs1 consists of pJS191, C45D3 and pRF4.

WH171 eff-1(oj55) II; jcIs1 IV. jcIs1 [ajm-1::GFP + unc-29(+) + rol-6(su1006)] IV. Loss of cell fusion in hypodermis (epithelial fusion failures). Viable and fertile as homozygotes. Tail-spike defect in all young larvae, less visible in older larvae and adults. oj55 appears to cause incomplete loss of function, as many cells fuse in postembryonic development. Homozygous males have tail and mating defects. ES=3. Cloned: ORF C26D10.5 encodes a type-I membrane glycoprotein with a single TM domain. ajm-1 was formerly known as jam-1 (Junction Associated Protein) and "the gene encoding the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody MH27." jcIs1 consists of pJS191, C45D3 and pRF4.
