Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
CB234 unc-18(e234) X. Severe Unc-paralyzed. Growth good. Lannate resistant.
CB81 unc-18(e81) X. Recessive, paralysed, kinky, thin at all stages, able to lay eggs.
DLW110 wrdSi23 I; unc-18(knu969[unc-18::AID]) X. wrdSi23 [eft-3p::TIR1:F2A:mTagBFP:tbb2 3' UTR:: loxP] I. wrdSi23 is inserted at ttTi4348 (I: -5.32 cM). Pan-somatic expression of TIR1 co-factor for AID, and expression of AID-tagged blue protein in somatic nuclei. Auxin-inducible degradation (AID) tag inserted at C-terminus of endogenous unc-18 locus by CRISPR/Cas9. Can be used for auxin-induced immobilization of worms for live imaging.

DLW114 reSi7 I; unc-18(knu969[unc-18::AID]) X. reSi7 [rgef-1p::TIR1::F2A::mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS::tbb-2 3'UTR] (I:-5.32). Neuronal-specific expression of TIR1 co-factor for AID, and tissue-specific AID-tagged blue protein in neuronal nuclei. Auxin-inducible degradation (AID) tag inserted at C-terminus of endogenous unc-18 locus by CRISPR/Cas9. Can be used for auxin-induced immobilization of worms for live imaging. Strain generated by crossing endogenously tagged unc-104::AID into DV3805. reSi7 is at -5.32 cM.

EG6032 ttTi4348 I; unc-18(md299) X. Unc. MosSCI insertion strain with unc-18 marker instead of unc-119. Mos1 insertion in Chr I. Compatible with mosSCI targeting vectors pCFJ448 (Gateway) and pCFJ676 (MCS).
EM122 stDp2 (X;II)/+ II; him-5(e1490) V; unc-18(e81) dpy-6(e14) X. Strain throws WT, DpyUncs and males (and some Lon-don't know where these come from??). Maintain by picking WT. non-Unc non-Dpy males mate at low frequency and will transmit stDp2.
MT1460 egl-17(e1313) lon-2(e678) unc-18(e81) X. Egl. Lon. Unc.
MT455 lon-2(e678) unc-18(e81) X. Unc. Long.
PJ1030 ccIs55 V; unc-18(e81) X. ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. Unc. Slow growing.
RM299 unc-18(md299) X. Multigenic deletion that removes the promoter and open reading frame of unc-18. Unc.
RW6002 stDp2 (X;II)/+ II; unc-18(e81) X. Segregates WT and Unc. Maintain by picking WT.
VC2835 +/szT1 [lon-2(e678)] I; unc-18(ok3477)/szT1 X. F27D9.1. Homozygous viable deletion chromosome balanced by lon-2-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, Lon-2 males, arrested szT1 aneuploids, and ok3477 homozygotes (Unc). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: GGTGGTCTGACATCGAACCT. External right primer: GGGGCTCTGAAAATGAAACA. Internal left primer: GAATTGCTGAACAAATCGCA. Internal right primer: GGGTTGAAATGAGCAATCATC. Internal WT amplicon: 1331 bp. Deletion size: 371 bp. Deletion left flank: TTACTCTTCAAGCAATGTGCTACGACCTTT. Deletion right flank: CAGTATCAACAAGGAGTTGACAAGTTGTGT. Insertion Sequence: AGACCTT.
