Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
TM151 sod-2(sj173) I; daf-2(e1370) III; sod-3(sj134) X. Hypersensitive to Paraquat. Growth arrest under hyperoxia (90% oxygen) at any larval stage. Reference: Honda Y, Tanaka M, Honda S, (2008) Exp Gerontol 43:520-9.
TM185 daf-2(e1370) mev-1(kn1) III. Daf-c. Maintain at 15C. Sensitive to hyperoxia and paraquot, comparable to mev-1(kn1) alone. High mutation rate. Extended lifespan measured after mid-adult stage is similar to daf-2(e1370) alone. High mortality rate in early adults. Reference: Honda Y, Tanaka M, Honda S. Exp Gerontol. 2008 Jun;43(6):520-9.
XE1024 daf-2(e1370) III; oxIs12 X. oxIs12 [unc-47p::GFP] X. GFP expression in GABA neurons. Higher axon regeneration in aged animals. Reference: Byrne AB, et al. Neuron. 2014; 81(3):561-73.
ZM1157 daf-2(e1370) III; juIs1 IV. juIs1 [unc-25p::snb-1::GFP + lin-15(+)] IV. Temperature-sensitive Daf-c. GFP punctae are relatively normal in dauers. Maintain at 15C. Reference: Hung WL, et al. EMBO J. 2013 Jun 12;32(12):1745-60.
ZM4864 daf-2(e1370) III; oxIs22. oxIs22 [unc-49p::unc-49::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Temperature-sensitive Daf-c. GFP punctae are relatively normal in dauers. Maintain at 15C. Reference: Hung WL, et al. EMBO J. 2013 Jun 12;32(12):1745-60.
ZM8561 daf-2(m596) III; hpEx2906. hpEx2906 [myo-2p::RFP + rgef-1p::daf-2]. Transgenic worms dauer easily. Pick RFP+ animals to maintain. [NOTE: (07-14-2015) The genotype of this strain was incorrectly reported as daf-2(e1370), but is in fact daf-2(m596).] References: Hung W, et al. EMBO J. 2013 Jun 12;32(12):1745-60. Hung W, et al.

[NOTE: (07-14-2015) The genotype of this strain was incorrectly reported as daf-2(e1370), but is in fact daf-2(m596).] References: Hung W, et al. EMBO J. 2013 Jun 12;32(12):1745-60. Hung W, et al. Development. 2014 Apr;141(8):1767-79.
ZM8988 daf-2(m596) III; hpEx2908. hpEx2908 [myo-2p::RFP + dpy-30p::daf-2]. Transgenic worms do not dauer. Pick RFP+ animals to maintain.
