Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
EG6787 oxSi487 II; unc-119(ed3) III. oxSi487 [mex-5p::mCherry::H2B::tbb-2 3'UTR::gpd-2 operon::GFP::H2B::cye-1 3'UTR + unc-119(+)] II. MosSCI insertion into ttTi5605 site on Chr II. unc-119 rescue, bright nuclear GFP and nuclear mCherry fluorescence in germline.
EGD175 pie-1(ne4301[pie-1::gfp]) III; mex-5(egx1[F294N & F339N]) IV. pie-1(ne4301) inserted GFP into pie-1 locus tagging endogenous pie-1 with GFP. mex-5(egx1[F294N, F339N]) modifies the endogenous mex-5 locus to disrupt zinc finger motifs. Reference: Han et al, Current Biology 2017.
EGD199 mex-5(egx1[F294N, F339N]) IV. mex-5(egx1[F294N, F339N]) modifies the endogenous mex-5 locus to disrupt zinc finger motifs. Reference: Han et al, Current Biology 2017.
EGD263 egxSi100 II; unc-119(ed3) III; mex-5(egx1[F294N & F339N]) IV. egxSi100 [mex-5p::GFP::pos-1 + unc-119(+)] II. Single-copy transgene expressing GFP::POS-1. mex-5(egx1[F294N, F339N]) modifies the endogenous mex-5 locus to disrupt zinc finger motifs. Reference: Han et al, Current Biology 2017.
EGD282 egxSi100 II; unc-119(ed3) III; mex-5(egx2[T186A]) IV. egxSi100 [mex-5p::GFP::pos-1 + unc-119(+)] II. Single-copy transgene expressing GFP::POS-1 forms a weaker gradient in the cytoplasm of the one-cell zygote than in wild-type. Reference: Han et al, Current Biology 2017.
GW1028 met-2(n4256) set-25(n5021) III; rrrSi192 [mex-5p::GFP::H2B::tbb-2 3'UTR + unc-119(+)] II. Worms are slow growing, with reduced brood size and become sterile at elevated temperatures. met-2 and set-25 mutants co-segregate with ~ 20cM distance. Express GFP::H2B in germline and early embryos. Might still carry unc-119(ed3) in background. Reference: Zeller P, et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Nov;48(11):1385-1395. doi: 10.1038/ng.3672. PMID: 27668659.
JH3188 mex-5(ax2041[3xFLAG::mex-5]) IV. Maintain at 20C. 3xFLAG-tagged MEX-5. Reference: Paix A, et al. Genetics. 2014 Sep 23.
JH3190 mex-5(ax2043[OLLAS::mex-5]) IV. Maintain at 20C. OLLAS-tagged MEX-5. Reference: Paix A, et al. Genetics. 2014 Sep 23.
JJ1238 unc-30(e191) mex-5(zu199) IV/nT1 (IV;V). Heterozygotes are WT. Embryos from unc-30 mex-5 homozygotes produce approximately the WT number of cells but do not undergo body morphogenesis and die without hatching.
JJ1244 mex-6(pk440) II; unc-30(e191) mex-5(zu199) IV/nT1 (IV;V). Heterozygotes are WT. Embryos from mex-6; unc-30 mex-5 homozygotes produce approximately the WT number of cells but do not undergo body morphogenesis and die without hatching.
LP373 mex-5(cp125[mNG-C1^3xFlag::mex-5]) IV. mNG::MEX-5 endogenously tagged using Cas9-triggered homologous recombination. Reference: Dickinson DJ, et al. Dev Cell. 2017 Aug 21;42(4):416-434.e11. (PMID 28829947).
