Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
EU1424 mom-2(or77) V/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). mom-2(or77) is a recessive, non-conditional maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Weak allele of mom-2/Wnt (splice acceptor mutation in last exon (exon6). 8% of mutant embryos lack gut. Heterozygotes are Unc.
EU365 mom-2(or85) V/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). mom-2(or85) is a recessive, non-conditional maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Strong allele; missense mutation near N-terminus: L77P. 85% of mutant embryos lack gut. Heterozygotes are Unc. [NOTE: (08-27-2014) We have been informed that the mutation carried in this strain is the same molecular lesion as or77. We are working to determine if or85 and or77 are in fact the same lesion or if an incorrect genotype was provided for the strain.]
EU367 glp-1(e2141) III; mom-2(or42) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Maintain at 15C. Animals are Unc.
EU384 dpy-11(e1180) mom-2(or42) V/nT1 [let-?(m435)] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Dpys and dead eggs. Dpys segregate only embryonic lethals which lack endoderm and make excess mesoderm with E adopting and MS-like fate. or42 is a recessive maternal-effect lethal.
EU417 mom-2(or33) V/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). mom-2(or33) is a recessive, non-conditional maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Intermediate strength allele; missense mutation near C-terminus: C321Y. 50% of mutant embryos lack gut. Heterozygotes are Unc.
EU423 dpy-5(e61) mom-4(or39)/hT1 I; mom-2(or42) unc-42(e270)/hT1 V. Heterozygotes are WT.
EU855 mom-2(or309) V/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, WT which give only dead eggs, and dead eggs. or309 is a deletion allele: removes exon 4 to 3' end and leave about 100 N-terminal amino acids.
EW75 cwn-2(ok895) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V); dpy-11(e1180) mom-2(or42) V/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. Segregate more WT and GFP+, Dpys, and dead eggs. Dpys give only embryonic lethals.
EW77 lin-44(n1792) I; egl-20(n585) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V); dpy-11(e1180) mom-2(or42) V/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V).
EW79 cwn-1(ok546) II; egl-20(n585) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V); dpy-11(e1180) mom-2(or42) V/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. Segregate more WT and GFP+, Dpys, and dead eggs. Dpys give only embryonic lethals.
HS1680 lin-44(n1792) zdIs5 I; cwn-1(ok546) II; egl-20(n585) cwn-2(ok895) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V); mom-2(ne874) V/nT1. zdIs5 [mec-4p::GFP + lin-15(+)] I. Homozygous nT1[qIs51] are inviable. mec-4::GFP is expressed in touch neurons. Heterozygotes are strong Egl Psa GFP+ and segregate dead eggs and non-GFP Unc Egl Psa that give only dead eggs at 25C.
LP559 mom-2(cp267[mom-2::mNG-C1^3xFlag]) V. FP fusion. Reference: Heppert JK, et al. 2017 Genetics. In press.
VC365 +/nT1 IV; mom-2(ok591)/nT1 V. F38E1.7, F38E1.9. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, arrested nT1 aneuploid progeny, vulvaless nT1 homozygotes, and homozygous ok591 hermaphrodites (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). Pick WT hermaphrodites and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
