CA1207 dhc-1(ie28[dhc-1::degron::GFP]) I. A degron::GFP tag was inserted at the 3' end of the endogenous dhc-1 coding sequence via CRISPR/Cas9. This strain can be combined with different TIR1 strains to examine spatial and temporal requirements for dynein, and to serve as a control strain for auxin-inducible degradation (AID).

EU1385 dhc-1(or283ts) Temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal. 100% dead embryos at 25 degrees. Maintain at 15 degrees. Small, posteriorly displaced first mitotic spindle with defective chomosome segregation and cytokinesis.
EU1386 dhc-1(or352ts) Temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal. 100% dead embryos at 25 degrees. Maintain at 15 degrees. Small, posteriorly displaced first mitotic spindle with defective chomosome segregation and cytokinesis.
EU828 dhc-1(or195) I. Homozygous or195 hermaphrodites make 100% dead embryos at 26C. One-cell embryo has a very small but bipolar spindle, severe chromosome segregation defect. Maintain at 15C. Previously called spd-4. 2/06: From Bruce Bowerman: The or195 mutation changes base 10,679 of the cosmid clone T21E12 from a C to a T. This corresponds to dhc-1 cDNA nucleotide 9599 (WS153) , which is the center nucleotide of codon 3200. This codon changes from Serine in N2 to Leucine in or195 (S3200L). Note: this is not the same mutation for or195ts that we reported in Hamill et al, 2002(Dev Cell 3, 673-684). The mutation reported in our paper is not present in this strain. We apologize for the confusion. The pairs dhc-11a,b amplify the mutated fragment in dhc-1(or195). The mutation is near the center of this fragment; a clean (gel purified) DNA prep helps get a good read of it. dhc-11b: 5' aacagacgcacgattgacct 3'. dhc-11a: 5' ctcaaatcaaggaaggagct 3'. PCR conditions: 5 min at 94 degrees C; 30 sec at 94 degrees C; 30 sec at 55 degrees C; 1 min at 72 degrees C. 35 Cycles using Taq polymerase.
HR10 dhc-1(ct42) dpy-5(e61)/unc-11(e47) bli-4(e937) I. Heterozygtes are WT. Hets segregate WT, UncBli and DpyLet. ct42 homozygotes are inviable at all temperatures (recessive non-conditional larval lethal). ct42 is dominant temperature sensitive maternal effect lethal. ct42 hets give more inviable progeny at 25C than at 15C. dch-1 was previously called let-354(ct42).
KR332 dhc-1(h79) dpy-5(e61) unc-13(e450) I; sDp2 (I;f). Animals with the duplication are Unc. Animals which have lost the duplications are DpyUnc and arrest at mid-larval development. Maintain by picking Unc non-Dpy. Previously called let-354(h79).
LP560 dhc-1(cp268[dhc::mNG-C1::3xFlag]) I. FP knock-in. Reference: Heppert JK, et al. 2017 Genetics. In press.
NM1489 dhc-1(js319) I; jsIs37 V. jsIs37 [mec-7p::snb-1::GFP) + lin-15(+)]. Superficially wild-type. snb-1::GFP expression in a subset of mechanosensory neurons; GFP is faint and can only be seen on a compound microscope.May be slightly Unc. dch-1 alias sam-11.
NM2040 dhc-1(js121) I/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III); jsIs37 V. jsIs37 [mec-7p::snb-1::GFP) + lin-15(+)]. snb-1::GFP expression in a subset of mechanosensory neurons; GFP is faint and can only be seen on a compound microscope. Heterozygotes are GFP+ in the pharynx. dhc-1 homozygotes are GFP- and sterile or partially sterile pvuls. Homozygous sterile mutation balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP js121 homozygotes. Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
QR160 dhc-1(vh22) I. Maintain at 15C.  Temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal with defects in embryonic cytokinesis.  Suppressor of the lin-2 Vul phenotype
SV1619 dhc-1(he250[mCherry::dhc-1]) I. This strain carries endogenously tagged dynein heavy chain (mCherry::dhc-1). Reference: Schmidt et al., J Cell Biol. 2017 Sep 4; 216(9): 2777–2793. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201607038
SV1803 dhc-1(he264[eGFP::dhc-1]) I. This strain carries endogenously tagged dynein heavy chain (egfp::dhc-1). Reference: Schmidt et al., J Cell Biol. 2017 Sep 4; 216(9): 2777–2793. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201607038
TBD307 dhc-1(he255[epdz::mCherry::dhc-1]) I; utdSi51 II. utdSi51[mex-5p::tomm-20(aa 1-55)::halotag::lov::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. Maintain at 23C and protect from light. Strain is sickly, seems to grow best and lay more eggs at 23C. Upon stimulation with 488nm light, the LOV-ePDZ optogenetic system will recruit mitochondria to the dynein heavy chain in the worm embryo. Embryonic cell divisions can be stopped by if mitochondrial recruitment is stimulated in early development. Room light can also induce mitochondria re-localization and cause infertility; store this strain in the dark. Reference: Fan X, et al. G3 (accepted).
