Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
BS5351 nos-2(ok230) nos-1(gv5)/mIn1 [dpy-10(e128) mIs14] II. Homozygous sterile mutation balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are wild-type with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP, Dpy bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP nos-2 nos-1 homozygotes (segregate many dead embryos). Pick wild-type dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Hansen D, et al. Development. 2004 Jan;131(1):93-104.
JH1463 nos-2(ok230) unc-4(e120)/mnC1 [dpy-10(e128) unc-52(e444)] II. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs and dead eggs. The nos-2(ok230) allele is due to deletion of bases 30999 to 33076 of cosmid ZK1127 (GenBank accession U58758) and also deletes a portion of the him-14 gene (him-14 is in an intron of nos-2).
JH3180 nos-2(ax2033) II. Maintain at 20C. ax2033 was produced by replacing +16 to +42 with TCGACTCTCGAACGATCGTAATAG in the first exon of nos-2. ax2033 mutants are sterile when fed nos-1 dsRNA. Reference: Paix A, et al. Genetics. 2014 Sep 23.
JH3193 nos-2(ax2049[3XFLAG::nos-2]) II. Maintain at 20C. FLAG::NOS-2 can be detected from P4 to Z2/Z3 stage. Reference: Paix A, et al. Genetics. 2014 Sep 23.
