AX7884 pod-2(syb1772[pod-2::His10]) II; mccc-1(syb1666[mccc-1::His10]) IV; pyc-1(syb1680[pyc-1::His10]) V; pcca-1(syb1626[pcca-1::His10]) X. C. elegans Superficially wild-type. Referred to as MP3-His. Strain can be used to biotinylated carboxylases from worm extracts. AX7884 obtained by crossing parental strains PHX1772 pod-2(syb1772[pod-2::His10]) II, PHX1666 mccc-1(syb1666[mccc-1::His10]) IV, PHX1680 pyc-1(syb1680[pyc-1::His10]) V and PHX1626 pcca-1(syb1626[pcca-1::His10]) X to obtain the quadruple His10-tagged strain. The 5xGlycine(G-linker)-His10 tag is a 45 bp sequence (GGAGGAGGAGGAGGACACCATCACCATCACCACCACCACCACCAC) encoding five glycine as a linker and ten histidine residues was knocked in at the C terminus-just upstream of the termination codon-of each of the four carboxylases.
