Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
BOX163 erm-1(mib9[erm-1[T544D]]) I. C. elegans Homozygous viable. Modification of endogenous erm-1 locus mimics ERM-1(T544) phosphorylation. Variant affects ERM-1 localization and dynamics. Reduced brood size, increased embryonic and larval lethality. Reference: Ramalho JJ, et al. Development. 2020 Jul 22;147(14):dev188011. PMID: 32586975
BOX165 erm-1(mib10[erm-1[T544A]]) I. C. elegans Homozygous viable. Modification of endogenous erm-1 locus mimics non-phosphorylated ERM-1(T544). Variant affects ERM-1 localization and dynamics. Reduced brood size, increased embryonic and larval lethality. Reference: Ramalho JJ, et al. Development. 2020 Jul 22;147(14):dev188011. PMID: 32586975
BOX188 maph-1.1(mib12[GFP::maph-1.1]) I. C. elegans Endogenous maph-1.1 locus tagged with GFP using CRISPR/Cas9. Animals are homozygous viable and express GFP::maph-1.1 ubiquitously. Reference: Waaijers S, et al. BMC Biol. 2016 Aug 9;14:66. doi: 10.1186/s12915-016-0286-x. PMID: 27506200
BOX213 erm-1(mib15[erm-1::eGFP]) I. C. elegans Endogenous erm-1 locus tagged with eGFP. Homozygous viable, partially functional endogenous erm-1 tag. erm-1::GFP animals have a reduced brood size and incomplete outgrowth of the excretory canal, but show no other developmental or morphological abnormalities.
BOX215 erm-1(mib16[erm-1[T544D]::GFP]) I. C. elegans Homozygous viable. Endogenous erm-1 locus tagged with eGFP and modified to mimic ERM-1(T544) phosphorylation. Variant affects ERM-1 localization and dynamics. Reduced brood size, increased embryonic and larval lethality. eGFP-tagged ERM-1 is not fully functional: animals have a reduced brood size and incomplete outgrowth of the excretory canal, but show no other developmental or morphological abnormalities. The penetrance of intestinal phenotypes is slightly higher than in untagged T544 mutants, presumably owing to a detrimental influence of the COOH-terminal GFP tag. Reference: Ramalho JJ, et al. Development. 2020 Jul 22;147(14):dev188011. PMID: 32586975
BOX218 erm-1(mib19[erm-1[T544A]::GFP]) I. C. elegans Homozygous viable. Endogenous erm-1 locus tagged with eGFP and modified to mimic non-phosphorylated ERM-1(T544). Variant affects ERM-1 localization and dynamics. Reduced brood size, increased embryonic and larval lethality. eGFP-tagged ERM-1 is not fully functional: animals have a reduced brood size and incomplete outgrowth of the excretory canal, but show no other developmental or morphological abnormalities. The penetrance of intestinal phenotypes is slightly higher than in untagged T544 mutants, presumably owing to a detrimental influence of the COOH-terminal GFP tag. Reference: Ramalho JJ, et al. Development. 2020 Jul 22;147(14):dev188011. PMID: 32586975
SUR10 rubSi6 II; rubSi7 IV. C. elegans rubSi6 [eft-3p::scFv(glo)::GFP(smu-1 introns)::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. rubSi7 [eft-3p::24xGCN4::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR]) IV. SunTag system allows visualization of translation throughout development in real-time. This strain expresses a SunTag reporter mRNA (24xGCN4::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR ) and a SunTag antibody (scFv::GFP). In the absence of translation, GFP signal can be observed in the cytoplasm, nuclei and at epithelial apical membranes. At translation sites of the SunTag reporter, clustering of the GFP signal can be observed. Mature GCN4 proteins can be observed as dimmer GFP clusters. rubSi6 was inserted into ttTi5605 and also includes a partial duplication of the transgene (a portion of GFP with smu-1 introns and tbb-2 3’UTR) downstream of the tbb-2 3’UTR in the intact transgene. rubSi7 was inserted into cxTi10816. Reference: van der Salm E, et al. Development. 2025 May 15;152(10):dev204435. doi: 10.1242/dev.204435. PMID: 40260543.
SUR54 wrdSi23 I; rubSi6 II; rubSi8[*rubSi7] IV; ltIs44 V. C. elegans wrdSi23 [eft-3p::TIR1::F2A::mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS::tbb-2 3'UTR] (I:-5.32). rubSi6 [eft-3p::scFv(glo)::GFP(smu-1 introns)::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. rubSi8 [eft-3p::24xGCN4::AID::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR *rubSi7]) IV. ltIs44 [pie-1p::mCherry::PH(PLC1delta1) + unc-119(+)] V. SunTag system allows visualization of translation throughout development in real-time. In the absence of translation, GFP signal can be observed in the cytoplasm, nuclei and at epithelial apical membranes. At translation sites of the SunTag reporter, bright clustering of the GFP signal can be observed. Mature GCN4 proteins can be observed as dimmer GFP clusters in the absence of auxin, but not in the presence of auxin. Bright BFP signal from mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS and TagBFP::H2B can be visible in nuclei in the absence of auxin, in the presence of auxin only dimmer TagBFP::H2B is visible in nuclei. mCherry::PH marks the cell membranes throughout development. rubSi6 was inserted into ttTi5605 and also includes a partial duplication of the transgene (a portion of GFP with smu-1 introns and tbb-2 3’UTR) downstream of the tbb-2 3’UTR in the intact transgene. rubSi8 derived by modification of insertion of an AID tag into rubSi7, which is located in cxTi10816.

GFP signal can be observed in the cytoplasm, nuclei and at epithelial apical membranes. rubSi6 [eft-3p::scfv(glo)::gfp(smu-1 introns)::tbb-2 3’UTR] was inserted into ttTi5605, and also includes a partial duplication of the transgene (a portion of GFP with smu-1 introns and tbb-2 3’UTR) downstream of the tbb-2 3’UTR in the intact transgene.
