Strain Genotype Species Description
BR2742 pept-1(lg601) X. C. elegans Slow postembryonic development. Reduced brood size. Previously known as pep-2. [NOTE: the genotype of this strain was previously incorrectly annotated as lg1601.

Pick mCherry+ animals to maintain. pink-1 translational GFP (C-terminal GFP) fusion generated by cloning the complete pink-1 genomic fragment (3191 bp) with a 6-kb upstream promoter region and into pPD117.01. Reference: Sämann J, et al. J Biol Chem. 2009 Jun 12;284(24):16482-91.
BR5082 shc-1(ok198) I; zIs356 IV. C.elegans zIs356 [daf-16p::daf-16a/b::GFP + rol-6(su1006)] IV. Tumorous germline with degeneration of surrounding extracellular matrix & disrupted gonadal basement membrane. Reference: Qi W, et al. PLoS Genet. 2012;8(8):e1002836. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1002836.
BR5270 byIs161. C. elegans byIs161 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280 + myo-2p::mCherry]. Pan-neuronal over-expression of the F3 pro aggregation fragment of the human Tau protein with K280 deleted (line A). Integration site not mapped. Reference: Fatuouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.
BR5271 byIs162. C. elegans byIs162 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280 I277P I380P + myo-2p::mCherry]. Pan-neuronal over-expression of the F3 pro aggregation fragment of the human Tau protein with K280 deleted and two isoleucines to proline substitutions in the hexapeptide motifs of the repeat region (line A). These mutations abrogate the aggregation, making this strain an anti-aggregation control for BR5270. Reference: Fatuouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.
BR5486 byIs162; bkIs10. C. elegans byIs162 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280(I277P)(I308P) + myo-2p::mCherry]. bkIs10 [aex-3p::h4R1NtauV337M + myo-2p::GFP]. Strain co-expressing the F3(delta)K280 anti-aggregation Tau fragment (with two I to P substitutions) and full-length Tau in all neurons. Red and green fluorescence in the pharynx due to the co-injection markers. The F3/2P fragment is not able to nucleate aggregation of full length Tau. bkIs10 contains an integrated transgene encoding the 1N4R isoforms of human tau with the 337M FTDP-17 mutation. Expression is driven by the pan-neuronal promoter aex-3. Over-expression of this transgene results in a pronounced Unc phenotype. Reference: Fatouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.

Strain co-expressing the F3(delta)K280 pro-aggregation Tau fragment and full-length Tau in all neurons. Worms have severe locomotion defect and slow growth. Red and green fluorescence in the pharynx due to the co-injection markers. bkIs10 contains an integrated transgene encoding the 1N4R isoforms of human tau with the 337M FTDP-17 mutation.
