Strain Genotype Species Description
CF3649 muIs209. C. elegans muIs209 [myo-3p::kin-19::tagRFP + tph-1p::GFP]. KIN-19::tagRFP aggregates with age in body-wall muscles. Animals have reduced thrashing compared to controls. Generated in N2 background. References: Huang YC, et al. Elife. 2019 May 3;8. pii: e43059. doi: 10.7554/eLife.43059. David DC, et al. PLoS Biol. 2010 Aug 10;8(8):e1000450.
DCD13 uqIs9. C. elegans uqIs9 [myo-2p::rho1::tagRFP + tph-1p::GFP]. RHO-1::tagRFP aggregates in pharyngeal muscles. Animals have impaired pharyngeal pumping. Generated in N2 background. References: Huang YC, et al. Elife. 2019 May 3;8. pii: e43059. doi: 10.7554/eLife.43059.
DCD146 uqIs12 [myo-2p::rho-1::Venus]. C. elegans uqIs12 [myo-2p::rho-1::Venus]. RHO-1::VENUS aggregates in pharyngeal muscles. Generated in N2 background. References: Huang YC, et al. Elife. 2019 May 3;8. pii: e43059. doi: 10.7554/eLife.43059.
DCD179 uqEx37. C. elegans uqEx37 [kin-19p::kin-19::Venus + unc-122p::GFP]. Age-dependent aggregation of KIN-19::Venus in pharynx.
DCD214 uqIs24. C. elegans uqIs24 [myo-2p::tagRFP::pab-1]. Expression of tagRFP::PAB-1 in pharyngeal muscles; assembles into stress granules after heat shock (2 hr at 32C) and forms tagRFP::PAB-1 aggregates with age at 20C. Valuable marker for aging and for studying the aggregation of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains. Reference: Lechler MC, et al. Cell Rep. 2017 Jan 10;18(2):454-467.
DCD23 uqIs5. C. elegans uqIs5 [lbp-2p::lbp-2::TagRFP]. Age-dependent aggregation of LBP-2::TagRFP in the pseudocoelom. Reference: Gallotta I, et al. Nature. 2020 Jul 8. doi: 10.1038/s41586-020-2461-z.
NP717 arIs37 I; unc-119(ed3) III; cdls32. C.elegans arIs37 [myo-3p::ssGFP + dpy-20(+)] I. cdIs32 [unc-122p::DT-A(E148D) + myo-2p::GFP + unc-119(+)]. A diphtheria toxin A fragment DT-A (E148D) is expressed under a coelomocyte-specific promoter leading to the absence of coelomocytes. Worms are slightly uncoordinated, slightly dumpy and slow growing. References: Fares H & Greenwald I. Genetics. 2001 Sep;159(1):133-45. doi: 10.1093/genetics/159.1.133. PMID: 11560892. Schwartz MS, et al. PLoS One. 2010 Mar 5;5(3):e9564. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0009564. PMID: 20221439.
