Strain Genotype Species Description
JM1041 ges-1(ca6ca7) V. C. elegans Phenotypically normal except that it does not show ges-1 activity. Mutations (ca6ca7) are presumably misense or nonsense but have not been characterized genetically.
JM124 elt-4(ca16) X. C. elegans No obvious phenotype. Chromosomal deletion beginning from -42 bp to +1196 bps relative to elt-4 ATG (+20bp insert).
JM125 caIs108. C. elegans caIs108 [ges-1p::YFP::actin + unc-119(+)].
JM126 pho-1(ca101ca102) II. C. elegans Partial maternal effect lethal. Lack of PHO-1 acid phosphatase activity on isoelectric focusing gel.
JM130 pho-1(ca101ca102) unc-4(e120)/mnC1 [dpy-10(e128) unc-52(e444)] II. C. elegans Heterozgyotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs, and Unc Pho (slightly slow growing, about 15% shorter than WT and produce about 60% inviable embryos; early broods are less viable than later broods).
JM144 mnDp1 (X;V)/+ V; lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) gob-1(ca17) X. C. elegans Animals with Dp/+ are WT. Animals which have lost the Dp arrest as L1 with Gob (gut-obstructed) phenotype. Animals with Dp/Dp are sterile homozygotes. gob-1(ca17) is a small deletion, removing nine genes between R03A10.4 and H13N06.4 (inclusive) and possibly the seven additional genes F39D8.2 to R03A10.3 and H13N05.6.
JM149 caIs71. C. elegans caIs71[elt-2p::GFP::HIS-2B::unc-54 3'UTR + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers. Expresses nuclear-localized GFP in all intestinal nuclei under control of 5.2 kb elt-2 promoter. GFP is fused to Histone H2B + (fused pie-1 and truncated unc-54 3'-UTR). Transgene was integrated into N2 background by exposure to gamma rays. Reference: Dineen A, et al. Dev Biol. 2018 Mar 15;435(2):150-161. PMID: 29360433
JM311 lem-2(ca19) II. C. elegans Overall healthy but reduced brood size and pharyngeal pumping rate. Synthetic lethal with emr-1(-). ca19 is a Leu to Arg mutation at position 16 of LEM-2, reconstituting a mutation in the American Hutterite Population that causes juvenile cataracts and premature cardiomyopathy.
JM47 ges-1(ca6) V. C. elegans Phenotypically WT. Isoelectric variant of ges-1 intestinal carboxylesterase.
JM69 dpy-5(e61) unc-13(e1091)/szT1 [lon-2(e678)] I; elt-2(ca15)/szT1 X. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Lon males and dead eggs.
JM9 ges-1(ca1) V. C. elegans Phenotypically WT. Isoelectric variant of ges-1 intestinal carboxylesterase.
