Strain Genotype Species Description
JTL611 hsf-1(ljt3[hsf-1::degron::gfp]) I; ieSi57 II; unc-119(ed3) III. C. elegans ieSi57 [eft-3p::TIR1::mRuby::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. Endogenous hsf-1 tagged with the auxin-inducible-degron and GFP allows depletion of endogenous HSF-1 in the somatic tissues upon auxin treatment. Animals treated with 1mM of auxin when eggs are laid will arrest in L1 or L2 stage. Reference: Edwards SL, et al. Cell Rep. 2021 Aug 31;36(9):109623. PMID2021 Aug 31;36(9):109623. PMID: 34469721
JTL720 haps-1(ljt1) I. C elegans CRISPR-engineered KO strain of haps-1 made by knock-in of tandem stop codons to the first exon of endogenous haps-1 locus. haps-1(C48B6.3) is the C. elegans ortholog of human HAPSTR1. haps-1(ljt1) is superficially wild-type when cultured at 20C, but is hypersensitive to paraquat (redox stress), MLN4924 (neddylation inhibition), and camptothecin (genotoxic stress). Reference: Amici DR, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2022 Jul 5;119(27):e2111262119. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2111262119. PMID: 35776542.
