Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
LB10 nuo-1(ua1)/mnC1 [dpy-10(e128) unc-52(e444)] II. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Paralyzed Uncs and L3 lethals. ua1 is a deletion of the first 3 full exons of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase of complex I in the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
LB127 atp-2(ua2) III; sDp3 (III;f). C. elegans Animals with the duplication are WT. Animals which have lost the duplication arrest at 3rd larval stage with increased life span. ua2 is a deletion of the first 2 exons of atp-2. atp-2 gene encodes for active site subunit of Complex V of mitochondrial respiratory chain, the ATP synthase.
LB128 atp-2(ua2) unc-32(e189)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339)] III. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Dpy(ts) Steriles and Uncs which arrest in the L3 larval stage. ua2 is a deletion of the first 2 exons of atp-2. atp-2 gene encodes for active site subunit of Complex V of mitochondrial respiratory chain, the ATP synthase.
LB138 him-8(e1489) IV; uaDf5/+. C. elegans uaDf5/+ is stable as a heterozygote. The strain does not appear to segregate live animals with uaDf5/uaDf5 or +/+ genotypes. Throws males.
LB21 nuo-1(ua1)/mIn1 [dpy-10(e128) mIs14] II. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT (fluorescent), Dpys (highly fluorescent) and L3 lethals (non-fluorescent). GFP semi-dominantly expressed in 4-60 cell embyros, pharyngeal muscle and gut. Pharyngeal and gut GFP is easily seen in a UV dissecting microscope; early embryonic signal requires higher magnification. mIs14 occasionally crosses off mIn1[dpy-10], apparently by double recombination. mIs14 is ccEx9747 integrated into mIn1[dpy-10]. This is a three-construct element containing myo-2 and pes-10 promoters and a gut enhancer fused individually to GFP coding sequence. Called LB21B.
LB25 nuo-1(ua1) II; unc-119(ed3) III; uaEx25. C. elegans uaEx25 [(p016bA352V) nuo-1(+) + unc-119(+)]. Contains extrachromosomal nuo-1(A352V) in a plasmid derived from pDP#MM016b. Complements both nuo-1(ua1) and unc-119(ed3). Generated via microparticle bombardment, therefore, most likely low-copy expression of the transgene. Low brood size. Short life span. Sensitive to oxidative stress.
LB26 nuo-1(ua1) II; unc-119(ed3) III; uaIs26. C. elegans uaIs26 [(p016bT434M) nuo-1(+) + unc-119(+)]. Carries integration of nuo-1(T434M) in a plasmid derived from pDP#MM016b. Complements both nuo-1(ua1) and unc-119(ed3). Generated via microparticle bombardment, therefore, most likely low-copy expression of transgene. Site of integration unknown. Moderate brood size. Shorter life span. Sensitive to oxidative stress.
LB27 nuo-1(ua1) II; unc-119(ed3) III; uaEx27. C. elegans uaEx27 [(p016bA443F) nuo-1(+) + unc-119(+)]. Contains an extrachromosomal array carrying nuo-1(A443F) in a plasmid derived from pDP#MM016b. Complements both nuo-1(ua1) and unc-119(ed3). Generated via microparticle bombardment, therefore, most likely low-copy expression of transgene. Low brood size. Short life span. Sensitive to oxidative stress.
