Strain Genotype Species Description
LN130 rcIs31II; ltIs37 IV. C. elegans rcIs31 [pie-1p::GFP::ubiquitin + unc-119] II. ItIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV. GFP::ubiquitin is visible in the germline when worms are grown at 25C. [NOTE: the ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV transgene was previously annotated as itIs37 in this strain. The correct name of the transgene is ltIs37 and not itIs37.] Reference: Al Rawi S, et al. Science. 2011 Nov 25;334(6059):1144-7.
LN151 rcSi1 II; unc-119(ed3) III. C. elegans rcSi1 [mex-5p::rpt-1::mCherry + unc-119(+)] II. RPT-1::mCherry allows visualization of the proteasome in the germline. Reference: Sampuda KL, et al. BMC Cell Biol. 2017 Apr 19;18(1):18.
LN162 ltIs37 IV; avIs116. C. elegans ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV. avIs116 [pie-1p::GFP::ubiquitinAA + unc-119(+)]. GFP::ubiquitinAA is visible in the germline when raised at 25C. GFP::ubiquitinAA is a mutated form of ubiquitin that has a dialanine at the C-terminus instead of the diglycine required for conjugation onto protein substrates. Useful control strain for LN130. [NOTE: the ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV transgene was previously annotated as itIs37 in this strain. The correct name of the transgene is ltIs37 and not itIs37.] Reference: Sampuda KL, et al. BMC Cell Biol. 2017 Apr 19;18(1):18.
LN167 rpn-6.2(rc2[rpn-6.2::GFP]) III. C. elegans RPN-6.2 is a sperm-specific proteasome subunit. CRISPR/Cas9 GFP insertion. Robust RPN-6.2::GFP expression in developing and mature sperm.
LN170 rpn-6.2(rc3[GFP + SEC::rpn-6.2b]) III. C. elegans Roller. Reduced brood size and reduced sperm count. CRISPR/Cas9 GFP insertion at amino acid 216 of RPN-6.2a. Expression of GFP in the spermatogenic germline. The SEC (self excising cassette) contains the stop codon and transcriptional termination signal for GFP as well as a sqt-1(d) allele. Pick rollers to maintain the strain with the SEC. Excision will result in an in frame fusion of GFP at amino acid 216 of RPN-6.2a or amino acid 5 of RPN-6.2b.
