Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
WIN179 wago-4(jog179[PH::3xFlag::GFP::wago-4 *gg620]) II. C. elegans Temperature sensitive: maintenance at 15-20C. Reduced number of progeny at elevated temperatures. PH domain added to the 3xFLAG::GFP-tagged endogenous wago-4 locus in parental strain YY1325. This allele localizes WAGO-4 to the plasma membrane, but de-localization is not complete (some residual germ granule signal is detected).
WIN180 wago-4(jog180[mts::3xFlag::GFP::wago-4 *gg620]) II. C. elegans Temperature sensitive: maintain at 15-20C. Reduced number of progeny and mortal germline phenotype at elevated temperatures. Mitochondria Targeting Sequence (mts) added to the 3xFLAG::GFP-tagged endogenous wago-4 locus localizes tagged WAGO-4 to mitochondria. This allele was introduced into 3xFlag::GFP tagged endogenous wago-4 locus in parental strain YY1325.
WIN253 glh-4(jog16) glh-2(jog49) glh-1(jog50) I. C. elegans Temperature sensitive: maintain at 15-20C. Reduced number of progeny and mortal germline phenotype at elevated temperatures. Engineered mutations of FG repeats in three Vasa like GLH proteins (GLH-1, GLH-2 and GLH-4). glh-1(jog50) is F to A substitution. glh-4(jog16) is F to A substitution. glh-2(jog49) is a deletion of the FG repeats. This strain exhibits a subtle change in germ granule composition while maintaining their architecture. WAGO-4 is mislocalized to the cytoplasm leading to compromised function.
WIN272 wago-4(jog272[3xFLAG::GFP::wago-4(Y611E) *gg620]) II. C. elegans Temperature sensitive: maintain at 15-20C. Reduced number of progeny at elevated temperatures. wago-4(jog272) is an engineered Y611E point mutation predicted to disrupt small RNA binding and exhibits a diffuse cytoplasmic localization. This allele was introduced into 3xFlag::GFP tagged endogenous wago-4 locus in parental strain YY1325.
