Strain Genotype Description
LN167 rpn-6.2(rc2[rpn-6.2::GFP]) III. 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. 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.
AT28 kyIs140 I; srf-6(yj13) unc-4(e120) II. kyIs140 [str-2::GFP + lin-15(+)] I. Kinker; can't back up. srf-6 mutants express str-2::GFP in both AWC neurons (2AWC ON phenotype; wild-type phenotype is 1AWC ON): check for this phenotype to avoid reversion of srf-6(yj13). srf-6 mutants were originally identified by binding of an L1-specific antibody in later larval stages (L1-L4).
AT30 kyIs140 I; nsy-1(ok593) unc-4(e120) II. kyIs140 [str-2::GFP + lin-15(+)] I. nsy-1(ky593) has no visible phenotype, but can be tracked by linked Unc-4 phenotype (Kinker, can't back up). str-2::GFP is expressed in both AWC neurons.
YL139 meg-1(vr10) X. Maternal effect sterility at 25 degrees. Can be maintained at 20C. Deletion breakpoints: AGATGCCACATACAAACGCT / CTGGCGGAAGACGATGCAAA Reference: Leacock SW & Reinke V. Genetics. 2008 Jan;178(1):295-306.
MAD63 dqSi1 II; unc-119(ed3) III. dqSi1 [mex-5p::atx-2a(cDNA)::GFP::tbb-2 3’UTR + unc-119(+)] II. Made by injection into strain EG6699; insertion confirmed by sequencing. dqSi1 rescues atx-2(ne4297).

Rollers. Generated in parental strain N2. [NOTE: Low levels of Cre activity can lead to excision of the SEC, causing the strain to lose the Roll phentoype. Pick Rollers to retain full transgene cassette.]
CGC114 mir-61&mir-250(umn25[lox2272 myo-2p::wrmScarlet + lox511I + Lox2272)] V. Derived by CRE-meditated excision of SEC in parental strain CGC113, leaving myo-2p::wrmScarlet.
CGC115 mir-61&mir-250(umn26[lox2272]) V. Derived by CRE-meditated excision of SEC and myo-2p::wrmScarlet in parental strain CGC113, leaving disrupted mir-61&mir-250 loci.

AY131 zcIs4 V; vit-1(ac2) X. zcIs4 [hsp-4::GFP] V. vit-1(ac2) is a dominant allele that causes ER stress. Since vit-1 is expressed only in adult stage, ER stress is induced only in adult stage.
