ZM11207 twk-40(bln336) III; hpIs860. hpIs860 [twk-40p(short)::eGFP + myo-2p::wCherry]. twk-40 gain-of-function allele. Paralyzed, no backward movement upon head touch.

The presence of hpIs727 in the background leads to specific degradation of TWK-40 from AVA, causing loopy forward and reversal movement compared to twk-40(bln282) alone.
ZM10755 hpIs814. hpIs814 [flp-18p::LoxP::eBFP::Stop::LoxP::TeTx::wCherry + twk-40p(short)::Cre]. Red fluorescence in AVA. Slow forward and backward movement, with reduced reversals.

Red fluorescence in AVA. twk-40(hp834) is a loss-of-function allele. twk-40(hp834) itself is highly loopy and a weak backward coiler. The presence of hpIs814 in the background reduces body bending and speed compared to twk-40(hp834) alone.

Transgenic animals have pharyngeal RFP signal; GFP puncta are visible in AVA soma but not along the VNC; RFP signals along AVA neurite.
ZM11151 hpIs758; hpIs814. hpIs758 [rig-3p::LoxP::eBFP::LoxP::Chrimson::wCherry + twk-40p(short)::Cre + myo-2p::wCherry]. hpIs814 [flp-18p::LoxP::eBFP::Stop::LoxP::TeTx::wCherry + twk-40p(short)::Cre]. RFP positive in AVA soma and neurite along the VNC. Weak pharyngeal RFP. Flat and slow movement without ATR or LED stimulation. Chrimson activation induces loopy reversal but not loopy forward after 5min.
ZM9354 hpIs636. hpIs636 [rig-3p::HisCl1::SL2::mCherry]. mCherry expression in AVA soma and neurites along VNC. Non-specific mCherry expression in gut. HisCl activation leads to reduced forward and reversal activity.
ZM11286 hpIs636; hpEx4479. hpIs636 [rig-3p::HisCl1::SL2::mCherry]. hpEx4479 [npr-4p::snb-1::pHluorin + lin-15(+)]. Pick animals with green fluorescence in VNC to maintain. Synapse exocytosis marker in AVA. Transgenic animals exhibit punctate green fluorescent signals along AVA neurites in the ventral cord, with stronger expression than in a wild-type background. mCherry and HisCl1 expression in AVA soma and neurites. In the presence of histamine, the SNB-1::pHluorin intensity will decrease in neurites.
ZM11284 twk-40(bln336) III; hpEx4479. hpEx4479 [npr-4p::snb-1::pHluorin + lin-15(+)]. Pick animals with green fluorescence in VNC to maintain. twk-40(bln336) is a gain-of-function allele. Paralyzed; no backward movement upon head touch. Synapse exocytosis marker for AVA. Transgenic animals exhibit punctate fluorescent signals along AVA neurites in the ventral cord, with weaker expression than in a wild-type background.
ZM11285 twk-40(hp834) III; hpEx4479. hpEx4479 [npr-4p::snb-1::pHluorin + lin-15(+)]. Pick animals with green fluorescence in VNC to maintain. twk-40(hp834) is a loss-of-function allele. Loopy. Synapse exocytosis marker for AVA. Transgenic animals exhibit punctate fluorescent signals along AVA neurites in the ventral cord, with stronger expression than in a wild-type background.
ZM10806 hpIs824. hpIs824 [flp-18p::LoxP::eBFP::Stop::LoxP::gtACR2::wCherry + twk-40p(short)::Cre]. Red fluorescence in AVA soma and neurites of the VNC. Activation of gtACR2 inhibits both forward and backward movement.

Pick RFP+ (pharynx) to maintain. Transgenic animals are GFP and RFP positive in multiple neurons in the head, but strong RFP signals in AVA neurite. Superficially wild type. Activation of gtACR2 decreases AVA and AVB’s calcium signals. hpEx4081 can be maintained by picking animals with weak pharyngeal RFP signals (seems to be a common artifact of the Cre-LoxP system).
ZM10942 lin-15B&lin-15A(n765) X; hpIs774; hpEx4292. hpIs774 [twk-40p(short)::GCaMP6s::mNeptune]. hpEx4292 [pdf-1p::LoxP::eBFP::LoxP::gtACR2::Cherry + twk-40p(short)::Cre + lin-15(+)].
