Strain Genotype Description
TWH179 hrpr-1(yyz8) I; tmIs905 II; egIs1 IV. tmIs905 [dat-1p::alpha-synuclein(A30P) + ges-1p::DsRed] II. egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]; reportedly maps to LG IV. hrpr-1 also known as hrp-2. yyz8 is a weak loss-of-function allele. Neurodegeneration in ADE neurons. Neurites are shorter in PDE neurons.
TWH283 hrpr-1(yyz8) I; tmIs905 II; egIs1 IV; yyzSi1. tmIs905 [dat-1p::alpha-synuclein(A30P) + ges-1p::DsRed] II. egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]; reportedly maps to LG IV. yyzSi1 [dat-1p::hrpr-1(genomic)::hrpr-1 3'UTR + HygR]. Transgene expression in dopaminergic neurons rescues yyz8 phenotype. hrpr-1 also known as hrp-2.
TWH336 yyzEx42. yyzEx42 [dat-1p::mRuby::T2A::mClover + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick Rollers to maintain. Red and green fluorescence in dopaminergic neurons. Can be used as a control for Ub::mRuby in dopaminergic neurons to analyze UPS activity.
TWH334 yyzEx41. yyzEx41 [dat-1p::UbG76V::mRuby::T2A::mClover + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick Rollers to maintain. Red and green fluorescence in dopaminergic neurons. TWH336 can be used as a control strain.
TWH337 sid-1(pk3321) uIs69 V; yyzEx42. uIs69 [pCFJ90 (myo-2p::mCherry) + unc-119p::sid-1]. yyzEx42 [dat-1p::mRuby::T2A::mClover + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick Rollers to maintain. Red and green fluorescence in dopaminergic neurons. Derived from parental strain TU3401, which has been reported as showing RNAi response in non-neuronal tissues.
TWH335 sid-1(pk3321) uIs69 V; yyzEx41. uIs69 [pCFJ90 (myo-2p::mCherry) + unc-119p::sid-1]. yyzEx41 [dat-1p::UbG76V::mRuby::T2A::mClover + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick Rollers to maintain. Red and green fluorescence in dopaminergic neurons. Red fluorescence in pharynx. Derived from parental strain TU3401, which has been reported as showing RNAi response in non-neuronal tissues.
TWH211 hrpr-1(yyz8) I; sid-1(pk3321) uIs69 V; egIs1. uIs69 [(pCFJ90) myo-2p::mCherry + unc-119p::sid-1]. egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]. hrpr-1 also known as hrp-2. Derived from parental strain TU3401, which has been reported as showing RNAi response in non-neuronal tissues.
ESC825 wrdSi23 rpoa-2(cse772[AID*::GFP::rpoa-2]) I; ieSi11 II; nucl-1(cse770[nucl-1::mKate2]) IV. wrdSi23 [eft-3p::TIR1:F2A:mTagBFP::tbb2 3' UTR:: loxP] I. ieSi11 [syp-3p::EmGFP::syp-3::syp-3 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. Maintain at 16-20C. AID*::GFP tag inserted at N-terminus of endogenous rpoa-2 locus. GFP::SYP-3 expression is readily detected in spermatocytes and oocytes in the germline, and localizes to the interface between paired homologous chromosomes during most of meiotic prophase. mKate2 tag inserted into the C-terminus of endogenous nucl-1 locus. Nucleolar mKate2 expression. This strain can be used for auxin-inducible degradation (AID) of RPOA-2 in somatic tissues.

AID*::GFP tag inserted at the C-terminus of the endogenous rpoa-1 locus. This strain can be used for auxin-inducible degradation (AID) of RPOA-1 and UNC-104 in somatic tissues.
