Species C. elegans
Genotypeoma-1(spr24[*ne5035]) IV; oma-2(ne5034[AID*::oma-2] neSi101 V.
DescriptionneSi101 [sun-1p::TIR1::mRuby::eft-3 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] IV. GFP reporter inserted into C-terminus of endogenous oma-1 locus. A triple arginine motif upstream of the oma-1 tandem zinc finger domain is mutated to three alanines. AID* degron tag (IAA17) inserted into the endogenous oma-2 locus. When OMA-2 is present, this mutant does not appear to have obvious phenotypes. Auxin-inducible depletion of OMA-2 causes embryonic lethality: animals lay low numbers of nonviable embryos that are often polynucleated and have weak chitin shells.
