bmdSi348 [loxN::rgef-1p::FLP::P2A::H2B::2xmTurq2]; inserted into safe harbor site ttTi4348 in Chr I. bmdSi362 [loxN::rpl-28p::FRT3-LCK::mNG-STOP::FRT3::TIR1(F79G)::2A::PH::2xmKate2]; inserted into safe harbor site ttTi5605 in Chr II. FLP-ON::TIR1 system for AID-tagged protein degradation in neurons. High levels of TIR1(F79G) expression in neurons by rgef-1p::FLP with co-expression of membrane markers. bmdSi362 contains the ubiquitous rpl-28 promoter driving expression of FRT3-LCK::mNG-STOP::FRT3::TIR1(F79G)::2A::PH::2xmKate2 construct dependent upon tissue-specific FLPase. High levels of TIR1(F79G) can be expressed in specific tissue or cell types via FLPase activity, allowing spatiotemporally-targeted degradation of AID-tagged proteins. Reference: Xiao Y, et al.

bmdSi363 [^SEC^ser-2p::mKate2-STOP-STOP-DAMc1::VHH4GFP] I. Pick Rollers to maintain. Wild-type growth. NanoDam toolkit will allows identification of direct genomic targets of TFs as well as chromatin modifiers. In this system, Dam methylase is fused with a binding reagent, an anti-GFP nanobody (vhhGFP4). Thus, genome-wide profiling can be achieved by combining cell type-specific Dam::vhhGFP4 fusion constructs with GFP knock-in alleles.

More resistant to alpha-amanitin than ama-1(m118). Will grow in the presence of 0.5% triton-X 100 with 100 ug/ml amanitin whereas ama-1(m118) will not. DR1099 displays temperature-sensitive defects consistent with defective RNA Pol II function. Sterile at 25C (maternal effect sterile). Fertile at 20C, but produces few viable progeny (~80% eggs that do not hatch). Periodically check for Emb to prevent spontaneously suppressed animals from taking over a population.

Small. Unc.

WT strain which segregates WT, Dpy and DpySteriles (or WT Steriles if grown at 15C.) Maintain by picking WT. dpy-27 animals are mildly Dpy and Egl with protruding vulva. Maternal effect: progeny of dpy-27 homozygotes will be severely Dpy, marginally viable, and their progeny will be more severe Dpy hermaphrodites and WT males. Males are vigorous and mate well. See also WBPaper00002061.

WT phenotype. Segregates WT, homozygous Dpy-10 mIn1 and homozygous Unc-4 hermaphrodites. Recombination in this interval is suppressed, and recombinant animals have not been detected in this stock. This strain was generated by the Genetic Toolkit project, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use: The Genetic Toolkit is funded by the NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) (USA) to Ann M. Rose, David L. Baillie, and Donald L. Riddle. Report all experimental results to Don Riddle. mIn1 pka mC6.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Roller Uncs, and a few Dpy mT1 homozygotes. mT1 is an apparent II;III translocation: small broods, lots of dead eggs, and exhibits pseudolinkage between rol-1 II and unc-71 III. The Roller phenotype of rol-1 expresses late and cannot be scored before adulthood. Pick non-Unc hermaphrodites and check for correct segregation of progeny.

WT phenotype. Segregates WT, sterile Dpy mT1 homozygotes, Unc-4;Dpy-17 and large numbers of arrested aneuploid embryos. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

Dark-bodied, unmarked variant of mIn19mC6) with small broods. Presumably balances let-552 to rol-1 (hermaphrodite stock obtained from outcrossing these males to dpy-10 unc-4 was shown to balance this interval). Isolated from DR1982 as a stock that no longer segregated Dpy-10 animals. Not clear whether this strain is the result of chromosome rearrangement in DR1982, or if DR1982 stock was a mixture of mIn1(+)/mIn[dpy-10] and mIn1(+) homozygotes.

WT gross phenotype, with GFP semi-dominantly expressed in 4-60 cell embyros, pharyngeal muscle and gut. Segregates WT, brighter Dpy GFP mIn1 homozygotes and non-GFP bli-2 unc-4 homozygotes. Pharyngeal and gut GFP is easily seen in a UV dissecting microscope; early embryonic signal requires higher magnification. mIs14 occasionally crosses off mIn1[dpy-10], apparently by double recombination. Pick WT, check for GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. mIs14 is ccEx9747 integrated into mIn1[dpy-10]. This is a three-construct element containing myo-2 and pes-10 promoters and a gut enhancer fused individually to GFP coding sequence.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Lethal Uncs and Roller mIn1 homozygotes. let-552 unc-4 chromosome is well balanced. Rol does not express until late L4/early adult. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny.

T2A::sGFP2(1-10) fused to the C-terminus of endogenous GLH-1. The T2A self-cleaving peptide separates sGFP2(1-10) from GLH-1 post-translationally so that sGFP2(1-10) disperses throughout germ cell nuclei and cytoplasm. sGFP2(1-10) is also maternally loaded into embryos, where it persists through early and mid-embryonic development. Proteins tagged with the 16aa GFP11 or M3 sequence will bind sGFP2(1-10) in the germline and early embryo to emit GFP fluorescence. Broods from DUP223 are similar to wild-type at permissive and restrictive temperatures. Transgene tag was inserted by CRISPR/Cas9 in an N2 background. [NOTE: (04/23/2021) The original stock received by the CGC was found to be carrying a second insertion, clu-1(sam131[GFP(11)::clu-1]. A new stock verified by to be carrying the correct transgene was received from DUP 05/04/2021.] Reference: Goudeau J, et al. Genetics. 2021 Apr; 217(4): iyab014. PMID: 33693628.

Heterozygotes segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, GFP+ Dpy, and sec-5 homozygotes (scrawny, small broods, abnormal gut appearance) sec-5 is homozygous maternal-effect lethal; M+Z- animals produce a few dead L1-L2 stage larvae with Vab defects. Pick GFP+ wild-type to maintain. Based upon phenotype, pk2357 is a strong loss-of-function, but likely not a null allele; molecular lesion produces a premature stop at position 389. Reference: Frische EW, et al. EMBO J. 2007 Dec 12;26(24):5083-92. [NOTE: This strain was previously described as carrying pk2358, but pk2357 is the correct allele. Both pk2357 and pk2358 cause the same nonsense (amber) change.]

Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ (pharynx), and segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, Dpy Sterile GFP+, and non-GFP re242 homozygotes (arrested at L3). nIs189 [myo-2::GFP] integrated in or near qC1. No recombination seen between nIs189 and qC1; fails to complement all markers on qC1.

mTurqoise2 tag with linker sequence inserted into endogenous his-72 locus. mNeonGreen::2xFLAG tag inserted into endogenous yap-1 locus. Ubiquitous yellow fluorescence (488 nm or 514 nm) is cytosolic with modest nuclear signal and strong exclusion from nucleoli, but translocates to nuclei upon disruption of upstream Hippo pathway components. Deficiency of cst-1/2 (Hippo/MST) causes translocation into nuclei of all hypodermal cells, deficiency of wts-1 (Warts/LATS) causes translocation into nuclei of all cell types observed. YAP-1::mNG::2xFLAG may be non-functional, as endogenous tag blocks lethality conferred by deficiency of WTS-1. References: Huynh L, et al.
