Pick GFP+ heterozygotes to maintain. Segregates fertile GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP homozygous mutants (Gld; form germline tumors), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. gld-1(q361) is a missense allele but phenotypically null, which allows the detection of gld-1 mRNA and protein by single molecule FISH or antibody staining.

CRIPSR-engineered mutation of the lst-1M71 longform start codon (ATG to AT, deletion of G). Reference: Haupt KA, et al. Development. 2019 Oct 17;146(20):dev181644. doi: 10.1242/dev.181644. PMID: 31515205

Maintain at 15C. Heterozygotes are WT, GFP+ in the pharynx and segregate WT (GFP+ in the pharynx), dead eggs (hT2 homozygotes) and non-GFP tra-1(q183) homozygous females. Raise strain at 15C; at 20C many heterozygotes are also feminized. tra-1(q183) is temperature-sensitive for its XX, but not its XO mutant phenotype. At 25C, both q183/q183 and q183/+ are female. At 15C, q183/q183 is still always female, but q183/+ can be hermaphroditic. Maintain by picking fertile GFP worms and checking for correct segregation, since the hT2 balancer is lost at low frequencies.

Pick GFP+ heterozygotes to maintain. Segregates fertile GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP homozygous mutants (Gld; form germline tumors), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Reference: Shin et al. (2017) PLoS Genet. 2017;13(12):e1007121.

qSi369 [sygl-1p::24xMS2 loops::3xflag::sygl-1::sygl1 3'UTR]. qSi370 [mex-5p:: MS2 Coat Protein::linker::sfGFP::tbb-2 3' UTR::gpd-2 intergenic sequence::H2B::mCherry::unc-54 3' UTR]. Superficially wild-type with expression of sfGFP and nuclear mCherry in germline. qSi369 and qSi370 constitute an MS2 system which allows live visualization of sygl-1 nascent transcripts in the C. elegans germline in a glp-1 mutant background. qSi370 can be prone to silencing, especially after severe starvation; silencing of GFP or mCherry expression can occur independently of one another. Maintain by picking animals with bright GFP and mCherry expression. Reference: Lee C, et al. Dev Cell. 2019 Aug 19;50(4):426-435.e4.

Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate wild-type heterozygotes, glp-1(q35) homozygotes (Muv steriles), eT1 homozygotes (Unc-36), and males. glp-1(q35) has a semi-dominant multi-vulva phenotype as well as the loss-of-function Glp phenotype (sterility and embryonic lethality). The q35 mutation is a nonsense mutation that eliminates 122 C-terminal amino acids including a PEST sequence. The C terminus was thought to contain a negative regulatory domain that inactivates glp-1 in the VPCs; the inappropriate glp-1(q35) activity can substitute for lin-12 vulval fate determination.

Worms are fertile at 20C. Improved tethering assay for use in the C. elegans germline. GFP reporter mRNA is under control of a germline-expressed mex-5 promoter and has three boxB stem-loops in its 3'UTR. The RNA-binding protein (RBP) is tagged with lamda-N.
