nuIs152 [unc-129p::GFP::snb-1 + ttx-3p::mRFP] II.

The origin of this strain is KR1082 via CB51. KR1082 was maintained on plates for a period of approximately two years. After this time, DNA was made and the Tc1 pattern examined. The number of Tc1s found in KR1787 was greater than that found in KR1082. Perhaps as many as 30 additional Tc1s were visible in excess of those normally seen in N2 strains.

Animals with the duplication are Unc. Animals which have lost the duplication are Lethal DpyUnc.

kasIs7 [snb-1p::C9 ubi + myo-2::GFP]. The transgene drives expression of 75 GGGGCC repeats under the control of snb-1 promoter. The repeats are flanked with human C9orf72 intronic sequences. Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34654821/

kasIs9 [snb-1p::(delta)C9 ubi + myo-2::GFP]. The transgene has the snb-1 promoter followed by nanoluciferase sequence and unc-54 3'UTR. Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34654821/

kasIs10 [snb-1p::UAG ubi + myo-2::GFP]. The transgene drives expression of 75 GGGGCC repeats under the control of snb-1 promoter. The repeats are flanked with human C9orf72 intronic sequences, but the upstream CUG is mutated to UAG. Reference: Sonobe Y, et al. Nat Commun. 2021 Oct 15;12(1):6025. doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-26303-x. PMID: 34654821

kasEx277 [ldb-1::RFP + pha-1(+)]. Maintain at 25C to select for array. RFP fused with ldb-1 genomic region (+1,063 to +4,393 bp). Reference: Li Y & Kratsios P. Micropubl Biol. 2021 Sep 14;2021:10.17912/micropub.biology.000453. PMID: 34549172.

Sensitive to heavy metal stress.

Defecation motor program defects (Aex), pale and starved-looking, tends to stay still but not Unc.

Superficially WT. by1-5 strongly suppresses the Egl defect of sel-12 mutants. About 5% of spr-4(by105) I; sel-12(ar171) X double mutants are Egl. This strain may not be used for commercial purposes.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT (fluorescent), Dpys (highly fluorescent) and L3 lethals (non-fluorescent). GFP semi-dominantly expressed in 4-60 cell embyros, pharyngeal muscle and gut. 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. 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. Called LB21B.

sqIs71 [rgef-1p::GFP + rgef-1p::sid-1]. Pan-neuronal expression of sid-1 driven by the rgef-1 promoter. Expression remains neuron-specific until at least Day 10. Animals respond to feeding RNAi against gfp and neuronal genes snb-1 and unc-13. In contrast, animals are resistant to phenotypes induced by feeding RNAi constructs targeting non-neuronal genes pept-1, unc-112, bli-1 and die-1. Reference: Yang Y, et al. Nat Aging 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1038/s43587-023-00548-1. PMID: 38177330.

pkEx170 [gpb-1(+) + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers. Pick Rollers to maintain. NL361 is homozygous for the gpb-1 deletion allele pk44; this results in an L1 arrest if the larvae has maternally derived GPB-1 or in an early embryonic lethality if there is no maternally derived GPB-1 for the developing embryo. This phenotype is rescued by the extrachromosomal transgene which contains the WT gpb-1 gene.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs and L1 lethals. js124 homozygotes arrest as L1 larvae that are very uncoordinated and tend to adopt a coiled position. js124 molecular lesion is an amber mutation at codon 50.
