pgEx116 [unc-70::TSmod + myo3p::mCherry]. Pick animals with red fluorescence in body wall muscle to maintain array. The tension sensor module (TSMod) was inserted into the coding sequence of unc-70. TSmod consists of a donor (mTFP) and acceptor (Venus) fluorophore separated by a flexible linker made of 40 residues from the spider-silk flagelliform, which acts as an entropic nanospring suitable for estimating biologically relevant forces. Reference: Krieg M, et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2014 Mar;16(3):224-33.

pgIs22 [unc-70::N-TSmod]. oxIs95 [pdi-2p::unc-70 + myo-2p::GFP]. The tension sensor module control (N-TSMod) was inserted at the N-terminus of unc-70. N-TSmod consists of a donor (mTFP) and acceptor (Venus) fluorophore separated by a flexible linker made of 40 residues from the spider-silk flagelliform, but is placed at the N-terminus of UNC-70 where it is not sensitive to force. pgIs22 was a spontaneous insertion of pgEx157.

sbEx133 [mel-11::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Maintain by picking Rollers.

sbEx136 [(pAW33.1) let-502p::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. pAW33.1 is about 6.6 kb BamH1 fragment from K06G1 and includes the first 12 amino acids of LET-502 clones into pPD95.67/BamH1. Should be nuclear localized, but is not nuclear localized. Maintain by picking Rollers.

quEx102[F25B3.3::SAX-3 + odr-1::RFP]. F25B3.3::SAX-3 partially rescues the lethality and notch phenotype of sax-3(ky123). Maintain by picking RFP+.

quEx100 [ajm-1::sax-3 + odr-1::RFP]. ajm-1::sax-3 partially rescues the lethality of sax-3(ky123). Maintain by picking RFP+.

quEx128 [npr-9::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Maintain by picking Rollers. ZK455.3 is npr-9 and is expressed in AIB neuron.

quEx162 [sax-3p::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick GFP to maintain. Very bright GFP in early embryos (after 24 cell stage). Not all GFP+ worms are rolling.

quEx168 [sax-3::GFP + odr-1::RFP]. Pick RFP+ to maintain. GFP is visible at higher magnification but fades quickly. Strongest GFP is in the head region. The Chin-Sang Lab recommends researchers use this strain instead of IC450, as sax-3::GFP expression in IC699 is more consistent than in the comparable strain IC450.

quEx182 [npr-9(+) + sur-5::GFP + odr-1::RFP]. Maintain by picking GFP+. Rescuing npr genomic fragment co-injected with sur-5::GFP and odr-1::RFP]. transgenic (GFP+) animals tend to wander off the food.
