n2515 suppresses the let-60(gf) Muv phenotype. Isolation of lin-1 causes no significant vulval defect; it is a missense mutation that changes Proline 384 to Leucine. dpy-13 is a linked marker.

Gain-of-function allele: modified ligand binding domain constitutively binds HZA element. High zinc transcriptional activation - constitutive (Zad-c). [NOTE: this strain was previously described as hizr-1(am286); the correct allele name hizr-1(am285).] Reference: Warnhoff K, et al. PLoS Biol. 2017 Jan 17;15(1):e2000094.

Homozygous maternal effect lethal mutation balanced by GFP-marked translocation.

Pick wild-type GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. 3xFLAG epitope allows antibody detection of full-length PCN-1. Reference: Kocsisova Z, et al.
