Superficially wild-type except for a slightly shorter body length in adults. Crispr/Cas9 was used to create a 13 bp deletion in exon7 of ccar-1a; breakpoints: CTGATTCGGGAG/sda11/ATCGGAAGTTTC. sda11 is an isoform-specific deletion allele. It only affects the function of CCAR-1A and CCAR-1D, but not CCAR-1B and C. In addition, because CCAR-1D is not expressed in embryos,this allele can be used to specifically inactivate CCAR-1A (the full-length isoform that is the most similar to human CCAR1) during embryogenesis.

Dominant temperature sensitive maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Maintain at 15C. Heterozygotes are WT. hIn1 homozygotes are Unc. Early cleavage spindles small and misoriented, cytokinesis often incomplete. Recessive non-temperature sensitive maternal-effect embryonic lethal (but sterile in conjuction with unc-59).

Dominant ts maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Embryos show extensive cytoplasmic blebbing, often accompanied by small spindles and incomplete cytokinesis. Two cell embryos divide synchronously. Embryos arrest with eight to several hundred cells. Recessive non-ts maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Null may be WT. Maintain at 15C.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Unc Dauers, and Dpys which throw dead eggs. Maintain by picking WT. ct59 animals are viable and fertile at 15C. ct59 is a temperature sensitive dominant maternal effect lethal. ct59 hets give more viable offspring at 15C than 25C.

Heterozygotes are green and segregate green WT, dead eggs and nonGreens that lay dead eggs with the defects in spindle organization, chromosome segregation, and cytokinesis.

Partially penetrant Pvl and Egl. xe40 specifically disrupts the LIN-29A isoform. The GFP tag was inserted at the shared C-terminus of LIN-29A/B in the xe40 background, so only the labeled B isoform is expressed.
