The mdt-15(et14) gain-of-function mutation has no obvious phenotype on its own but can act as a paqr-2 suppressor. The C5832666T [WS200] mutation can be detected by PCR using the following primers: mdt-15(et14) Mut Fwd: 5’-GTGCCTCCAGATCCACAGCT-3’; mdt-15(et14) WT Fwd: 5’-GTGCCTCCAGATCCACAGCC-3’; mdt-15 Rev: 5’-CACCCATTGGAGCACCACT-3’. Annealing 65°C, expected product ~400 bp. Reference: Svensk E, et al. PLoS Genetics 9:e1003801. PMID: 24068966

rab-3(ftw79[rab-3::SL2::LoxP::GFP::NLS::3'UTR::Abeta(inv)::sigPep(inv)::T2A(inv)::wrmScarlet11(inv)::LoxP(inv)]) II. Modified endogenous rab-3 locus co-expresses stochastic, switchable cassette by trans-splicing using CRISPR-Cas9. Green fluorescence visible in neurons by dissection fluorescence microscopy. Inverted LoxP sites flank the GFP-NLS and inverted wrmScarlet11::T2A::signalPeptide::Abeta insert. Please contact Ryan Littlefield prior to publishing work using this strain.

Severing and tagging of endogenous locus with trans-splicing ICR and GFP using CRISPR/Cas9. Pharynx and body muscles are green fluorescent and visible by dissection fluorescence microscopy. Severing is located upstream of kinase domain. Please contact Ryan Littlefield prior to publishing work using this strain.

4xwrmScarlet11 tag inserted inserted at 5' end of rab-3b locus using CRISPR/Cas9. Insertion confirmed by sequencing. wrmScarlet11::RAB-3B shows smaller RAB-3 puncta compared to over-expression reporters. The fusion protein is likely non-functional as the strain shows strong aldicarb resistance; however, the localization pattern of 4×wrmScarlet::RAB-3 is similar to that of transgenically expressed RAB-3. 4×wrmScarlet11::rab-3b strain also labels rab-3a; it is possible that 4×wrmScarlet11 inserted in the middle of rab-3a isoform disrupts the functions of RAB-3 in neurotransmission.
