Recessive maternal effect. Embryos from nop-1 mothers exhibit no pseudocleavage contractions or furrow. The majority of the embryos survive and grow into fertile adults.

745 bp deletion of cdk-4 from intron I to exon3 removing putative ATP binding domain and catalytic residues. Most homozygous animals arrest at L2 due to absence of most or all postembryonic somatic cell divisions. Some germline proliferation resulting in slightly elongated gonad.

tm1095 enhances Q neuroblast migration and vulva induction phenotype of pry-1. Minor defect in excretory cell development. Reference: Oosterveen et al. (2007) Dev Biol 308: 438-48.

nuIs26 [cat-1::GFP] IV. nuIs26 contains a full length CAT-1::GFP fusion protein (with GFP fused at the predicted carboxy terminus of CAT-1). This transgene rescues the hyperactive locomotion defect of cat-1(e1111). This strain is slightly sluggish for locomotion and has a high degree of sterility (80%), both of which appear to be associated with the transgene. GFP expression in this strain is similar to the CAT expression pattern described by Duerr et al (1999) J Neurosci 19: 72-84.

[NOTE: nuIs190 was previously described as carrying myo-2p::GFP without an NLS.] Reference: Ch'ng Q, Sieburth D, Kaplan JM. PLoS Genet. 2008 Nov;4(11):e1000283.
