maIs103[rnr::GFP unc-36(+)] X. The heDf1 deletion includes cdk-4. Heterozygotes produce 1/4 thin, sterile, uncoordinated animals that fail to undergo postembryonic somatic cell divisions. heDf1 mutants are of L1 size, smaller than cdk-4 mutants. lon-2 and unc-9 do not exactly balance heDf1, but unc-9 is pretty close. It should also be possible to follow the heterozygotes by looking at the GFP. Despite trying, unable to separate the maIs integration from heDf1 or the other cdk-4 alleles. By maintaining animals with GFP (visible especially in early animals and in eggs) you should be able to maintain heDf1. rnr::GFP is expressed during S-phase in heterozygous animals. rnr::GFP expression is not detected in heDf1 animals. maIs103 is tightly linked to heDf1. Maintain by picking several single animals and scoring for 1/4 mutant progeny.

heIs9 [myo-3p::cyd-1 + myo-3p::cdk-4::Venus + myo-3p::GFP::H2B] IV. Expression of CYD-1, CDK-4::VENUS, and GFP::H2B in body wall muscles (BWM). Over-expression of tagged CYD-1 and tagged CDK-4 from integrated transgene causes incidental extra BWM nuclei. Expression levels are higher that those from heIs12 in SV860.

mjEx331 [eft-3p::pash-1::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + myo-2p::mCherry::unc-54 3'UTR]. Maintain at 25C. Array rescues pash-1 lethality and should be self-selecting at 25C. Pick mCherry(+) animals to confirm presence of array. SX1359 was derived from SX1137 pash-1(mj100). mj100 homozygotes can be re-isolated by raising SX1359 at permissive temperature (15C) and picking animals that have lost the array.

ccEx7271 [let-858::GFP + pha-1(+)]. This strain expresses nuclear-localized GFP in all somatic nuclei, but reduced or no GFP in germ cells. If maintained at 20C, pha-1(ts) genotype will select for transgenic animals. Germ cell expression can be observed when maintained at 25C. Germline transgene silencing is abnormal.

texIs127 [spp-9p::GFP] X. GFP expression in intestine and six aphid neurons, including AWB and AWC, serves as a reporter for DBL-1 signaling (fluorescence is high when DBL-1 signaling is low, and low when DBL-1 signaling is high). This reporter is also responsive to starvation, select bacterial pathogens, and loss of other innate immune signaling pathways, including tir-1 and pmk-1 (but not sek-1 or mek-1). texIs127 created by X-ray integration of extrachromosomal array wkEx52 into N2 animals using UV/TMP.

egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]; reportedly maps to LG IV. yyzSi9 [rab-3p::hrp-2(cDNA)::mRuby::hrpr-1 3'UTR + HygR]. Hygromycin resistant. hrpr-1 transgene expression in neurons. hrpr-1 also known as hrp-2.

Heterozygotes are Unc-93 and segregate more Unc-93, yDf10 homozygotes (dead eggs) and Unc-93 Dpy-17 homozygotes (young dpy-17 larvae are easily recognizable as abnormal spindle-shaped things). Difficult to maintain and use. yDf10 apparently causes semi-sterility (a second strain constructed by the Mark Edgley at the CGC, yDf10/qC1, exhibits same sterility), and unc-93 is Egl and difficult to mate into. Some Df homozygotes are laid, but most remain inside the mother.

Animals with the Dup are WT. Animals which have lost the Dup are DpyUnc. Maintain by picking WT.

Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Unc, dead eggs and temperature sensitive Dpys. At 15C the y228 homozygotes (derived from heterozygous mothers) are WT and most of their progeny are inviable, dying as arrested embryos or as necrotic Uncoordinated and Constipated L1 larvae; a small number of animals survive and develop into Dpy, Egl adults with a protruding vulva. At 25C the y228 homozygotes (derived from a heterozygous mother) are Dpy and Egl and have a protruding vulva; progeny from these animals are inviable and die as embryos or L1 larvae. See also WBPaper00002302.
