NeuroPAL landmark reporter in a sextuple CUT mutant background. See description of strain OH15262 for full description of otIs669 NeuroPAL (Neuronal Polychromatic Atlas of Landmarks) transgene (Yemini E, et al. Cell. 2021 Jan 7;184(1):272-288.e11. PMID: 33378642). otDf1 is a deletion affecting ceh-41, ceh-21, T26C11.9, and ceh-39. Reporter expression is affected in this mutant, suggesting alterations in neuronal identity.

WT PHENOTYPE. This strain should throw dead eggs, but it is not doing so. Hasn't been checked to see if the deficiency is still there.

Rubberband Unc. Reverts. There is some question regarding e1500 in this strain. Please see MT19321 as a better strain.

Hets are WT and segregate WT, dead eggs and DpyUnc. Maintain by picking WT. [2/97: This strain also throws Dpys. RK Herman put a new mnC1 dpy-10 unc-52 chromosome into the strains, and it still continues to throw Dpys. It seems that the mnC1 dpy-10 unc-52 chromosome is correct. It's possible that the mnDf97 chromosome is broken.]

sraEx230 [str-2p::Arch::TagRFP + pBX(pha-1(+))]. Maintain at 25C. This transgenic line expresses TagRFP in AWC(on) and has little response to blue light in the absence of ATR. In the presence of ATR the reversal rate of the animal is decreased upon symmetrical stimulation, and asymmetrical stimulation causes the worm to turn in the same direction the head was bent when AWC(on) was inhibited.

sraEx306 [ser-2(prom2)::chop-2(H134R)::TagRFP + ser-2(prom2)::mKO + pBX(pha-1(+))]. Maintain at 25C. This transgenic line expresses mKO and TagRFP in AIY, AIZ and RME in the head, and has little response to blue light in the absence of ATR. In the presence of ATR asymmetrical stimulation of AIY causes the worm to turn in the same direction the head was bent when AIY was excited, whereas asymmetrical stimulation of AIZ or RME causes the worm to turn in the opposite direction to which the head was bent when AIZ or RME was excited.

Temperature sensitive defect in germ-line proliferation during larval development. Defect can be reversed by shifting worms from restrictive (25C) to permissive temperature (16C). Germ-line proliferation defect at restrictive temperature may be due to arrest in mitotic prophase. This strain is very useful for producing large populations of worms that essentially lack a germ line.

rubSi6 [eft-3p::scFv(glo)::GFP(smu-1 introns)::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. rubSi7 [eft-3p::24xGCN4::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR]) IV. SunTag system allows visualization of translation throughout development in real-time. This strain expresses a SunTag reporter mRNA (24xGCN4::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR ) and a SunTag antibody (scFv::GFP). In the absence of translation, GFP signal can be observed in the cytoplasm, nuclei and at epithelial apical membranes. At translation sites of the SunTag reporter, clustering of the GFP signal can be observed. Mature GCN4 proteins can be observed as dimmer GFP clusters. rubSi6 was inserted into ttTi5605 and also includes a partial duplication of the transgene (a portion of GFP with smu-1 introns and tbb-2 3’UTR) downstream of the tbb-2 3’UTR in the intact transgene. rubSi7 was inserted into cxTi10816. Reference: van der Salm E, et al. Development. 2025 May 15;152(10):dev204435. doi: 10.1242/dev.204435. PMID: 40260543.
