(5'end)5'GGTCTACCAGAGTTTGTGCGCAATC3' (3'end)5'GATAGCCTTGCACTTCGTTG3'.

Coordinated hyperactive locomotion. Hypersensitive to mechanical stimuli. Most mature adults have vulval bump. Mature animals are slightly short and egl-d. Terminal phenotype is usually bag of worms. Population tends to severely crash within 2-3 weeks of starvation. Dominant, gain-of-function allele. Heterozygotes are difficult to distinguish from homozygotes. Mutation is R182C.

ceIs201 [unc-17p::ins-22::Venus + unc-17p::RFP + unc-17p::ssmCherry + myo-2p::RFP]; integration site maps to I:0.77. Expresses INS-22::Venus to mark Dense Core Vesicles in the cholinergic nervous system, including the ventral cord cholinergic motor neurons. Also expresses mCherry in the same neurons to help identify the boundaries of the somas, axons, and dendrites. ssmCherry is mCherry with a secretion signal on its N-terminus, which is constitutively secreted and taken up by coelomoctyes in the pseuodcoelomic space, making it a useful marker for those coelomocytes. The INS-22::Venus also gets secreted by DCVs and taken up by coelomocytes. The myo-2::RFP is a co-tranformation marker that lights up the pharyngeal muscle cells and is useful for crossing the integrant into various mutant backgrounds. Reference: Hoover CM, et al. Genetics. 2014 Mar;196(3):745-65.

Expresses RFP::SYN-13 to mark early endosomes in a set of 9 DA/DB cholinergic motor neurons in the ventral nerve cord. unc-129::Venus fills the neuron and thus is useful for identifying regions and can also be used as a control for effects on expression of the transgene.

Lox P sites in 3' UTR and 4th intron flank kinesin motor domain sequences; sup-1(e995) mini-gene inserted in second intron. Appears wild-type on plates and in quantitative locomotion assays. Can be used to conditionally delete gene sequences encoding the conventional kinesin motor domain in a tissue specific manner by driving expression of Cre recombinase in the tissue of interest.

Superficially wild type on plates. Slight (<10%), but significant, expansion of synaptic vesicles from the synaptic region of the DA9 motor neuron into the flanking asynaptic regions. Synaptic vesicles also showed a slight but significant accumulation in rimb-1 mutant dendrites in the DA9 motor neuron (192 +/- 32% compared to wild type; N=15; P=.015). The sequence GC TAG C TAA A TGA (3 successive stop codons in different reading frames) was inserted after codon 16 of the rimb-1 gene; described in Edwards SL, et al. (manuscript in revision). "Sentryn Acts with a Subset of Active Zone Proteins in the Guided Transport and Capture of Synaptic Vesicles in Caenorhabditis elegans."

The Auxin Inducible Degron (AID*) flanked by a 5X Myc/spacer tag on left and a single spacer on the right is fused to the N-terminus of the unc-104 gene. Allows conditional degradation of UNC-104 protein when combined with tissue specific expression of TIR1 in the presence of 1 mM Auxin in plate media. Note: KG5148 does not express TIR1. On standard plates: wild type growth, appearance, and locomotion rate. For animals expressing a TIR1 transgene in the nervous system: Animals that hatch and develop on 1 mM Auxin plates generally remain tightly coiled near the location of hatching and exhibit slow growth (up to 7 days to reach adulthood, with 98% reaching adulthood by 7 days). Adults placed on Auxin abruptly lose about 75% of their locomotion function between 6 and 12 hours after plating. The remaining locomotion function is lost gradually between 12 and 52 hours.

Superficially wild-type. Note that double homozygous mutants of pkc-3(it309) with par-2(it315) exhibited partially penetrant and variable maternal effect lethality and maternal effect sterility that was stronger than it315 alone. Thus, although the GFP tag on pkc-3 shows no effect in an otherwise wild-type background, it does seem to somewhat compromise the activity of the protein it tags. Made in N2 background.
