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.

wrdSi23 [eft-3p::TIR1::F2A::mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS::tbb-2 3'UTR] (I:-5.32). rubSi6 [eft-3p::scFv(glo)::GFP(smu-1 introns)::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. rubSi8 [eft-3p::24xGCN4::AID::T2A::tagBFP::H2B::tbb-2 3’UTR *rubSi7]) IV. ltIs44 [pie-1p::mCherry::PH(PLC1delta1) + unc-119(+)] V. SunTag system allows visualization of translation throughout development in real-time. 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, bright clustering of the GFP signal can be observed. Mature GCN4 proteins can be observed as dimmer GFP clusters in the absence of auxin, but not in the presence of auxin. Bright BFP signal from mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS and TagBFP::H2B can be visible in nuclei in the absence of auxin, in the presence of auxin only dimmer TagBFP::H2B is visible in nuclei. mCherry::PH marks the cell membranes throughout development. 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. rubSi8 derived by modification of insertion of an AID tag into rubSi7, which is located in cxTi10816. Reference: van der Salm E, et al. Development. 2025 May 15;152(10):dev204435. doi: 10.1242/dev.204435. PMID: 40260543.

he314[pie-1p::GLO-ePDZ::mCherry::smu-1::tbb-2 3'UTR] II. e259[eft-3p::PH::eGFP::LOV::tbb-2 3'UTR]) IV. Superficially wild-type. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to create insertion alleles he314 and he259 insertions into N2 background at sites of known MosSCI insertions ttTi5605 and cxTi10816, respectively. ePDZ–LOV system transgenes allow use of blue light to control protein heterodimerization, in this case, membrane recruitment of ePDZ-tagged proteins of interest. Germline-optimized cytosolic ePDZ::mCherry-tagged SMU-1 (GLO-ePDZ::mCherry::SMU-1), and membrane-bound LOV2 domain fused to a pleckstrin-homology domain (PH::eGFP::LOV). GLO-ePDZ::mCherry is a germline-optimized variant coded to be less prone to silencing in the germline. Reference: Fielmich LE, et al. eLife 2018 Aug 15;7:e38198. doi: 10.7554/eLife.38198.

heSi220 [lin-31p::Cre] X. Vulval lineage is marked through activity of a Cre-dependent reporter (blue-to-red switch). All cells in the animal are expressing BFP, except for vulval cells which are expressing mCherry. he317 was inserted into the cxTi10816 site using CRISPR/Cas9. Reference: van der Vaart A, et al. Sci. Adv. 2020 May; 6(21): eaay3823. PMID: 32494730.
