rab-3(miz237[4xwrmScarlet11::rab-3b]) II. Show Description
4xwrmScarlet11 tag inserted inserted at 5' end of rab-3b locus using CRISPR/Cas9. Insertion confirmed by sequencing. wrmScarlet11::RAB-3B shows smaller RAB-3 puncta compared to over-expression reporters. The fusion protein is likely non-functional as the strain shows strong aldicarb resistance; however, the localization pattern of 4×wrmScarlet::RAB-3 is similar to that of transgenically expressed RAB-3. 4×wrmScarlet11::rab-3b strain also labels rab-3a; it is possible that 4×wrmScarlet11 inserted in the middle of rab-3a isoform disrupts the functions of RAB-3 in neurotransmission.
