nmIs11 [Cbr-msrp-3(+) + Cbr-unc-119(+) + myo-2::GFP]. GFP expression in pharynx. Wild-type (non-Unc) movement. Roughly two-fold over-expression of Cbr-msrp-3(+); has no measurable effect on fertility. Cbr-MSRP-3 is a sperm surface glycoprotein with homologs in C. elegans and other species. Reference: Van Goor J, et al. Curr Biol. 2025 35:1-7.

nmIs12 [Cbr-msrp-3(+) + Cbr-unc-119(+) + myo-2::GFP]. GFP expression in pharynx. Wild-type (non-Unc) movement. Roughly two-fold over-expression of Cbr-msrp-3(+); has no measurable effect on fertility. Cbr-MSRP-3 is a sperm surface glycoprotein with homologs in C. elegans and other species.

mfIs29 [Cel-lip-1::GFP + Cel-myo-2::GFP]. Strong GFP expression in pharynx and weak GFP expression in various somatic and germline tissues. nm85 is a likely null frameshift mutation in the sperm-expressed Cbr-msrp-3, but has no apparent reproductive phenotypes. To confirm presence of nm85 mutation, use primers AT19+AT20 (WT: 291 nt, nm85: 286 nt). AT19: AAGAAGAGAGAAACCAGAAGC. AT20: AAAAGTAAAACATACCGATCACA. Reference: Van Goor J, et al. Curr Biol. 2025 35:1-7.

nm77 is an HA epitope tag inserted into the endogenous Cbr-msrp-3 locus, two codons after the predicted signal peptide cleavage site of Cbr-MSRP-3. Anti-HA antibodies recognize the tagged Cbr-MSRP-3 glycoprotein on immunoblots, in the membranous organelles of spermatids, and on the plasma membrane of activated sperm (including pseudopod) in both males and hermaphrodites. To confirm presence of the nm77 insertion, use primers AT19+AT20 (WT: 291 nt, nm77: 318 nt). AT19: AAGAAGAGAGAAACCAGAAGC. AT20: AAAAGTAAAACATACCGATCACA. Reference: Van Goor J, et al. Curr Biol. 2025 35:1-7.

mfIs29 [Cel-lip-1::GFP + Cel-myo-2::GFP]. Strong GFP expression in pharynx and weak GFP expression in various somatic and germline tissues. nmDf3 is an 8411 bp deletion that removes Cbr-msrp-2, Cbr-msrp-3, Cbr-msrp-4, Cbr-msrp-6, and Cbr-msrp-6, but has no apparent reproductive phenotypes. [NOTE: Van Goor J, et al. (2005) incorrectly described the nmDf3 as a 5807 bp deletion.] To confirm presence of deletion, use primers AT72+AT73 (WT: 11213 nt, nmDf3: 2802) and AT20+AT75 (WT: 855 nt, nmDf3: no product). AT72: GTACGACGGATAGAGTGTGAT. AT73: CTGTGGGATTATGAAAAGACTC. AT20: AAAAGTAAAACATACCGATCACA. AT75: CAGCAGCAACCTTAGAACAT. Reference: Van Goor J, et al. Curr Biol. 2025 35:1-7.

mfIs29 [Cel-lip-1::GFP + Cel-myo-2::GFP]. Strong GFP expression in pharynx and weak GFP expression in various somatic and germline tissues. nmDf3 is an 8411 bp deletion that removes Cbr-msrp-2, Cbr-msrp-3, Cbr-msrp-4, Cbr-msrp-6, and Cbr-msrp-6. Removal of all six Cbr-msrp paralogs has no apparent reproductive phenotypes. [NOTE: Van Goor J, et al. (2005) incorrectly described the nmDf3 as a 5807 bp deletion.] To confirm presence of nm86 mutation, use primers AT130+AT131 (WT: 184 nt, nm86: 224 nt). AT130: CGAAATAATTGAACCTACCAAGA. AT131: CACTCTCTCTGACTGCAAACG. To confirm presence of deletion, use primers AT72+AT73 (WT: 11213 nt, nmDf3: 2802) and AT20+AT75 (WT: 855 nt, nmDf3: no product). AT72: GTACGACGGATAGAGTGTGAT.
