CRISPR/Cas9 engineered tagged endogenous locus.

Unc.

kasEx147 [oig-1p(1.6kb)::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + myo-2p::GFP]. Pick worms with GFP+ pharynx to maintain array. Unc. 1.6kb cis-regulatory region (-2.6-1.0kb) upstream of oig-1 was fused to GFP with the unc-54 3'UTR. oig-1 uses mulitple cis-regulatory regions to achieve different expression patterns in motor neurons; this construct drives expression specifically in cholinergic motor neurons. Construct was injected into N2 worms. Reference: Feng W, et al. Elife. 2020 Jan 3;9. pii: e50065. doi: 10.7554/eLife.50065.

kasEx149 [oig-1p(2.6kb_del)::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + myo-2p::GFP]. Pick worms with GFP+ pharynx to maintain array. Unc. 2.6kb cis-regulatory region with 200bp deletion removing predicted LIN-39 binding site upstream of oig-1 was fused to GFP. Expression of oig-1::GFP in GABAergic motor neurons is been abolished; expression was observed specifically in cholinergic motor neurons of the ventral nerve cord. Reference: Feng W, et al. Elife. 2020 Jan 3;9. pii: e50065. doi: 10.7554/eLife.50065.

kasEx151 [oig-1p(2.6kb_del)::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + myo-2p::GFP]. Pick worms with GFP+ pharynx to maintain array. Unc. 2.6kb cis-regulatory region with 300bp deletion removing predicted LIN-39 binding site upstream of oig-1 was fused to GFP. Expression of oig-1::GFP in GABAergic motor neurons is retained, but eliminates ectopic expression in cholinergic motor neurons of the ventral nerve cord. Reference: Feng W, et al. Elife. 2020 Jan 3;9. pii: e50065. doi: 10.7554/eLife.50065.

ieSi57 [eft-3p::TIR1::mRuby::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. The endogenous unc-3 locus is tagged with mNeonGreen and AID* degron. mNeonGreen expression is seen in the cholinergic motor neurons, command interneurons, and ASI. Reference: Patel T, Hobert O. Elife. 2017 Apr 19;6:e24100. doi: 10.7554/eLife.24100. PMID: 28422646.

WT PHENOTYPE.

Dpy. Unc. meT7 is an end-to-end-to-end fusion of chromosomes III, X, and V. The right end of III is fused to the left end of X, and the right end of X is fused to the left end of IV. Constructed by crossing eT5 and mnT12. meT7 homozygotes produce 92% viable progeny. meT7 heterozygotes are Him and produce many dead eggs.

Unc. Temperature sensitive Muv.

n1279 is lethal. Animals which are alive contain the duplication. n1279 pka sup-20.

Unc. Muv. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Animals with the duplication are WT and segregate WT, sterile and Pats. Strain can be propagated by chunking.
