mTurqoise2 tag with linker sequence inserted into endogenous his-72 locus. mNeonGreen::2xFLAG tag inserted into endogenous yap-1 locus. Ubiquitous yellow fluorescence (488 nm or 514 nm) is cytosolic with modest nuclear signal and strong exclusion from nucleoli, but translocates to nuclei upon disruption of upstream Hippo pathway components. Deficiency of cst-1/2 (Hippo/MST) causes translocation into nuclei of all hypodermal cells, deficiency of wts-1 (Warts/LATS) causes translocation into nuclei of all cell types observed. YAP-1::mNG::2xFLAG may be non-functional, as endogenous tag blocks lethality conferred by deficiency of WTS-1. References: Huynh L, et al.

Mild uncharacterized Unc. reDf4 is a deletion of the tandemly duplicated cst-1 and cst-2 loci as well as intervening ncRNAs. Ubiquitous yellow fluorescence (488 nm or 514 nm) is cytosolic with modest nuclear signal and strong exclusion from nucleoli, but translocates to nuclei upon disruption of upstream Hippo pathway components. Deficiency of cst-1/2 (Hippo/MST) causes translocation into nuclei of all hypodermal cells. YAP-1::mNG::2xFLAG may be non-functional, as endogenous tag blocks lethality conferred by deficiency of WTS-1. References: Huynh L, et al.

ihIs35 [yap-1::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + lin-15(+)]. Translational yap-1::GFP fusion containing 5 kb of upstream regulatory sequence and 2.5kb coding genomic sequence; inserted into pPD95.75. Integration of yap-1::GFP extrachromosomal array was performed by the UV irradiation method. Reference: Iwasa H, et al. Exp Cell Res. 2013 Apr 15;319(7):931-45.
