Pick GFP+ to maintain. sprDf1 is a ~0.25 Mb microdeletion allele on the left arm of chromosome V that removes 32 adjacent protein-coding genes, including mex-5. Heterozygous animals (GFP+) are fertile, but sometimes die by bursting, will have polynucleated embryos, and form uterine tumors ~6 days after hatching. sprDf1 homozygotes (GFP-) have maternal effect lethality, are small, sterile, form large uterine tumors that consist of poly nucleated embryos, have squashed vulvas, are uncoordinated, and die by bursting within eight days of hatching. nT1 homozygotes are inviable (dead eggs).

High physiological germ-line apoptosis. op234 was originally assigned to gla-1, but cloning revealed it to be a point mutation in cpb-3 causing a C520Y substitution at an invariant cysteine within the conserved C/H domain.

opIs34 [hus-1p::hus-1::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Low-copy integrated array of 1144 bp hus-1 promoter and genomic coding sequence fused to GFP. Nuclear expression of GFP in germ cells and embryos. Integrated GFP construct completely rescues DNA damage induced cell cycle arrest defect and partially rescues DNA damage induced apoptosis of hus-1(op241).

Maintain at 15-20C. Sterile at 25C. Apoptosis variant. Small germ line.

opIs56 [egl-1p::2xNLS::GFP]. opIs56 is a low copy integrant of 3 kb 5' sequence from egl-1 fused to 2xNLS GFP. unc-119(ed3) should be outcrossed. Low basal GFP expression in embryos, meiotic germ cells and several neurons. GFP expression can be induced by ionizing radiation in all germ cells. Best viewed with dissected gonads.

opIs76 [cyb-1p::cyb-1::YFP + unc-119(+)]. The fusion protein partially rescues a cyb-1 null allele, so it is at least partially functional. non-Unc strain.

opIs110 [lim-7p::YFP::actin + unc-119(+)] IV. YFP::ACT-5 expressed in somatic sheath cells, marks pre-disc corpses.

Heterozygotes are WT GFP+ and segregate non-glowing hus-1 homozygotes and very rare homozygous hT2 glowing animals, and dead eggs. qIs48 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and gut promoter driving GFP in the intestine. hus-1(op244) mutants from homozygous parents show an incompletely penetrant maternal effect embryonic lethality. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype.

Ethosuximide resistant. Temperature sensitive dye-filling defective: WT dye-filling at 20C, dye-filling defective at 27C.

n1790 causes a partially penetrant "rod-like" larval lethal phenotype (17% at 20C) and a partially penetrant vulvaless defect (50% at 20C). A Smg mutation enhances these phenotypes. The n1790 mutation is a nonsense change at codon 352.
