Hermaphrodites are WT. Males are defective in response and vulva location mating behaviors. Low mating efficiency with non-Unc hermaphrodites. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC. This strain cannot be distributed to commercial organizations. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.

he314[pie-1p::GLO-ePDZ::mCherry::smu-1::tbb-2 3'UTR] II. e259[eft-3p::PH::eGFP::LOV::tbb-2 3'UTR]) IV. Superficially wild-type. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to create insertion alleles he314 and he259 insertions into N2 background at sites of known MosSCI insertions ttTi5605 and cxTi10816, respectively. ePDZ–LOV system transgenes allow use of blue light to control protein heterodimerization, in this case, membrane recruitment of ePDZ-tagged proteins of interest. Germline-optimized cytosolic ePDZ::mCherry-tagged SMU-1 (GLO-ePDZ::mCherry::SMU-1), and membrane-bound LOV2 domain fused to a pleckstrin-homology domain (PH::eGFP::LOV). GLO-ePDZ::mCherry is a germline-optimized variant coded to be less prone to silencing in the germline. Reference: Fielmich LE, et al. eLife 2018 Aug 15;7:e38198. doi: 10.7554/eLife.38198.

utdSi51[mex-5p::tomm-20(aa 1-55)::halotag::lov::tbb-2 3’UTR] II. Maintain at 23C and protect from light. Strain is sickly, seems to grow best and lay more eggs at 23C. Upon stimulation with 488nm light, the LOV-ePDZ optogenetic system will recruit mitochondria to the dynein heavy chain in the worm embryo. Embryonic cell divisions can be stopped by if mitochondrial recruitment is stimulated in early development. Room light can also induce mitochondria re-localization and cause infertility; store this strain in the dark. Reference: Fan X, et al. G3 (accepted).

arTi85 [lin-31p::ERK::KTR::mClover::T2A::mCherry::his-11::unc-54 3'UTR + rps-27p::NeoR::unc-54 3'UTR]. Superficially wild-type. arTi85 transgene is a single-copy transposon insertion expressing a fluorescent protein (ERK::KTR::mClover) that reports MPK-1 kinase activity in vulval precursor cells (VPCs). A nuclear histone marker is co-expressed (mCherry::H2B). Reference: de la Cova C, et al. Developmental Cell. 2017 Vol. 42(5):542-553.

arTi101 [lin-31p::ERK::KTR(S43A, T55A, S62A)::mClover::T2A::mCherry::his-11::unc-54 3'UTR + rps-27p::NeoR::unc-54 3'UTR]. Superficially wild-type. arTi101 transgene is a single-copy transposon insertion expressing a mutant, unphosphorylated form of a fluorescent protein (ERK::KTR::mClover) that reports MPK-1 kinase activity in vulval precursor cells (VPCs). A nuclear histone marker is co-expressed (mCherry::H2B). Use arTi101 as a negative control for transgene arTi85. Reference: de la Cova C, et al. Developmental Cell. 2017 Vol. 42(5):542-553.
