zbIs2 [pie-1p::lifeact::RFP::pie-1 3' UTR + unc-119(+)]. Lifeact tag labels F-actin without interfering F-actin dynmics. The strain has never been officially published; however, a GFP version of this transgene is described in Pohl C & Bao Z. Dev Cell. 2010 Sep 14;19(3):402-12. PMID: 20833362.

xnIs449 [lin-26::lifeAct::GFP + unc-119(+)]. LifeAct-GFP expressed in epidermal cells of embryos. In adults, expression is also observed in pharynx and some cells in the tail.

Maintain at 15C. cyk-1(or596) is temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal. arIs198 [glt-3p::CFP + glt-3p::LifeAct::TagRFP]; expresses cytoplasmic CFP and LifeAct::TagRFP in the excretory canal cell under control of the glt-3 promoter.

Maintain at 15C. cyk-1(or596) is temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal. arIs198 [glt-3p::CFP + glt-3p::LifeAct::TagRFP]; expresses cytoplasmic CFP and LifeAct::TagRFP in the excretory canal cell under control of the glt-3 promoter. Shortened excretory canals.

Endogenous mlc-2 locus co-expresses LifeAct peptide fused to wrmScarlet. Myosin light chain is untagged. Bright red fluorescence in all muscles is visible by dissection fluorescence microscopy. Broad bands of fluorescence are visible in body wall muscle by confocal microscopy. Please contact Ryan Littlefield prior to publishing work with this strain.
