drIs4 [gpdh-1p::GFP + col-12p::DsRed] IV. H612A mutation introduced into the endogenous ogt-1 locus tagged with C-terminal GFP. OGT-1(H612A)::GFP is expressed ubiquitously in somatic tissues with a nuclear localization. The H612A mutation decreases, but does not completely ablate, the O-GlcNAcylation activity of OGT-1 as measured by the RL2 O-GlcNAc antibody. Sanger sequence confirmed. Reference: Urso SJ, et al. (2020). The O-GlcNAc transferase OGT is a conserved and essential regulator of the cellular and organismal response to hypertonic stress. bioRxiv, 2020.2005.2001.072033.

Heterozygotes are semi-Dpy and segregate semi-Dpy, Vul, early larval lethals and dead eggs. Maintain by picking semi-Dpy.
