hqIs180 [sdhb-1p::mtLS::cpYFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers. About six mitoflash events per anterior pharynx per 200 seconds on adult day 3 when cultured on standard NGM plates at 20 ºC. In hqIs180, mtLS is a mitochondrial localization sequence from SDHB-1 and cpYFP is circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein, a superoxide sensor (Wang W. et al., Cell, 2008). The cpYFP signal is detected in most or all tissues, but most strongly in the pharyngeal muscles. Reference: Shen E-Z, et al. Nature. 2014 Feb 12. doi: 10.1038/nature13012.
