drSi13 [hsf-1p::hsf-1::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. Expresses single-copy drSi13 in the background of balanced hsf-1(ok600). drSi13 includes hsf-1 cDNA with a C-terminal GFP and controlled by 4 kb of the hsf-1 promoter, integrated at a single copy by MosSCI on chromosome II at ttTi5605. Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP rescued ok600; drSi13 homozygotes, very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Reference: Morton EA, Lamitina T.

Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, larval-arrested ok600 homozygotes, very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. [NOTE: Although ok600 has been reported as a 1085 bp deletion in hsf-1, sequencing of the hsf-1 PCR product revealed only an 877 bp deletion (5'-AAATAAAAATTTCTTAGAAA [877 bp deletion] TGTACATGGGATCCGGTCCA-3').

drSi28 [hsf-1p::hsf-1(R145A)::GFP::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. Expresses single-copy drSi28 in the background of balanced hsf-1(ok600). drSi28 includes hsf-1 cDNA containing an arginine to alanine mutation at residue 145 in the DNA binding domain with a C-terminal GFP and controlled by 4 kb of the hsf-1 promoter, integrated at a single copy by MosSCI on chromosome II at ttTi5605. Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP ok600 homozygotes (not rescued by drSi28), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+.

Y53C10A.12. Replaces strain VC358. Apparent homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by unc-101-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, Unc-101 hIn1 homozygotes, and ok600 homozygotes (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: CAAACAACAAATCCTCGGCT. External right primer: GCTCAATGCGTCAACAACAT. Internal left primer: GTGGATGAGGTGGAAGTCGT. Internal right primer: GTCGCGAAACGGTAATCAAT. Internal WT amplicon: 2605 bp. Deletion size: 877 bp. Deletion left flank: ATGAGTCAATGGACCGGATCCCATGTACAT. Deletion right flank: TTCTAAGAAATTTTTATTTTCTGAAAAATC.
