ok98/+ animals are slightly Egl-d and have a small vulval bump. ok98 homozygotes are straight and paralyzed and slow growing. About 2/3 eventually reach adulthood and are paralyzed and sterile (they produce few if any oocytes). Segregates Unc Muv(ts).

Y69A2AR.2. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP ok98 homozygotes (paralyzed, sterile). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: GTGTCTTTACATCCGTCATTTCTG. External right primer: CATGATCAATAGCCTTCACATCTC. Internal left primer: AAGCGTCCAAGGCACATATCG. Internal right primer: CGTCTTCAACGCCTCGGTAG. Internal WT amplicon: 3370 bp. Deletion size: approximately 1480 bp.

Double mutant is less sensitive to ionizing radiation than the parg-2(ok980) single mutant, but as sensitive as the exo-1(tm1842) single mutant. Parental parg-2(ok980) strain outcrossed 6 times; parental exo-1(tm1842) strain outcrossed 4 times. Reference: Bae W, et al. Hypersensitivity to DNA double-strand breaks associated with PARG deficiency is suppressed by exo-1 and polq-1 mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans. The FEBS Journal, In press.

Hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation due to the parg-2(ok980) mutation is rescued by the polq-1(tm2572) mutation.  The double mutant is as sensitive as the wild-type to ionizing radiation. Parental parg-2(ok980) strain outcrossed 6 times; parental polq-1(tm2572) strain outcrossed 5 times. Reference: Bae W, et al. Hypersensitivity to DNA double-strand breaks associated with PARG deficiency is suppressed by exo-1 and polq-1 mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans. The FEBS Journal, In press.
