Superficially wild-type. Made in N2 background. [NOTE: There was an error in the information originally submitted to the CGC for this strain. The correct allele name is par-6(it310), not par-6(it319).]

PAR-6::Halo endogenously tagged using Cas9-triggered homologous recombination. HaloTag-GLO is a germline-optimized variant coded to be less prone to silencing in the germline. Reference: Dickinson DJ, et al. Dev Cell. 2017 Aug 21;42(4):416-434.e11. (PMID 28829947).

zuIs43[pie-1::GFP::PAR-6::ZF1 + unc-119(+)]. Unc worms. GFP present in early embryos but then degrades in somatic lineages. Rescues Mel phenotype of par-6(zu170).

zuIs54 [par-6p::par-6::ZF1::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Unc. GFP-tagged PAR-6 that degrades in early embryonic somatic cells; rescues the Par phenotype of par-6(zu222). Delayed gastrulation of endodermal cells. Reference: Nance J, Munro EM, Priess JR. Development. 2003 Nov;130(22):5339-50.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs, dead larvae (par-6 homozygotes) and males.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, paralyzed Unc, and Coilers which give only dead eggs (slightly leaky, but survivors are agametic). zu222 is a strict maternal effect embryonic lethal. Partitioning defect similar to that of par-3; fails to localize PAR-3 protein.

zuIs45 [nmy-2p::nmy-2::GFP + unc-119(+)] V. Balanced worms are wild-type and segregate wild-type (heterozygotes), Coil Par (par-6 unc-101 homozygotes; maternal effect lethal), and paralyzed Unc (hIn1 homozygotes). Par phenotype is slightly leaky, but survivors are agametic. NMY-2::GFP is expressed in the germline and somatic gonad. Cross of JJ1473 and KK818. Unknown if unc-119(ed3) is still present or homozygous in background. Reference: Small LE & Dawes AT. Mol Biol Cell. 2017 Aug 1;28(16):2220-2231.

xnIs3[par-6:PAR-6::GFP + unc-119(+)]. Wild type worms. Express PAR-6::GFP in early embryos and epithelial cells.

xnIs312 [par-6p::par-6::mCherry + unc-119(+)]. Expresses par-6::mCherry maternally and zygotically. Expression is present in many cells, including early embryos, epithelial cells, the excretory cell, and the germ line. Reference: Armenti ST, Chan E, Nance J. Dev Biol. 2014 Aug 4. pii: S0012-1606(14)00355-8.

axIs1928 [mCherry::par-6]. axIs1182 [GFP::par-2]. Maintain at 25C to retain transgene expression. [NOTE: axIs1182 [GFP::par-2] might not be integrated; the CGC has received reports that it does not segregate to all progeny.]

axIs1928 [mCherry::par-6]. axIs1182 [GFP::par-2]. Temperature-sensitive Maternal-effect lethal at 25 C. Maintain at 15-20 C.

zuIs58 [unc-119(+) + par-6::PAR-6::ZF1::GFP].

ZF-degron, GFP, and 3xFLAG tags inserted into endogenous par-6 locus. No overt phenotypes in a zif-1(gk117) background. GFP fluorescence is observed at the anterior cortex in zygotes and at apical surfaces in epithelia. Presence of ZF-degron targets tagged proteins for ZIF-mediated degradation. Expression of ZIF-1 causes the tagged PAR-6 protein to be degraded. Reference: Sallee M, et al. eLife. 2021 Jun 17;10:e64437. doi: 10.7554/eLife.64437. PMID: 34137371.

par-2(it315) exhibits a weak maternal effect sterility, suggesting that the tag reduces the protein activity. Note, however, that double homozygous mutants of it315 with pkc-3(it309) or par-6(it310) exhibited partially penetrant and variable maternal effect lethality and maternal effect sterility that was stronger than it315 alone. Thus, although the GFP tags on pkc-3 and par-6 show no effect in an otherwise wild-type background, they do seem to somewhat compromise the activity of the proteins they tag. Made in N2 background.
