F54D11.1. Homozygous lethal 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 ok2419 homozygotes (early larval arrest). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: AAGCCGAAATGAGACACCAC. External right primer: CCCACCCTCGATTTACAGTC. Internal left primer: GTTTTCGGTCGGTAGAGCAC. Internal right primer: TTTGAAATCGATCGAAAAATTG. Internal WT amplicon: 3161 bp. Deletion size: 2665 bp. Deletion left flank: TAGTTTTTCAATAAATAAATACACTTTTTT. Deletion right flank: GTTGGCAATCGCTTTGGAACGACTTCACGA. Insertion Sequence: AATCCTGAGCAAAAAAGTTAAGTAGTTGAAAAAAAGTTAAGTA.

Canonical allele. Superficially wild-type. Frequency of spontaneous reversals approximately twice that of wild type. Initial L4 swimming rate approximately half that of wild type, and decreases steadily for 30 min, until the animals are immobile. Synthetic lethal with pmt-2 RNAi.

mdEx790 [cho-1p(7.6kb)::cho-1::GFP + pha-1(+) + pBluescript]. CHO-1 translational fusion driven by 7.6 kb cho-1 promoter rescues cho-1 mutant behaviors, including reduced initial thrashing rate, fatigue, and synthetic interactions with pmt-2. Strong fluorescence in nerve ring, and ventral and dorsal nerve cords. Structure of the transgene is shown in Figure 1 of Mullen et al., 2007.
