C50C3.6. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP gk3511 homozygotes (early larval arrest). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: ACAACAACTGGGAAACTCCG. External right primer: ACTGAACATGGGCATCAACA. Internal left primer: AATTACGAAATCGCCGTTTG. Internal right primer: TCTCTGCACAAATGGAATGC. Internal WT amplicon: 2731 bp. Deletion size: 1823 bp. Deletion left flank: TTTTTTTTAAGTTGGACAGTTTTTAAAGTT. Deletion right flank: GCAACTTGAAAGCAGTGAGTTATTTACAAG.

Partial loss of function allele. prp-8(cer22[R2303G]) point mutation mimics a mutation identified in a Retinitis Pigmentosa patient. Slow growth (Gro). Reference: Kukhtar D, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2020 Mar 27;29(5):756-765. doi: 10.1093/hmg/ddz315. PMID: 31919495

prp-8(az29) is a G654E missense mutation. az29 is a CRISPR-induced mutation mimicking a known suppressor of unc-73(e936). It changes cryptic splicing of e936 to allow for an increase in full-length unc-73 expression. Reference: Mayerle M, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2019 Feb 5;116(6):2193-2199. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1819020116. PMID: 30674666.

prp-8(az50) is a T524S missense allele that affects cryptic splicing (5'ss choice) of unc-73(e936) to allow more UNC-73 protein to be produced. PRP-8 is the largest protein in the spliceosome (essential) with a role in all stages of splicing. Reference: Mayerle M, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2019 Feb 5;116(6):2193-2199. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1819020116. PMID: 30674666.

prp-8(az117) is a CRISPR-engineered R540K missense allele that suppress unc-73(e936) uncoordination through activation of an in-frame cryptic 5'ss. Reference: Cartwright-Acar CH, et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2022 Nov 11;50(20):11834-11857. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkac991. PMID: 36321655.

prp-8(az119) is a D1549N missense allele. az119 is a CRISPR-induced mutation mimicking a known suppressor of unc-73(e936). az119 suppresses unc-73(e936) uncoordination through activation of cryptic splicing that promotes full length UNC-73 production. Reference: Cartwright-Acar CH, et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2022 Nov 11;50(20):11834-11857. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkac991. PMID: 36321655.
