ajIs1 [rCesC05A9.1::GFP + dpy-5(+)] X. GFP expression driven by 300bp sequence upstream of pgp-5 gene. Weak intestinal fluorescence is visible under normal conditions. Derived by insertion of sEx864 in parental strain BC10030. Pathogens, heavy metals, and toxins (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cadmium, G418) further induce GFP expression. dpy-5(e907) was likely removed by outcrossing, but might still be in the background.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, dead eggs and Uncs. At 25C the Unc Spds are Sterile; at 16C the Unc Spds are fertile but produce mostly dead eggs. Unc Spd animals will exhibit a fully penetrant maternal-effect embryonic lethal phenotype if shifted to 25C at the L4 stage. unc-13 spd-2 homozygotes may be propagated at 16C but may become sick causing immense frustration!

Loss of cell fusion in hypodermis (epithelial fusion failures). Viable and fertile as homozygotes. Tail-spike defect in all young larvae, less visible in older larvae and adults. oj55 appears to cause incomplete loss of function, as many cells fuse in postembryonic development. Homozygous males have tail and mating defects. ES-3. Cloned: ORF C26D10.5 encodes a type-I membrane glycoprotein with a single TM domain.

Homozygous males have tail and mating defects. ES=3. Cloned: ORF C26D10.5 encodes a type-I membrane glycoprotein with a single TM domain. ajm-1 was formerly known as jam-1 (Junction Associated Protein) and "the gene encoding the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody MH27." jcIs1 consists of pJS191, C45D3 and pRF4.

Heterozygotes have myo-2::GFP [qIs48] strongly expressed in the pharynx and are viable at 25C. 100% of sep-1 homozygotes are strongly Sterile Unc at 25C (at 20C, 100% are Sterile but no so Unc). Up to 30% of the homozygotes are Sterile at 16C. hT2[qIs48] homozygotes are dead. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype.
