adEx1750 [pmk-3::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick Rollers to maintain. Nuclear GFP in anterior and posterior intestine. [NOTE: adEx1750 contains a F42G8.4::GFP reporter construct. This array had been previously described as carrying a pmk-1::GFP reporter; the description of the array was updated in CGC records ~2016. islo-1, pmk-3, pmk-2, and pmk-1 are in an operon. The order of genes was described in Berman et al. as [pmk-1(F42G8.4)->pmk-2(F42G8.3)->pmk-3(B0218.3)], but the official WormBase gene names were assigned in reverse order [pmk-1(B0218.3)->pmk-2(F42G8.3)->pmk-3(F42G8.4)].
