Egl. Intragenic revertant.

ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. unc-68 channel null.

zwIs108 [myo-3p::Myc::ryr-1 + myo-3p::GFP]. GFP is expressed in body muscles. Locomotion is similar to unc-68(r1162).

zwIs100 [rab-3p::Myc::ryr-1 + myo-3p::GFP]. GFP is expressed in body muscles. Larger and moves better than unc-68(r1162). Also called ZW64A.

DpyUnc.

ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. Slow movement at 25C; might not curl like cha-1 typically does. Very slow movement at 20C. unc-68 channel null.

syEx475 [myo-3p::unc-68(see following comments) + myo-2p::GFP + pUC-19]. Pick GFP+ animals to maintain. myo-3p::unc-68 transgene was produced by injecting pEM23 (myo-3 promoter + unc-68 exons 1-8) + 18 kb unc-86 PCR fragment (start codon through nucleotide 18090) + pLM511 (unc-68 position 11989 to the end); fragments were recombined in vivo.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs and L1 lethals. js124 homozygotes arrest as L1 larvae that are very uncoordinated and tend to adopt a coiled position. js124 molecular lesion is an amber mutation at codon 50.
