Adults are Unc - reduced motility; disorganization of myofilament lattice in body wall muscle cells by polarized light microscopy; abnormal accululations of F-actin near muscle cell-cell boundaries.

Slow moving Unc. Body muscle abnormal. Slightly small.

C06A5.7a. Homozygous sterile 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 ok1210 homozygotes (grotty sterile). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the international C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

GFP tag inserted in endogenous unc-94 locus; specifically tags UNC-94A isoform. Green fluorescence is visible by compound microscopy as striations in body wall muscles, as elongated puncta in single-sarcomere (anal depressor, uterine, and vulval) muscles, as well as the cell bodies of two neurons. Not visible on fluorescent dissection microscopes. Outcrossed parental strain RSL3 with N2. Please contact Ryan Littlefield prior to publishing work using this strain.
