VC590 C. elegans wts-1(ok753) I/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). Show Description
T20F10.1. Homozygous viable 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 ok753 homozygotes (slow-growing, Egl, some animals mildly Unc). 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.

DV3651 C. elegans his-72(erb77[his-72::linker::mTurquoise2]) III; yap-1(re269[yap-1::mNeonGreen::2xFLAG]) X. Show Description
mTurqoise2 tag with linker sequence inserted into endogenous his-72 locus. mNeonGreen::2xFLAG tag inserted into endogenous yap-1 locus. Ubiquitous yellow fluorescence (488 nm or 514 nm) is cytosolic with modest nuclear signal and strong exclusion from nucleoli, but translocates to nuclei upon disruption of upstream Hippo pathway components. Deficiency of cst-1/2 (Hippo/MST) causes translocation into nuclei of all hypodermal cells, deficiency of wts-1 (Warts/LATS) causes translocation into nuclei of all cell types observed. YAP-1::mNG::2xFLAG may be non-functional, as endogenous tag blocks lethality conferred by deficiency of WTS-1. References: Huynh L, et al. BioRxiv. 2025 Aug 29:2025.08.22.671798. doi: 10.1101/2025.08.22.671798. PMID: 40909657. Sloan DE & Bembenek JN. MicroPubl Biol. 2021 Sep 29:2021:10.17912/micropub.biology.000471. PMID: 34604717.
DV4186 C. elegans his-72(erb77[his-72::linker::mTurquoise2]) III; yap-1(re269[yap-1::mNeonGreen::2xFLAG]) reDf4 X. Show Description
Mild uncharacterized Unc. reDf4 is a deletion of the tandemly duplicated cst-1 and cst-2 loci as well as intervening ncRNAs. Ubiquitous yellow fluorescence (488 nm or 514 nm) is cytosolic with modest nuclear signal and strong exclusion from nucleoli, but translocates to nuclei upon disruption of upstream Hippo pathway components. Deficiency of cst-1/2 (Hippo/MST) causes translocation into nuclei of all hypodermal cells. YAP-1::mNG::2xFLAG may be non-functional, as endogenous tag blocks lethality conferred by deficiency of WTS-1. References: Huynh L, et al.

DV4290 C. elegans wts-1(re419[mTurquoise2::2xMYC::AID*::wts-1]) I; ieSi57 II; unc-119(ed3) III. Show Description
ieSi57 [eft-3p::TIR1::mRuby::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. mTurquoise2::2xMYC::AID* tag inserted into endogenous wts-1 locus. Single copy transgene inserted into chromosome II (oxTi179) expressing modified Arabidopsis thaliana TIR1 tagged with mRuby in the soma. This strain can be used for auxin-inducible degradation (AID) of WTS-1 in somatic tissues. Auxin treatment causes growth delay. Auxin treatment coupled with wts-1(RNAi) causes L2 growth arrest. Ubiquitous red fluorescence. Blue WTS-1 fluorescence never detected. References: Huynh L, et al. BioRxiv. 2025 Aug 29:2025.08.22.671798. doi: 10.1101/2025.08.22.671798. PMID: 40909657.
