Strain Genotype Species Description
BR5486 byIs162; bkIs10. C. elegans byIs162 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280(I277P)(I308P) + myo-2p::mCherry]. bkIs10 [aex-3p::h4R1NtauV337M + myo-2p::GFP]. Strain co-expressing the F3(delta)K280 anti-aggregation Tau fragment (with two I to P substitutions) and full-length Tau in all neurons. Red and green fluorescence in the pharynx due to the co-injection markers. The F3/2P fragment is not able to nucleate aggregation of full length Tau. bkIs10 contains an integrated transgene encoding the 1N4R isoforms of human tau with the 337M FTDP-17 mutation. Expression is driven by the pan-neuronal promoter aex-3. Over-expression of this transgene results in a pronounced Unc phenotype. Reference: Fatouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.
BR5706 byIs193; bkIs10. C. elegans byIs193 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280 + myo-2p::mCherry]. bkIs10 [aex-3p::hTau V337M + myo-2p::GFP]. Worms have severe locomotion defect and slow growth. Reference: Fatuouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.
BR6427 byIs194; bkIs10. C. elegans byIs194 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280 I277P I380P + myo-2p::mCherry]. bkIs10 [aex-3p::hTau V337M + myo-2p::GFP]. Tau anti-aggregation double transgenic line generated by crossing byIs194 x bkIs10. Normal locomotion. Reference: Fatuouros C, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2012 Aug 15;21(16):3587-603.
BR6563 byIs161; bkIs10. C. elegans byIs161 [rab-3p::F3(delta)K280 + myo-2p::mCherry]. bkIs10 [aex-3p::h4R1NtauV337M + myo-2p::GFP]. Strain co-expressing the F3(delta)K280 pro-aggregation Tau fragment and full-length Tau in all neurons. Worms have severe locomotion defect and slow growth. Red and green fluorescence in the pharynx due to the co-injection markers. bkIs10 contains an integrated transgene encoding the 1N4R isoforms of human tau with the 337M FTDP-17 mutation. Expression is driven by the pan-neuronal promoter aex-3. Over-expression of this transgene results in a pronounced Unc phenotype. Derived by additional outcrossing of BR5485.
