Strains carrying this transgene

Strain Genotype Species Description
KP1287 nuIs26 IV. C. elegans nuIs26 [cat-1::GFP] IV. nuIs26 contains a full length CAT-1::GFP fusion protein (with GFP fused at the predicted carboxy terminus of CAT-1). This transgene rescues the hyperactive locomotion defect of cat-1(e1111). This strain is slightly sluggish for locomotion and has a high degree of sterility (80%), both of which appear to be associated with the transgene. GFP expression in this strain is similar to the CAT expression pattern described by Duerr et al (1999) J Neurosci 19: 72-84.
