Strain Genotype Species Description
WH170 eff-1(oj55) II. C. elegans Loss of cell fusion in hypodermis (epithelial fusion failures). Viable and fertile as homozygotes. Tail-spike defect in all young larvae, less visible in older larvae and adults. oj55 appears to cause incomplete loss of function, as many cells fuse in postembryonic development. Homozygous males have tail and mating defects. ES-3. Cloned: ORF C26D10.5 encodes a type-I membrane glycoprotein with a single TM domain.
WH171 eff-1(oj55) II; jcIs1 IV. C. elegans jcIs1 [ajm-1::GFP + unc-29(+) + rol-6(su1006)] IV. Loss of cell fusion in hypodermis (epithelial fusion failures). Viable and fertile as homozygotes. Tail-spike defect in all young larvae, less visible in older larvae and adults. oj55 appears to cause incomplete loss of function, as many cells fuse in postembryonic development. Homozygous males have tail and mating defects. ES=3. Cloned: ORF C26D10.5 encodes a type-I membrane glycoprotein with a single TM domain. ajm-1 was formerly known as jam-1 (Junction Associated Protein) and "the gene encoding the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody MH27." jcIs1 consists of pJS191, C45D3 and pRF4.
