PhenotypeWBPhenotype:0000643RemarkThis RNAi was able to suppress the locomotion phenotypes found in L-AChR(gf) animals. L-AChR(gf) enhances synaptic activation of muscles by increasing L-AChR function.
RemarkThe authors wanted to enhance synaptic activation of muscles by increasing L-AChR function, thus they introduced an amino acid change at a highly conserved position in the pore-lining M2 regions of cDNAs encoding the UNC-29, UNC-38 and LEV-1 subunits. They constructed a strain (ufIs6) stably expressing the unc-29(L/S), unc-38(V/S) and lev-1(L/S) cDNAs under control of the muscle-specific myo-3 promoter, and refer to this as L-AChR(gf).
