Comments: Unique multi-cloning sites: Nhe I, Sbf I, Kpn I/ Age I/ Xho I, Bgl II
This vector is the same as KG#59, except the Sal I and Acc I sites of the multi-cloning site have been replaced with a Sbf I site.
Synthesized 2 complementary oligos containing Nhe I and Age I sticky ends and Sbf I and Kpn I sites in between. Hybridization of the 2 oligos to each other will produce Nhe I and Age I sticky ends. After hybridization, this synthetic insert (which is non-phosphorylated on its 5' termini) was cloned into Nhe I/ Age I cut KG#59. Transformed into XL1-Blue electrocompetent cells. Miniprepped 6 clones and tested for the Sbf I site by cutting with Sbf I. Chose one clone that has the Sbf I site with correct band size (and only a single band) and made the glycerol stock.
Features of the expression construct: This expression construct has a promoter (rab-3) that will drive strong and specific expression (of whatever gene is inserted in the MCS) in the entire nervous system of juvenile and adult animals. The boundaries of the rab-3 promoter sequence were obtained by examining pRabGFPrim3' from Mike Nonet's lab web site and comparing that to the genome sequence. Other features of the expression vector include a "decoy" 5' to the promoter to reduce non-specific expression in the gut (see Fire Lab 1995 Kit documentation for description), the unc-54 3' end including the poly A addition signal, and 3 introns (1 in 5' UTR, 1 just upstream of the unc-54 3' end, and 1 inserted in the unc-54 3' end). These introns help provide more uniform and robust expression, especially if you are expressing a cDNA with no introns as opposed to a gene with introns.
Note: this vector can be converted to a vector that fuses GFP, YFP, or CFP onto the C-terminus of the protein as follows:
Remove the ~1000 bp (Kpn I or Age I) + (Spe I or BsiW I [expensive, 55 C cutter with 50% activity at 37 C; heat inactivate 80 C] or Apa I) fragment containing the unc-54 3’ control region from this plasmid and replace it with the ~1800 bp like-digested fragment containing 3-intron S65C GFP (see pPD94.81 in Fire Lab plasmids), YFP (see pPD136.64 in Fire Lab plasmids) or CFP (see pPD136.61 in Fire Lab plasmids) + the unc-54 3’ UTR and control region. Note if Spe I is used to cut these Fire Lab vectors, you get 3 bands: 1100, 1800, and 4000 (total size 6.9 Kb). The 1800 bp band is the XFP-containing band.
For C-terminal fusions, remember to leave the stop codon off of the upstream protein. For the above-mentioned Fire Lab vectors, the reading frame for the downstream XFP relative to the Kpn I and Age I sites is as follows (triplets are the reading frame codons):
Kpn I
G GTA CCG GT
Age I
Alternatively, use Gibson Assembly/ NEBuilder to insert any genetically encoded fluorescent protein at the N- or C-terminus of your protein.

Used Apa I/ Msc I to cut out the ~1900 bp GFP/ 3' control region from RM#349p, leaving the 5900 bp vector fragment containing the unc-17 full promoter + remaining vector sequences. To this vector fragment, we ligated the 1079 bp Apa I/ Msc I fragment cut from pPD96.52 (C. elegans body wall muscle expression vector). Picked 6 colonies for minipreps. Chose 1 clone with correct size insert and made glycerol stock.
Features of the expression construct: This is a C. elegans expression vector with the unc-17 3.2 Kb promoter + a large MCS for cloning in cDNAs. Includes cha-1/unc-17 upstream region from Sna-1 (=Bst1107 I = GTA/TAC) down to first half of the 66 bp first exon (which is common to unc-17 and cha-1 transcripts but is not translated). Includes beta site so that expression occurs in most cholinergic cells. Expression still missing from VC's and some cholinergic head and tail neurons. In this construct the GFP/ 3' control region of RM#349p is replaced with the MCS II + 3' control region of pPD96.52. This includes the unc-54 3' end including the poly A addition signal, and 3 introns (1 in 5' UTR, 1 just upstream of the unc-54 3' end, and 1 inserted in the unc-54 3' end).

Comments: We used Herculase II polymerase and primers engineered with restriction sites to amplify the 1.2 Kb ctns-1 cDNA "a" isoform (minus its stop codon and in frame with downstream RFP) from KG#354 and cloned it into Nhe I/ Age I cut KG#240 (7.2 Kb; unc-129::____-mCherry). Transformed into XL1-Blue electrocompetent cells. Qiagen miniprepped 2 clones to find those with correct insert, then confirmed insert by sequencing.

Features of the construct: ctns-1a is a marker for lysosomes. An AAAA precedes the start codon for a good consensus ribosome binding site. This expression construct has a promoter (unc-129::) that will drive strong and specific expression (of whatever gene is inserted in the MCS) in 9 DA/ DB cholinergic neurons of the ventral nerve cord. The unc-129 promoter sequence includes the region from the native Sma I site (2.6 Kb upstream of the start codon) down to the 7th nucleotide before the A of the ATG. This includes a 19 bp 5' UTR (out of 25 bp 5' UTR total). The stop codon is left off of the ctns-1 cDNA for in-frame fusion to the downstream RFP (mCherry). The Age I site encodes 2 amino acids that are in frame with the downstream RFP. There is an CAG following the restriction site that is not part of the following intron. The restriction site + these 3 nucleotides will code for the amino acids Thr, Gly, and Gln and those last 3 nucleotides (CAG) provide a good consensus for preceding an intron. After this is the 44 bp intron 3 from T07H6.4 followed by the mCherry cDNA sequence (711 bp; no further introns; this is the mCherry cDNA obtained directly from the Tsien lab at UCSD) and stop codon, then the unc-54 3' control region with the 2 introns (1 just upstream of the unc-54 sequence and 1 in the unc-54 sequence) in it because the Apa I site is the 3' boundary of all of this. This vector also includes the 5' UTR intron found in most Fire lab vectors. Another feature of the expression vector include a "decoy" 5' to the promoter to reduce non-specific expression in the gut (see Fire Lab 1995 Kit documentation for description).

We used Pst I/ Bam H I to cut out the ~1200 bp rab-3 promoter from KG#208, leaving the 3700 bp vector fragment. To this vector fragment, we ligated the 2600 bp Pst I/ Bam H I unc-129 promoter fragment cut from KG#230. Picked 4 colonies for minipreps. Chose 1 clone with correct size insert and made glycerol stock.
Features of the expression construct: This is the same as KG#230 except it has a Not I site between the Xho I and Bgl II sites in the MC.
Features of the expression construct: This expression construct has a promoter (unc-129::) that will drive strong and specific expression (of whatever gene is inserted in the MCS) in 9 of the DA/ DB cholinergic neurons of the ventral nerve cord. unc-129 promoter sequence includes the region from the native Sma I site (2.6 Kb upstream of the start codon) down to the 7th nucleotide before the A of the ATG. This includes a 19 bp 5' UTR (out of 25 bp 5' UTR total). This promoter is a shortened version of the unc-129 promoter. This shortened version drives expression in 9 ventral cord motor neurons that Sieburth et al identified as the DA's. The promoter itself is described in Colavita et al., 1998, although they claim expression in both DA's and DB's. The DA motor neurons form NMJ's in the dorsal nerve cord and receive synaptic inputs in the ventral cord (therefore proteins localized to the ventral cord would be dendritically localized/ postsynaptic). Other features of the expression vector include a "decoy" 5' to the promoter to reduce non-specific expression in the gut (see Fire Lab 1995 Kit documentation for description), the unc-54 3' end including the poly A addition signal, and 3 introns (1 in 5' UTR, 1 just upstream of the unc-54 3' end, and 1 inserted in the unc-54 3' end).
