Effects of unc-60B(su158) and expression of UNC-60B variants on contractility and actin organization in the body wall muscle

Genotype	Worm motility (beating/30 sec ± s.d., n=20)	Rescue of actin organization^* (%, n=50)
Wild-type	128 ± 4.33	NA
unc-60B(su158)	6.90 ± 4.00	NA
unc-60B(su158); GFP-UNC-60B(WT)	99.8 ± 15.8	100
unc-60B(su158); GFP-UNC-60B(Δ150)	1.85 ± 1.60	0
unc-60B(su158); GFP-UNC-60B(Δ152)	72.4 ± 14.2	72

When a majority of GFP-expressing muscle cells in a worm restored striated actin organization without actin aggregates, the worm was counted as “rescued”. Wild-type and unc-60B(su158) worms with no transgene had 100 % penetrant organized and disorganized actin filaments, respectively (n>200).
