4. Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites were observed using a Zeiss Axioplan microscope equipped with a Plan 100 objective and Nomarski differential interference contrast optics. Images were captured with a Hamamatsu Photonics C5810 Color Chilled 3-CCD Camera connected to a Macintosh G3 computer.
5. The mig-17 gene was mapped to the right of the Bergerac Tc1 polymorphism bP1 on linkage group V by polymerase chain reaction-sequence tagged site (PCR-STS) mapping. Three-factor mapping placed mig-17 between bP1 and daf-11. Two cosmid clones, T26H10 and F57B7, were found to rescue mig-17(k174). Four coding regions were predicted to lie within the region common to T26H10 and F57B7 by the C. elegans genome sequencing consortium computer analysis. The 5′ terminus of the mig-17 message was analysed using the 5′ RACE System (rapid amplification of cDNA ends; Life Technologies).

9. Mutants were isolated by ethylmethane sulfonate mutagenesis. The mig-17 alleles k135, k147, k167, and k176 were obtained by visual screening of mutants with ventral white-patch phenotypes.

13. To construct the mig-17::GFP fusion, a 3645-base pair (bp) Sma I-Afl III mig-17 fragment from the cosmid F57B7 was fused to a Bam HI-Spe I DNA fragment of the GFP plus unc-54 3′ untranslated region from pPD95.75 using appropriate synthetic oligonucleotides. This construct contained 1141 bp of the mig-17 upstream sequence and the 2533-bp mig-77 coding region and all introns. For constructions of unc-54p::mig-17::GFP and lag-2p::mig-17::GFP, the mig-17::GFP coding sequence was placed downstream of the unc-54 promoter from pPD52.102 and the lag-2 promoter from pRB1, respectively. Cosmid clones were co-injected at 10 to 50 μg/ml together with the pMK107 plasmid (100 μg/ml), which contains the EF1α promoter fused to GFP. Plasmid constructs were injected at 100 μg/ml with 50 μg/ml pBR322 either with or without 50 μg/ml unc-119(+) plasmid, pDP#MM016B [M. Maduro and D. Pilgrim, Genetics 141, 977 (1995)].
14. Sonicated worm lysates were incubated with anti-GFP monoclonal antibody (Clontech) in a buffer containing 50 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, 5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 μg/ml leupeptin, and 1 μg/ml pepstatin at 4°C for 3 hours. Samples were precipitated with protein A-Sepharose beads (Pharmacia). Immunoprecipitates were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-GFP antibody.

23. In mig-17(k174); gon-1(q518) double mutants, DTCs did not migrate at all. In mig-17(k174)/mig-17(k174); gon-1(q518)/+ animals, DTC migration defects of mig-17(k174) mutants were not enhanced.
