From Gianni Piperno, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, June 2001

Phenotype: impaired motility

The fla17 mutant was isolated by Piperno in the 137c background, after mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine. It shows temperature-conditional flagellar assembly, and was shown to be specifically defective in retrograde intraflagellar transport. Iomini et al. found that it is an in-frame deletion of three exons of the IFT139 gene.
