From William Inwood and Sydney Kustu, UC Berkeley, January 2005

Phenotype: inhibitor resistant (methylammonium)

This is a spontaneous methylammonium-resistant mutant isolated in the 4A+ background (CC-4051). CR49 has an insertion of a 5-kb fragment of a TOC1 transposon into exon 5 of the AMT4 gene, encoding an ammonium transport protein. This insertion leads to translation of a truncated Amt4 polypeptide of 430 amino acid residues. Strain CR49 has an Amt4 null phenotype.
