Phenotype: lacks flagella, does not mate; requires arginine

The BLD10 locus encodes a coiled-coil protein localized to the cartwheel structure at the proximal end of the basal body. Null mutants at this locus have no basal bodies or flagella. Alleles in which a truncated protein is made have abnormal basal bodies in which the 9-fold symmetry is altered.
