CC-1029 pf6 mt+

$30.00

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, 1980

Phenotype: impaired motility

Luck obtained this mutant from Chua who got it from Levine. This stock is derivative pf6.4D+.

Cells of this mutant ijiggle but cannot swim. Wargo et al. determined that it lacks the C1a projection on the central pair microtubules, and that it is also defective in calcium-induced modulation of dynein activity on specific doublet microtubules.
