CC-1034 pf16 mt+

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, 1980

Phenotype: impaired motility

Luck’s stock of this mutant was obtained from George Witman, and is presumed to be the original allele isolated by Lewin. This strain is Luck’s derivative pf16.28A+. Two allelic mutants were isolated in Luck’s laboratory, of which one is in our collection (CC-2510). Also see CC-3896 for a temperature-sensitive allele.

This mutation is in a gene encoding a flagellar central apparatus protein. The mutant phenotype is easy to score.
