CC-1390 fla2 mt-

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, February 1983

Phenotype: impaired motility

This locus appears to be linked to FLA1, but not on linkage group IX as previously reported. The fla2 mutant does not assemble flagella at 34 degrees, and flagella previously formed become unstable at this temperature. This mutation affects retrograde intraflagellar transport.
