From David Luck, Rockefeller University, 1980
Phenotype: impaired motility
Luck obtained the mutant from Chua who got it from Levine. This stock is Luck derivative pf3.1B+.
Cells of this strain swim slowly. The original mutant was described as difficult to mate. Elam et al. have shown that this is a mutation in the B subunit of the protein phosphatase PP2A.
