CC-1398 sup-pf2 mt-

$30.00

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, February 1983 his isolation number ncs-3R4

The sup-pf2 mutant was isolated in a pf24 strain by Huang et al., and was originally characterized as a mutation in the spoke specific suppressor system, which restores motility to radial spoke- and central-pair defective mutants without altering spoke or central pair defects. It was subsequently shown to be an allele at the ODA2 locus, corresponding to the gene encoding the gamma heavy chain of the outer dynein arm.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the original sup-pf2 allele.
