From Gianni Piperno, Rockefeller University, June 1990

Phenotype: impaired motility

This mutation was induced with nitrosoguanidine in Luck’s laboratory, and is allelic with pf22A, isolated at the same time. The pf22 mutants partially lack outer dynein arms of axonemal doublet microtubules; flagella are short in exponentially growing cells, about two-thirds of wild type length at stationary phase, and are deficient in 14 axonemal polypeptides.
