CC-3751 fa2-1 mt+

From Lynne Quarmby and Rip Finst, Emory University, November 1999
Phenotype: impaired flagellar autotomy
Like fa1 (see CC-1370), the fa2 mutants are defective in flagellar autotomy, and fail to sever outer microtuble doublets in response to calcium. The FA2 gene encodes a NIMA-related kinase.
