From William Inwood and Sydney Kustu, UC Berkeley, January 2005

Phenotype: inhibitor resistant (methylammonium)

This is a spontaneous methylammonium-resistant mutant isolated in the 4A+ background (CC-4051). CR46 has an insertion of the Tcr1 transposon immediately upstream of the AMT4 translational start, leading to a duplication of the target sequence GTCGCAGG at -15 to -8. The insert is within the 5′ untranslated leader of the AMT4 transcript and CR46 retains residual Amt4 function.
