CC-613 pf14 mt-

From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, June 1978

Phenotype: impaired motility

This mutant is easy to score, and is an excellent marker for the right arm of linkage group VI.

The pf14 mutants lack radial spokes and are missing a set of 17 spoke-associated polypeptides. Huang and colleagues in Luck’s laboratory used dikaryon and revertant analysis to identify one of these as a probable gene product. The gene was subsequently cloned and sequenced in Rosenbaum’s laboratory, confirming identity of the gene product as radial spoke protein 3.
