Stock IDSD01513
Strain NameIA130
AKAcdaC-5 V
SpeciesT. thermophila
Genetic DescriptioncdaC-5/cdaC-5 (cdaC-5; V)
MAC Knockins/outs
MIC Knockins/outs
Gene of InterestCDAC (cell division arrest C) Originally published as mo3e
OriginF2 following outcross to B1868 VII of an assortant derived from nitroso-guanidine mutagenesis of B1868 VI x VII in 1974.
PublicationsFrankel J, Jenkins LM, Doerder FP, Nelsen EM. 1976. Mutations affecting cell division in tetrahymena pyriformis. I. selection and genetic analysis. Genetics 83(3):489-506.
CommentsFailure to complete cytokinesis accompanied by cell elongation (high & low temperatures). Allelic to cdaC-1 (IA-119) and cdaC-2 (IA-123). High and low-temperature sensitive: Generates 100% fission blockage at 39o C and at 15o C. This and cdaC-1 are the only two of the five known mutant alleles of cdaC in which completion of cytokinesis is cold- as well as heat-sensitive.
