Tetrahymena Stock Center| Stock ID | SD01428 |
| Strain Name | IA223 |
| AKA | |
| Species | T. thermophila |
| Genetic Description | psmA-1/psmA-1 (psmA-1; IV) |
| MAC Knockins/outs | |
| MIC Knockins/outs | |
| Gene of Interest | PSMA (pseudomacrostome A) |
| Origin | Fifth-generation progeny derived from an assortant in turn derived from nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of B1868 VI x VII in 1974. Crosses intervening between the original assortant and the eventual IA223 homozygote include two outcrosses to B1868 VII and B1975 III followed by crosses between heterozygous progeny, and one genomic exclusion cross. |

J Embryol Exp Morphol 82:41-66. Briefly described in Frankel J. 2008. What do genic mutations tell us about the structural patterning of a complex single-celled organism? Eukaryot Cell 7(10):1617-39, (p. 1626-7 and Fig. 10). |
| Comments | Elongated phenotype with development of large oral-replacement or misplaced cell division oral primordia. Located on chromosome 5. There were other segregating mutations present, and viability problems. IA223 is reliably 100% penetrant even at 28 degrees, with medium-dependent forms of expression, which is reduced at lower temperatures. This clone probably contains an uncharacterized enhancer, since a sibling homozygote, IA222 (psmA-1/psmA-1 III), has a similar phenotype but with much lower penetrance.
