Tetrahymena Stock Center| Stock ID | SD01516 |
| Strain Name | IA280 |
| AKA | mpA-I VII |
| Species | T. thermophila |
| Genetic Description | mpA-1/mpA-1 (mpA-1; VII) |
| MAC Knockins/outs | |
| MIC Knockins/outs | |
| Gene of Interest | MPA (membranellar pattern A) Originally published as mp/mp |
| Origin | A mpA-1/mpA-1, con1-1+/con1-1+ progeny clone derived from an A-star cross of the F1 of a previous con1-1/con1-1 mpA-1/mpA-1 (strain D) x wild-type (stain B) cross. The con-1/con-1 mpA-1/mpA-1 clone was selected by Doerder et al. (1975) following mutagenesis of D1868 cells |
| Publications | Original mp. Described in detail by Kaczanowski: Kaczanowski A. 1975. A single-gene-dependent abnormality of adoral membranelles in tetrahymena pyriformis, species 1. Genetics 81(4):631-9. Kaczanowski A. 1976. An analysis of MP gene affected morphogenesis in tetrahymena pyriformis, syngen 1, (species 1) ciliates. J Exp Zool 196(2):215-30. |
| Comments | Abnormal oral apparatuses arising during oral replacement as a consequence of incomplete joining of two membranellar subfields. Not temperature-sensitive. Kaczanowski's original description was of non-mutagenized clones of the inbred D strain, which was accidentally homozygous for the naturally-occurring mpA-1 allele. IA280 is a derived offshoot, and shows very low expression in nutrient medium. Expression under culture conditions conducive to oral replacement was not tested.
