WormPD data

Genetic Position	IV 4.58 (see genetic map in acedb)
Physical Location	C26H10 (see cosmid info in acedb)
Sequence	Genomic DNA: Genbank Accession U20142 Protein: Genbank Accession 644842 Graphical map and sequence in acedb
Cloned By	Ward Lab
Homologies	Kelch/Scruin repeats. Possible actin-binding domain.
Mutant Alleles	it112ts, hc138ts, hc139ts, hc140ts, eb8 Strains available from CGC
Effect of Mutations	Early spermatocyte arrest: mis-segregated chromosomes, mislocalized actin. No spermatids made. Lengthened lifespan.
