Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
DH235 zyg-8(b235) III. Temperature sensitive. Egg lethal. Abnormal first cleavage. Maternal effect (m,n).
EU924 zyg-8(or484) III; lin-2(e1309) X. Temperature-sensitive. Maintain at 15C. Reference: Gonczy P, et al. Dev Cell. 2001 Sep;1(3):363-75.
EU931 zyg-8(or490) III; lin-2(e1309) X. Maintain at 15C. Temperature-sensitive embryonic-lethal at restrictive temperature of 26C. Viable embryos at permissive temperature of 15C. Mitotic spindle in one-cell stage embryo assembles normally, but microtubules destabilize at anaphase and spindle becomes mis-positioned toward the posterior pole leading to highly abnormal cleavage and chromosome segregation defects.
