Gene Information: pde-4

Strains carrying this gene

Strain	Genotype	Description
KG744	pde-4(ce268) II.	Hyperactive locomotion and hypersensitive to stimuli such as plate dropping. Restores wild type levels of locomotion to paralyzed ric-8(md303) mutants. Most, but not all adults, appear significantly Egl-c. Some mature adults are thinner than normal. Aldicarb sensitivity, growth rate, pumping, length, and distribution on food are all similar to wild type. The ce268 mutation is a D448N change relative to PDE-4D isoform. It disrupts the catalytic domain by changing one of the four active site residues that together chelate an active site zinc atom. Inheritance is semi-dominant due to dominant negative side effects.
RB1231	pde-4(ok1290) II.	R153.1a Homozygous. Outer Left Sequence: acagcaccggcaaatatagc. Outer Right Sequence: tcgacacgctaatcgaagtg. Inner Left Sequence: agcagaacgtgcattgactg. Inner Right Sequence: ttgagcttccagacgatgtg. Inner Primer PCR Length: 3136. Estimated Deletion Size: about 1100 bp.
