Strain Information

Name CZ25708   View On Wormbase
Species C. elegans
Genotypeprg-1(ju1574) I.
DescriptionTemperature sensitive sterility: maintain at 15-20C. prg-1(ju1574) mutant animals become sterile at the fifth generation grown at 25C. prg-1(ju1574) contains two mutations in the PIWI domain active site (RNaseH/slicer) [D583A, Y585A]. Mutation of the first conserved aspartate of the catalytic triad (D-D-H motif) to alanine (D583A) created an A-D-H motif which abolishes slicer activity in Argonaute proteins.
