Homozygous or195 hermaphrodites make 100% dead embryos at 26C. One-cell embryo has a very small but bipolar spindle, severe chromosome segregation defect. Maintain at 15C. Previously called spd-4. 2/06: From Bruce Bowerman: The or195 mutation changes base 10,679 of the cosmid clone T21E12 from a C to a T. This corresponds to dhc-1 cDNA nucleotide 9599 (WS153) , which is the center nucleotide of codon 3200. This codon changes from Serine in N2 to Leucine in or195 (S3200L). Note: this is not the same mutation for or195ts that we reported in Hamill et al, 2002(Dev Cell 3, 673-684). The mutation reported in our paper is not present in this strain. We apologize for the confusion. The pairs dhc-11a,b amplify the mutated fragment in dhc-1(or195). The mutation is near the center of this fragment; a clean (gel purified) DNA prep helps get a good read of it. dhc-11b: 5' aacagacgcacgattgacct 3'. dhc-11a: 5' ctcaaatcaaggaaggagct 3'.

HG231 exhibits an approximately 20% increase in mean, median and maxium lifespans compared to N2. HG231 exhibits somewhat reduced fertility and somewhat longer development time than N2. It has a normal appearance, movements and mating behavior. It's swimming rate in liquid is slightly higher than N2. STS mapping indicates the most likely location for age-2 is on LG I.

This double mutant exhibits a doubling of both mean and maximum lifespans at 25C compared to N2. It exhibits a longer lifespan at 25C than it does at 20C. It has somewhat reduced fertility. It has normal development time, appearance, movements and feeding behavior. It's swimming rate in liquid is slightly higher than N2. STS mapping indicates the most likely location for age-2 is on LG I.
