Legacy_informationmn181 : larval lethal. NA2 (mn184).
[Labouesse M] F31B8 was injected into a heterozyte ahrboring a new let-253 allele n2142 dpy-10(e128) let-253(n2142) unc-4(e120)/mnC1 together with a dpy-10(+) plasmid provided by J.Kramer; injections with C24G10 and C18D9 were done in the let-253(mn181) unc-4 (e120)/mnC1 background using rol-6(su1006) as the marker. Other injections with subclones of cosmid K06E5 confirmed let-253 not to be under K06E5.
[C.elegansII] mn181 : larval lethal; some embryonic and larval death or very slow growth to Egl adult.Severe constipation; most intestinal nuclei fail to divide in L1. OA2: mn184, n2142. Cloned: cosmid rescue (F31B8). [Sigurdson et al. 1984; SP; ML]
Complementation_data[Labouesse M] F31B8 (2 F2 recued lines/3 lines); C24G10 (9 F2 rescued lines/13 F2 lines);C18D9 (0 F2 rescued lines/6 F2 lines)

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlet-253 was identified in screens for EMS-induced recessive lethal mutations on chromosome II; let-253 mutations result in low levels of embryonic and larval lethality with survivors exhibiting very slow growth and egg-laying defects upon reaching adulthood; let-253 mutant animals are severely constipated and display a failure of intestinal nuclear divisions in the L1 larval stage.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000715

Remark[Labouesse M] this places let-253 immediately to the right of lin-26 on LGII with the order dpy-10 lin-26 let-253 unc-4 this conclusion contradicts in part the current genetic map which shows the deficiency mnDf97 to complements let-253; data summarized above indicate that mnDf that mnDf97 breaks into C24G10 and that C24G10 complements let-253 both on the left side of C24G10. I have not repeated the cross to determine whether mnDf97 complements let-253 and I guess that my results can still be compatible with the current map.
