Table 5. sacy-1 alleles relevant to this study.

Allele Alteration Phenotypes Inferred activity
Loss-of-function alleles
 sacy-1(tm5503)a 619 bp deletion Sterile, gamete degeneration Likely null
 sacy-1(tn1615)b 10 bp deletion Sterile, gamete degeneration Likely null
 sacy-1(tn1385)a G533R Viable and fertile, suppresses acy-4 sterility, suppresses fog-2 sterility Reduction of function
 sacy-1(tn1391)a G473R Viable and fertile, suppresses acy-4 sterility, suppresses fog-2 sterility Reduction of function
 sacy-1(tn1440)a G331R Viable and fertile, suppresses acy-4 sterility, suppresses fog-2 sterility Reduction of function
 sacy-1(tn1482)b D506N Viable and fertile, suppresses fog-2 sterilityc Reduction of function
 sacy-1(tn1483)b G269E Viable and fertile, suppresses fog-2 sterilityc,d Reduction of function
Alleles with antagonistic activity
 sacy-1(tn1479)b G504E Sterile, adult lethal (rupture) or gamete degeneration Strong loss of function with antimorphic activity
 sacy-1(tn1480)b H527Y Viable and fertile at 20° and suppresses fog-2 sterility.c Embryonic lethal or larval arrest at 15°. Sterile and spermatogenesis-defective at 25° Loss of function with antimorphic activity, dominant Him
 sacy-1(tn1481)b P222L Sterile, masculinization of germline Recessive gain-of-function
 sacy-1(tn1887)b R534H Viable and fertile Weak antagonistic activity; enhances the dominant Him phenotype of sacy-1(tn1480)
b

This work.

c

Suppression of acy-4 sterility was not tested.

d

sacy-1(tn1483) adult hermaphrodites have smaller gonad arms, suggesting effects on germline proliferation (T. Tsukamoto and D. Greenstein, unpublished results).
