The CRISPR guide RNA that generated Past1M10 and Past1F15 had the same 20mer target sequence: 3R:12698125...12698144 GAAGCGCGAGAAGAACACCC Both alleles have the same two basepair deletion, missing nucleotides 3R:12698139 (A) and 3R:12698140 (C): GAAGCGCGAGAAGA _ _ ACCC The deletions were identified by amplification and sequencing 833 bp PCR products in both directions using forward primer 5’ ATAACTGCCGTAGTCGTCGC 3’ ( 3R:12697988...12698007 ) and reverse primer 5’ GGAGCCGATGTAGACACGAG 3’ ( 3R:12698851...12698870 ). These deletions are predicted to result in a frame shift and early termination codon at amino acid position 83 for both alleles. No full length or stable truncated protein was detected on westerns using a rabbit polyclonal PAST1 antibody (Figure S3 in FBrf0259199 Martin et al., 2024, PLoS Pathog. 20(3): e1011245).
