gene: zag-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; neuron differentiation; and regulation of cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature; enteric muscle; neurons; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease; Mowat-Wilson syndrome; and corneal dystrophy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ZEB1 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1) and ZEB2 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2).
sequence feature: WBsf718066
Caenorhabditis elegans This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=F28F9.1. Surounding gene organisation=tandem
