gene: nsun-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables rRNA (cytosine-C5-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular response to heat; negative regulation of locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and positive regulation of reproductive process. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Expressed widely. Used to study Williams-Beuren syndrome. Is an ortholog of human NOP2 (NOP2 nucleolar protein).
