Legacy_informatione408 : slow slightly rippling movement poor backing thin; old adults Egl almost paralysed tend to shrink and relax when prodded; larvae move better. ES3 (adult) ME0. NA3 (e266 e755).
Also gain-of-function allele n498sd : paralysed n498/+ less severe; revertants e.g. n498n1179 have recessive uncoordinated phenotype.

[Reiner D]] Mac-m (Muscle ACtivation-Mixed)
[Reiner D] n498sd is Daf-c at 27C.
[Reiner D] The egg-laying phenotype of loss-of-function unc-43mutations is strong egg laying constitutive, where animals lay eggs of a very early stage. All unc-43 loss-of-function alleles confer echo defecation cycles: reiterated activation of motor program components. Furthermore, unc-43(lof) mutations have defects in locomotion motivation. The are lazy (motionless), followed by sharp jerks of the body.
[C.elegansII] e408 : slow, lazy, slightly rippling movement poor backing thin; almost paralysed, tends to shrink and relax when prodded; larvae move better; Egl-c.ES3 (adult) ME1. OA>5: e266 (similar Unc, Egl-c, echo in defecation cycle; exhibits muscle activation defects in some tissues, muscle hyperactivation in others), e300 (shorter than e408, shrinking more marked), e755, sa200 (pka dec-8, weaker allele, Dec non-Unc;sa200/Df is Unc). Also gain-of-function allele: n498sd small, almost paralysed, Egl; Daf-c at 27C; n498/+ less severe). Intragenic revertants e.g. n498n1179 have recessive uncoordinated phenotype.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-43 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of type II calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII); unc-43 activity is required for a number of processes, including locomotion, neuronal cell fate specification and regulation of synaptic density, egg laying, defecation, and meiotic maturation; in regulating some of these processes, unc-43 acts in concert with MAPKKK and G protein signaling pathways; UNC-43 is expressed in neurons, oocytes, and gonadal sheath cells; UNC-43 can regulate the activity of the EGL-2 ether-a-go-go potassium channel with which it physically interacts.Paper_evidence (11)

Automated_descriptionEnables calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity; identical protein binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in MAPK cascade; medium-term memory; and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within serotonin biosynthetic process. Located in axon cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including AWC; copulatory spicule; gonadal sheath cell; oocyte; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; intellectual disability (multiple); and malignant astrocytoma. Is an ortholog of human CAMK2D (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II delta).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
