[C.elegansII] NMK. Upstream in operon with kin-13. Encodes predicted 385 aa novel protein. Antibody stains nuclei of most cells. [Zorio et al. 1994; CR]
kup-1 encodes a novel protein that is conserved in C. briggsae, but contains no other known homologs; kup-1 is the upstream gene in an operon with pkc-1, which encodes two protein kinase C isoforms of the nPKC isotype; the polycistronic kup-1/pkc-1 mRNA is detected at low levels in embryos and larvae, but its expression greatly increases in adults; as loss of kup-1 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of kup-1 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
Enriched in several structures, including AVK; MSaapaapa; accessory cell; anterior arcade cell; and g2 based on RNA-seq; single-cell RNA-seq; and microarray studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; glp-1; and gld-1 based on microarray; tiling array; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by thirteen chemicals including rotenone; mianserin; and Zidovudine based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: Phosphorylation site.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
