pud-2.2, along with pud-2.1, encodes a 17.4 kDa protein (CE16999) with unknown function that is seven-fold more abundant in glp-1 mutant hermaphrodites (which lack a germline) than in normal hermaphrodites; in addition, the protein products of PUD-2.2/PUD-2.1 are more abundant in daf-2 mutant vs. wild-type adults during a temperature shift from 15 to 25 degrees C; pud-2.2(RNAi) animals have no obvious mutant phenotype (i.e., they have no obvious defect in fertility or germline maintenance); the PUD-2.2/PUD-2.1 proteins belong to a nematode-specific family including the paralogs PUD-1.1, PUD-1.2, PUD-3, and PUD-4.
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.
