Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlet-502 encodes a Rho-binding Ser/Thr kinase orthologous to human myotonic dystrophy kinase (DM-kinase); let-502 is required for early embryonic cleavages, embryonic elongation, migration of hypodermal P cells to a ventral position, normal spermathecal contraction, and fertility; LET-502 is required for hypodermal cells to properly change their shape, and is expressed in those cells, during embryonic elongation; let-502 mutations are suppressed by mel-11 mutations, and the pattern of LET-502 expression in the embryonic epidermis and the spermatheca is opposite to that of MEL-11, indicating that LET-502 and MEL-11 have opposing functions (presumably tissue contraction and relaxation); MEL-11 requires LET-502 (along with the nonmuscle myosin NMY-1) for proper localization.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002726

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; nematode larval development; and pharyngeal gland morphogenesis. Located in adherens junction; contractile fiber; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; Z2; Z3; gonad; and hypodermis. Is an ortholog of human ROCK1 (Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1) and ROCK2 (Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
