[C.elegansII] e524ts,sd : irregular loopy movement, sometimes coiling, active; grows well.e524/+ weak coiler at 25C. ES2 ME2. OA1 (sd): n493sd (curly, uncoordinated, non-ts). Revertants e.g. n493n1170ird have recessive lethal phenotype, early L1 arrest (probable null phenotype). OA7 (ird) 8. Also lethal alleles, OA>5: s115, s1406,s1639 etc. (all early/mid larval lethals, dominant weak Unc). Dominance of many alleles strongly enhanced by smg background.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-70 encodes two isoforms of a beta-spectrin ortholog required for normal body curvature and shape, normal movement, and correct localization of the alpha-spectrin SPC-1; the predominant UNC-70 isoform is expressed in all embryonic cells except the intestine, at the plasma membrane at sites of intercellular contact; UNC-70 becomes largely restricted to muscles and neurons from hatching to adulthood, with expression in adult spermetheca and hypodermis as well; conversely, the minor isoform is predominantly expressed in gut, and is also apposed to intercellular membrane junctions in embryos; sma-1 mutations (which impair the one beta-H-spectrin ortholog in C. elegans) enhance the unc-70 phenotype; UNC-70 is dispensable for viability (under undemanding laboratory culture conditions).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000914

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite development; embryonic body morphogenesis; and muscle cell cellular homeostasis. Located in cell junction; contractile fiber; and lateral plasma membrane. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 14; hereditary spherocytosis type 2; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 5. Is an ortholog of human SPTB (spectrin beta, erythrocytic).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
