Legacy_information[C.elegansII] Deletion exhibits pharyngeal pumping defect,10% reach fertile adulthood (most males reach adulthood). Deletion of both mlc-1 and mlc-2 leads to lethal arrest as short lumpy paralysed L1/L2. Resembles mammalian non-muscle MLC; expressed in both pharynx and body wall; SL1transpliced.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmlc-2 encodes, along with mlc-1 and mlc-4, one of three C. elegans regulatory myosin light chains; MLC-2 is predicted to function as a regulator of myosin ATPase activity, and genetic studies indicate that MLC-2 is nearly essential in hermaphrodites for normal pharyngeal muscle function, but redundant with MLC-1, with which it is nearly identical, for proper bodywall muscle development; accordingly, loss of mlc-2 activity eventually results in larval lethality, as animals are not able to feed properly; mlc-2 mRNA is expressed in bodywall, pharyngeal, and vulval muscles.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003259

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable myosin heavy chain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nematode larval development; regulation of muscle contraction; and regulation of pharyngeal pumping. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; pharyngeal muscle cell; pharynx; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 1C and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 10. Is an ortholog of human MYL10 (myosin light chain 10); MYL5 (myosin light chain 5); and MYL7 (myosin light chain 7).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
