pas-6 encodes a type 1 alpha subunit of the 26S proteasome's 20S protease core particle (CP); PAS-6 is required for embryonic, larval, and germline development and by homology, is predicted to comprise the outer rings of the proteasome and to play a role in selective degradation of ubiquitinated proteins during development; in vitro, PAS-6 interacts with BRP-1, a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich domain-containing protein conserved amongst nematodes, and with other members of the proteasome.
Predicted to be involved in proteasomal protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of proteasome core complex, alpha-subunit complex. Is an ortholog of human PSMA1 (proteasome 20S subunit alpha 1).
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.
