tin-9.2 encodes two disjoint protein products from a dicistronic mRNA: 1) one of two C. elegans members of the Tin9 family of mitochondrial import proteins and, 2) a predicted Rrp41 subunit of the exosomal 3'-5' exoribonuclease complex (B0564.1); TIN-9.2 is required for normal fertility, body size, time of reproductive onset, and distal tip cell migration and somatic gonad development; TIN-9.2 localizes to mitochondria.
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Involved in inductive cell migration; regulation of growth; and reproduction. Located in mitochondrion. Is an ortholog of human TIMM10B (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 10B).
tin-9.2 was formerly incorrectly connected to CDS B0564.1. This CDS has subsequently been made into two splice variants (.1a & .1b) and tin-9.2 is now correctly connected to .1b
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.
