Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsop-2 encodes a SAM domain-containing protein that is related to, but not orthologous with, Polycomb group proteins and ETS transcription factors; during development, SOP-2 activity is required for the proper integration of sexual, spatial, and temporal information during cell fate specification; specifically, SOP-2 is required for maintaining a restricted pattern of Hox gene expression, such as that of mab-5 and egl-5, to specific cells and tissues such as the serotonergic and dopaminergic male tail neurons and the ventral nerve cord; in addition, SOP-2 is required for the proper sexual and temporal specification of the hypodermal seam cells; in regulating temporal fate specification, genetic analyses indicate that sop-2 acts upstream of lin-29 in the heterochronic pathway and interacts with other members of the heterochronic pathway, such as lin-4, let-7, and hbl-1, to integrate temporal information and cell fate specification; sop-2 mutations also result in an increase in ALG-1-containing P bodies in hypodermal seam cells; in regulating neurotransmitter phenotype, sop-2 functions together with sor-3, which also encodes a Polycomb group protein, and members of the TGF-beta signaling pathway; sop-2 and sor-3 also function together to regulate progression through larval development; a SOP-2::GFP reporter fusion is expressed in the nuclei of all somatic cells beginning at the 50-cell stage of embryogenesis; SOP-2::GFP expression is initially diffuse, but by the 200-cell stage is visible in distinct nuclear bodies, the size and number of which may correlate with DNA content.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005924

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytoplasmic mRNA processing body assembly; neuron differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nuclear speck.

RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
