Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlite-1 encodes a eight-transmembrane protein that is a member of the invertebrate family of Gustatory receptors; LITE-1 functions in neurons as an ultraviolet light receptor required for proper avoidance (photophobic) response to short-wavelength light; ectopic expression of LITE-1 in other tissues, namely body wall and vulval muscles, is sufficient to confer light-responsive muscle contraction; genetic analyses indicate that LITE-1 can stimulate locomotion independent of G protein signaling, as LITE-1 can induce locomotion in near-paralyzed synaptic signaling mutants; further, site of action studies indicate that LITE-1 functions in one or more tail neurons to mediate this light-activated forward locomotion; rescuing LITE-1::GFP fusion proteins reveal expression in the PVT and AVG neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00032087
