Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmlc-4 encodes, along with mlc-1 and mlc-2, one of three C. elegans regulatory myosin light chains; mlc-4 appears to encode the sole C. elegans regulatory light chain for nonmuscle myosin and during development, mlc-4 activity is required maternally for cytokinesis in meiosis and mitosis and for establishment of some aspects of anterior-posterior polarity in the early embryo; further, RNA interference studies show that two proteins, LET-502 (Rho-binding kinase) and MEL-11 (myosin phosphatase) do not properly localize at the cleavage furrow in mutant mlc-4 embryos during embryonic cytokinesis; later, zygotic mlc-4 activity is required for proper embryonic elongation and larval development; an MLC-4::GFP fusion protein that rescues the zygotic defects is expressed in the lateral hypodermal (seam) cells beginning at the bean stage of embryogenesis and continuing through larval stages; expression is also observed postembryonically in the spermathecal and uterine walls as well as weakly in the gonadal sheath and intestinal muscle.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003624

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable myosin heavy chain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; embryonic body morphogenesis; and nematode larval development. Located in cytoplasm. Part of filamentous actin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Is an ortholog of human MYL9 (myosin light chain 9).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (59)
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
