Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontub-1 encodes a TUBBY homolog that affects fat storage across species including C. elegans; tub-1 functions with kat-1, a 3-ketoacyl-coA thiolase, to affect lipid accumulation; tub-1 is also required for normal life span as tub-1 mutants show extended life span which is dependent on daf-16/FOXO3a; tub-1 interacts with a novel RabGTPase-activating protein RBG-3 and upregulates the activity of a small GTPase, RAB-7, suggesting the involvement of an endocytic pathway in regulating fat storage; tub-1 is expressed in ciliated neurons where its activity is required for proper localization of G protein-coupled receptors to nonmotile primary cilia; tub-1 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm, but undergoes transport supporting its involvement in neuronal trafficking and chemosensation.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005655

Automated_descriptionInvolved in positive regulation of neurogenesis and receptor localization to non-motile cilium. Located in cytoplasm; non-motile cilium; and periciliary membrane compartment. Expressed in neurons. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Is an ortholog of human TUB (TUB bipartite transcription factor); TULP1 (TUB like protein 1); and TULP3 (TUB like protein 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevancetub-1/tubby is a gene involved in obesity across species; studies in C. elegans indicate that: decreased kat-1 (a ketoacyl-coA thiolase involved in fatty acid oxidation) activity appears to be responsible for increased fat accumulation in tub-1/Tubby worms; further, mutations causing alterations in ciliated neurogenesis mimic the genetic interaction of kat-1 and tub-1, suggesting the involvement of neurohormonal mechanisms in the regulation of lipid accumulation; a tub-1-mediated endocytic pathway may also be involved in regulation of fat storage, as indicated by interactions of tub-1 with the Rab-GTPase-activating protein RBG-3 and the small Rab-GTPase, RAB-7.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00031329

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
