pqbp-1.2 encodes a protein that is related to human PQBP1 (polyglutamine bindingprotein 1, mutations in which cause X-linked mental retardation (OMIM:300463)), but which lacks the WW domain (WWD) which has been shown to interact with RNA polymerase II and NpwBP; a mutation in pqbp-1.2, tm3045, is viable and displays no defects in lipid metabolism.
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.
