Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionaco-1 encodes an aconitase that is homologous to mammalian iron regulatory protein-1 (IRP1); aco-1 activity is required for normal brood sizes and, under iron stress conditions, for normal lifespan and L4-to-adult growth rates; ACO-1 physically interacts with GEX-3; like IRP1, ACO-1 has aconitase activity and is post-translationally regulated by iron, but, unlike IRP1, it lacks RNA-binding activity; aco-1 mRNA levels appear to decrease in response to iron treatment; an ACO-1::GFP fusion protein exhibits cytosolic expression in the hypodermal seam cells and the intestine.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004424

Reference (21)
Remarkgei-22 becomes an other name for this gene, main name is aco-1 [JAH][011204 ck1]
Sequence connection from [Qadota H, Kaibuchi K]
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.CGC_data_submission
