Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionbaf-1 encodes a small, novel protein that is highly conserved amongst metazoa; BAF-1 binds double-stranded DNA nonspecifically in vitro and is essential for proper chromosome segregation, embryogenesis, and gonad development in vivo; biochemical and phenotypic analyses suggest that BAF-1 functions as an intramolecular bridge that mediates nuclear assembly and chromatin capture by the reforming nuclear envelope; by homology with mammalian BAF proteins, BAF-1 is also predicted to play a role in regulating gene expression and higher-order chromatin structure; during interphase, BAF-1 colocalizes with LMN-1/lamin to the nuclear envelope and nuclear interior; during mitosis, BAF-1 is present in a more punctate pattern, localizing near condensing chromatin and maintaining this localization through telophase; BAF-1 localization during nuclear assembly requires the activity of LMN-1/lamin, EMR-1/emerin, and LEM-2/MAN1; baf-1 mutations also exhibit hypersensitivity to DNA damage and baf-1 exhibits genetics interactions with lem-3, suggesting that these two genes function together to regulate the DNA damage response.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004269

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome segregation; embryo development; and response to X-ray. Located in condensed chromosome, centromeric region; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Used to study muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Nestor-Guillermo progeria syndrome and hepatocellular carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human BANF1 (BAF nuclear assembly factor 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in the human ortholog of baf-1, banf1, which encodes for the Barrier to Autointegration Factor 1 (BAF1), are found in Nestor-Guillerno progeria syndrome; Progeria syndromes are rare disorders that involve premature aging, characterized by aged appearance, growth retardation, decreased subcutaneous fat, thin limbs, and stiff joints; in vertebrates, BAF links nuclear lamina LEM domain proteins, like Emerin and LEM2, with DNA and heterochromatin; studies in elegans have discovered that BAF1 is required for viability, stable chromosome segregation, proper localization of emr-1/emerin and LEM2 at the nuclear periphery and together with emerin and lmn-1/lamin is required for nuclear membrane reassembly at the end of mitosis; BAF, in addition to be being regulated by the different complexes it forms with different LEM domain proteins is also regulated by cell-cycle dependent phosphorylation in elegans and mammals.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00040268

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
