gfi-3 is also known as apc-5, encoding a distant homolog of the human anaphase promoting complex subunit APC5, but is most closely related to its C. elegans paralog such-1; gfi-3(RNAi) animals are generally unable to progress through meiotic divisions; initially they produce reduced numbers of viable embryos mixed with inviable embryos, but then show severe germline maintenance defects and become sterile.
Predicted to be involved in anaphase-promoting complex-dependent catabolic process; positive regulation of mitotic metaphase/anaphase transition; and protein K11-linked ubiquitination. Predicted to be part of anaphase-promoting complex. Expressed in germ line and sperm. Is an ortholog of human ANAPC5 (anaphase promoting complex subunit 5).
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.
