Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongna-2 encodes a glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase required forsynthesis of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), N-acetylgalactosamine(UDP-GalNAc), alpha-GalNAc-modifications of mucin-like proteins, andchitin; GNA-2 is also required for eggshell synthesis and osmoticintegrity, progression past meiosis metaphase I, error-free chromosomalsegregation during meiosis, polar body extrusion, association of thesperm pronucleus/centrosome complex (SPCC) with the early embryoniccortex, localization of PAR-2 in early embryos, posterior localizationof P granules or PIE-1, and pseudocleavage; gna-2 transcription iselevated during oogenesis; gna-2 mRNA is posttranslationally inhibitedboth by GLD-1 repression and by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), withGLD-1 predominating in distal gonads and NMD (incompletely)predominating in proximal ones; gna-2 mRNA has two upstream open readingframes (uORFs) with premature stop codons, which normally cause NMD ofthis mRNA unless it is protected by GLD-1 binding to the gna-2 mRNA's 5'UTR; conversely, gna-2 mRNA is translationally repressed by bound GLD-1during pachytene meiosis, and must be freed from this repression duringdiplotene meiosis for eggshell synthesis to proceed; gna-2(qa705) issuppressed by sup-46 mutations, but only in a gna-1(+) background.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002207

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase activity and monosaccharide binding activity. Involved in chitin biosynthetic process and eggshell formation. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is an ortholog of human GNPNAT1 (glucosamine-phosphate N-acetyltransferase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkGene description from Johnston, WL and Dennis, JW [020924 ck1]
The exact positive_clone referred to is T23G11 fragment 20340-23478 [Johnston, WL and Denis, JW] [021007 ck1]
Postitive method is stable transformation rescue
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
