Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionhsp-16.41 encodes a 16-kD heat shock protein (HSP) that is a member of the hsp16/hsp20/alphaB-crystallin (HSP16) family of heat shock proteins; an hsp-16.41 reporter fusion, expressed broadly but strongest in intestine and pharynx, is induced in response to heat shock or other environmental stresses; expression is detectable in somatic tissues in post-gastrulation embryos, all larval stages, and in adults; HSP-16.41 is likely to function as a passive ligand temporarily preventing unfolded proteins from aggregating.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001187

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and response to heat. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including alimentary muscle; coelomocyte; intestine; neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 9 multiple types. Is an ortholog of human CRYAA (crystallin alpha A).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceC. elegans is an effective model system to study heat-related pathologies like heat stroke; in elegans, the heat-shock transcription factor, after activation, induces the expression of other small heat shock proteins (sHSP); HSP-16.1 has a protective effect against heat-induced necrosis; HSP-16.1 localizes to the golgi and functions together with the PMR-1/PMR1 Ca2+ and Mn2+ transporting ATPase, and NUCB-1/Nucleobindin1, a golgi-located calcium-buffering protein, to maintain calcium homeostasis, under heat stroke; overexpresiion of pmr-1/PMR1 is sufficient to promote survival after heat stroke, bypassing both HSF-1 and HSP-16.1, indicating that PMR-1/PMR1 functions downstream of both these genes; also, the sHSPs, HSP-16.1, HSP-16.41 and DNJ-19 are required for an acquired tolerance to heat stroke.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00041564

Reference (69)
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
