[C.elegansII] n671 : adult hermaphrodite slightly uncoordinated, long, irregularly shaped tail, vulva may be nonfunctional; many hermaphrodites (50%) have single small protrusion posterior to vulvas; some gonadal abnormality and sterility. Abnormally long excretory canals. Diverse asymmetric cell divisions are symmetric or reversed. ES2. Male tail grossly abnormal, may rupture during L2 molt ME0. OA4: n677 (resembles n671), n669 (less penetrant for Muv phenotype), e2257, etc. Cloned: encodes predicted membrane protein(seven TM domains), 28% identity to Drosophila frizzled.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlin-17 encodes one of four C. elegans Frizzled homologs, integral membrane proteins that contain an external cysteine rich domain (CRD) and seven transmembrane domains and that function in a wide variety of species as receptors for Wnt glycoprotein signaling molecules; LIN-17 activity is required for specifying the polarity of a number of asymmetric cell divisions that, in C. elegans, are essential for development of such structures as the vulva, somatic gonad, and tail; LIN-17 is also required for the proper polarity of neuronal migrations along the anterior-posterior axis; genetic interactions indicate that LIN-17 likely functions as a receptor for several different Wnt molecules, including LIN-44 and EGL-20, and that in specifying cell fates, the LIN-17-mediated signaling pathway often functions redundantly with other signaling pathways, including the RTK/Ras pathway; LIN-17, along with CWN-2, CAM-1, and DSH-1, functions as part of a Wnt signaling pathway that regulates ACR-16 localization to postsynaptic regions, a key component of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity; a LIN-17 translational reporter fusion shows membrane-associated expression in all of the Pn.pxx vulval precursor cells, in the descendants of V6 and T in males, in the P11.p and B cells, as well as their daughters, and granddaughters, and weakly in P10.p and its daughters; the reporter fusion does not reveal expression in P7.p, Z1, Z4, and T; LIN-17 is also expressed in muscle arms, where it colocalizes with CAM-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001096
