Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlys-8 encodes a putative lysozyme required for normal longevity,probably because it prevents killing of C. elegans by bacteria infectingits gut; LYS-8 is expressed in intestine up to the terminal bulb of thepharynx, as well as in g1 and g2 pharyngeal gland cells; LYS-8expression is induced by infection with Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonasaeruginosa, or (weakly) by Microbacterium nematophilum; LYS-8 expressionis promoted by DBL-1, TIR-1 and NSY-1; lys-8 transcripts are increasedby both DBL-1 and SMA-2 (though not strongly affected by LON-2), perhapsreflecting a general role of the DBL-1 signalling pathway in activatingintestinal genes and susceptibility of dbl-1 mutants to infection; lys-8transcripts are repressed by DAF-2 (and thus presumably increased byDAF-16), and lys-8(RNAi) animals display reduced lifespan; induction ofLSY-8 by any of three different Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, S.marcescens, or P. aeruginosa) requires DAF-16, DBL-1, and NSY-1; LSY-8and its paralogs (LYS-1 to -7 and LYS-10) are more similar to lysozymesfrom the amoeboid protozoon Entamoeba histolytica than to more familiarones from vertebrates.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003859

Reference (27)
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
