Legacy_information[Chow KL] Transformation of thick ray 6 to a thin ray, which is anteriorly displaced and fuses with ray 4 (>95%). A tenth ray derived from hypodermal cell T.apapa is found in about 50% of the sides scored in all three alleles. mab-21(bx53)/yDf10 is embryonic lethal. Both males and hermaphrodites have slightly shorter body length (~85% of wild type)
[C.elegansII] bx53 : transformation of thick ray 6 to a thin ray, which is anteriorly displaced and fuses with ray 4 (>95%). Tenth ray derived from T.apapa, between rays 5 and 7, is found in ~50% of sides scored. Both males and hermaphrodites have slightly shorter body length (~85% of wild type); reduced brood size; males backward Unc, reduced mating efficiency. Mosaic focus cell autonomous for R6, non-autonomous for T.apapa. Probable hypomorph, bx53/Df is embryonic lethal. OA2: bx41, sy155 (similar). Cloned: encodes predicted 386 aa novel protein.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmab-21 encodes a novel protein that is a member of a highly conserved family of proteins with Drosophila and vertebrate orthologs; MAB-21 is cell-autonomously required for specifying the identity of sensory ray 6 in the male tail, and also for backward locomotion, normal body morphology, fecundity, and embryonic morphogenesis; MAB-21 expression begins in embryonic hypodermal cells and continues in larval and adult animals in hypodermis, anterior and ventral cord neurons, some body wall muscles, and ray cells.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002335

Automated_descriptionInvolved in cell fate commitment; embryo development; and nematode male tail mating organ morphogenesis. Expressed in several structures, including PVC; VA2; hyp7 syncytium; ray 6; and sensory neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coloboma and syndromic microphthalmia 14. Is an ortholog of human MAB21L1 (mab-21 like 1) and MAB21L2 (mab-21 like 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
