nhr-114 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of a nuclear hormone receptor that specifically binds GPA-13 in yeast two-hybrid assays; the interaction of NHR-114 with GPA-13 is independent of whether GPA-13 is constitutively activated or not; NHR-114 is expressed in intestine (and weakly in hypodermal cells), with mainly nuclear localization.
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Involved in regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on S-adenosylmethionine cycle. Located in nucleus. Expressed in germ line; hypodermis; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Is an ortholog of human NR1H3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3).
yk709c2 - EST sequence gives exact hit to both this orf and C27C7.8 - which is actual source? tentatively assigned to ZK1025.9 since C27C7.8 appears to be partial gene (no obvious NR DNA binding domain sequences) - EST clone has DBD, so is ZK1025.9 [Sluder A][030102 ck1]
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.
