[C.elegansII] e1241 : adult male has 6-18 missing copulatory rays as a result of variable failures of V and T lineages; bursa often grossly distorted. ME0/ME1. Hermaphrodite gross phenotype normal; late hypodermal V and T divisions variably defective. ES1 (hermaphrodite) ES3 (adult male). NA1. [Hodgkin 1983a; Link et al. 1988; CB]
rnt-1 encodes a transcription factor that is the sole C. elegans member of the Runx family of transcriptional regulators; rnt-1 activity is required for several developmental processes, including regulation of hypodermal seam cell proliferation and proper development of the male tail; rnt-1 mutant animals also exhibit a slight reduction in body size which is enhanced by starvation; RNT-1 can physically interact with SMA-4 and regulates, either directly or indirectly, expression of tlp-1 and cki-1, which encode a C2H2 zinc finger and CDK inhibitor, respectively; RNT-1::GFP reporter fusions are expressed in the nuclei of hypodermal seam cells and transiently in body wall muscles; in males, a RNT-1::GFP is expressed in cells derived from the V5, V6 and T lineages that give rise to the sensory rays.
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and SMAD binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; positive regulation of locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within dopamine metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Part of core-binding activity factor complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; ray precursor cell; and seam cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); invasive ductal carcinoma; and osteochondrodysplasia (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RUNX2 (RUNX family transcription factor 2) and RUNX3 (RUNX family transcription factor 3).
