Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsop-2 encodes a SAM domain-containing protein that is related to, but not orthologous with, Polycomb group proteins and ETS transcription factors; during development, SOP-2 activity is required for the proper integration of sexual, spatial, and temporal information during cell fate specification; specifically, SOP-2 is required for maintaining a restricted pattern of Hox gene expression, such as that of mab-5 and egl-5, to specific cells and tissues such as the serotonergic and dopaminergic male tail neurons and the ventral nerve cord; in addition, SOP-2 is required for the proper sexual and temporal specification of the hypodermal seam cells; in regulating temporal fate specification, genetic analyses indicate that sop-2 acts upstream of lin-29 in the heterochronic pathway and interacts with other members of the heterochronic pathway, such as lin-4, let-7, and hbl-1, to integrate temporal information and cell fate specification; sop-2 mutations also result in an increase in ALG-1-containing P bodies in hypodermal seam cells; in regulating neurotransmitter phenotype, sop-2 functions together with sor-3, which also encodes a Polycomb group protein, and members of the TGF-beta signaling pathway; sop-2 and sor-3 also function together to regulate progression through larval development; a SOP-2::GFP reporter fusion is expressed in the nuclei of all somatic cells beginning at the 50-cell stage of embryogenesis; SOP-2::GFP expression is initially diffuse, but by the 200-cell stage is visible in distinct nuclear bodies, the size and number of which may correlate with DNA content.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005924

Reference (28)
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
