Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontbx-2 encodes one of 21 C. elegans T-box transcription factors; during development, tbx-2 activity is required for normal adaptation, but not chemotaxis, to attractive odorants sensed by the AWC amphid neurons; tbx-2 is required redundantly with unc-3 and unc-31 for negative regulation of dauer formation, and large-scale RNAi screens reveal an essential role for tbx-2 in early larval development, normal rates of postembryonic growth, and locomotory behavior; tbx-2 is also required along with pha-4 for embryonic precursor cells to adopt a pharyngeal muscle fate; TBX-2 and PHA-4 are mutually dependant on each other to maintain expression implicating them in a regulatory loop that controls commitment to the pharyngeal muscle fate; yeast two-hybrid assays have identified that TBX-2 interacts with UBC-9 (E2 SUMO conjugating enzyme) and GEI-17 (E3 SUMO ligase); based on the two-hybrid interaction and the similar pharyngeal muscle phenotype of ubc-9, it is likely that protein sumoylation is required for precursor-cell derived pharyngeal muscle development; antibodies to TBX-2 detect expression in the cytoplasm of amphid and pharyngeal neurons in larvae and adults, suggesting that TBX-2 function may be controlled, in part, by regulation of its subcellular localization; in addition, in situ hybridization studies indicate that tbx-2 mRNA is expressed during mid-embryogenesis; tbx-2 expression in the AWC amphid neurons is sufficient to rescue the olfactory adaptation defects seen in tbx-2 mutant animals.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002132

Automated_descriptionEnables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity; core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle structure development; neuron migration; and olfactory behavior. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in amphid neurons; body wall musculature; head neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); ulnar-mammary syndrome; and vertebral anomalies and variable endocrine and T-cell dysfunction. Is an ortholog of human TBX2 (T-box transcription factor 2) and TBX3 (T-box transcription factor 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (58)
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
