[C.elegansII] e189 : severe coiler, little movement in adult; moves well in L1 but coils in response to touch in L2 and later stages; rather small and thin; weakly Egl-c; Ric. ES3 ME0. OA>5: f123 (lethal, f123/e189 coiler),f121 (lethal, f121/e189 almost WT), ut61, ut111(embryonic lethals, irregular shape). Most alleles lethal. Cloned: probably encodes protein with homology to glutathione reductase (ZK637.10); downstream gene in operon. [Brenner 1974; Nguyen et al. 1995; FF; JC]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-32 encodes, by alternative splicing, six isoforms of an ortholog of subunit a of the membrane-bound (V0) domain of vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase); UNC-32 is orthologous to human ATP6N1A (OMIM:192130), ATP6V0A2, ATP6V0A4 (OMIM:605239, mutated in distal renal tubular acidosis), and TCIRG1 (OMIM:604592, mutated in osteopetrosis); one UNC-32 isoform is essential for locomotion and normal synaptic vesicle morphology in motoneurons, is expressed solely in the nervous system, and is specifically mutated by unc-32(e189) or unc-32(f120); other UNC-32 isoforms are essential for embryonic and larval development; UNC-32 is expressed throughout the life cycle, strongly in the nervous system, but also in vulvae, spermathecal-uterine valves, intestine, and pharynx; UNC-32 is required for necrosis, since mutations of unc-32 suppress necrotic neurodegeneration and thapsigargin-induced cell death; in S. cerevisiae, different V0 a-subunits (Stv1p and Vph1p) direct the assembly of V-ATPases to different membranes and organelles, suggesting that the profusion of such subunits in C. elegans (co-orthologous VHA-5, VHA-6, VHA-7, and six UNC-32 isoforms) may have a similar function; alternative splicing of the unc-32 pre-mRNA is dependent on ASD-1 and FOX-1, and in neurons, is also dependent on UNC-75, which binds unc-32 intron 7a in vitro.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004601

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable ATPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholinergic synaptic transmission; defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; and positive regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Part of vacuolar proton-transporting V-type ATPase complex. Expressed in several structures, including alimentary muscle; hermaphrodite gonad; neurons; somatic nervous system; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive cutis laxa type IIA; autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 1; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 104. Is an ortholog of human ATP6V0A1 (ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit a1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
