Allele (386)
Legacy_informationStructural gene for major body wall myosin heavy chain. Reference null allele e190 : limp paralysed phenotype at all stages larvae can move slightly more than adults Egl; muscle ultrastructure very disorganized few thick filaments. ES3 ME0. NA (recessive) > 50 including e1108amber; e1301ts; e675sd and s291 (in frame internal deletion mutants with heavy chain fragment behavioral phenotype almost paralysed slight twitcher); also Tc1 insertion mutants; etc. Also unusual suppressor alleles (NA > 15) e.g. s74 : dominant suppressor of unc-22(s12) no other dominant phenotype recessive phenotype slow stiff normal muscle ultrastructure; alteration in S1 portion of protein. Also Class 3 (dominant) alleles reference allele e1152sd : severe rigid paralysis small; e1152/+ paralysed weaker phenotype. ES3 ME0. NA (dominant) > 10 : e1153 n489 etc.; resemble e1152 or more severe recessive lethal. Intragenic revertants have Class 1 phenotypes.

[C.elegansII] e190 : limp paralysed phenotype at all stages; larvae can move slightly more than adults; Egl; muscle ultrastructure very disorganized few thick filaments. ES3 ME0. OA>50 (recessive): e1108amb,e1301ts, e675sd and s291 (in frame internal deletion mutants, almost paralysed slight twitchers), etc. Also unusual suppressor alleles, OA>15: s74 (dominant suppressor of unc-22(s12), recessive slow, stiff; normal muscle ultrastructure) Also dominant antimorphic alleles, OA>10:e1152sd (severe rigid paralysis, small;e1152/+ paralysed weaker phenotype. ES3 ME0),r344 (recessive lethal, r344/+ severely paralysed), etc. Intragenic revertants have recessive paralysed phenotype. Some recessive alleles (r274, e1420 etc.) are dominant antimorphs in smg background. Cloned: encodes MHC B (MYO-4), major bodywall muscle myosin heavy chain. 6 kb message,1117 aa protein. Extensive molecular analysis. [Epstein et al. 1974; McLachlan and Karn 1982;Dibb et al. 1989; Bejsovec and Anderson 1990; TR; RW]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-54 encodes a muscle myosin class II heavy chain (MHC B); UNC-54 is the major myosin heavy chain expressed in C. elegans and is required for locomotion and egg-laying; in vivo and in vitro, UNC-54 interacts with ITR-1, an IP3 receptor, and this interaction may provide a link between calcium signaling and the muscle cytoskeleton; UNC-54 is a thick filament component that is expressed in multiple muscle cell classes including body wall, intestinal, anal depressor, and sphincter muscles as well as sex-specific muscles that develop postembryonically.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000232

Automated_descriptionEnables actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; muscle contraction; and skeletal muscle myosin thick filament assembly. Located in A band and striated muscle myosin thick filament. Part of muscle myosin complex. Expressed in anal depressor muscle; body wall musculature; head; vulval muscle; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including congenital heart disease (multiple); distal myopathy 1; and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including MYH1 (myosin heavy chain 1); MYH2 (myosin heavy chain 2); and MYH3 (myosin heavy chain 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
