Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionxbp-1 encodes a bZIP transcription factor orthologous to yeast Hac1 and mammalian X box-binding protein 1 (XBP-1, OMIM:194355); XBP-1 is required for the unfolded protein response (UPR) that counteracts cellular stress induced by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); xbp-1 mRNA is spliced by the IRE-1 endoribonuclease to promote translation of transcriptionally active XBP-1 that positively regulates UPR gene expression to maintain ER homeostasis and promote normal development; loss of xbp-1 activity also results in near-complete loss of myo-2 pharnygeal myosin expression, although pharyngeal muscle is still present.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005036

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; determination of adult lifespan; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Map 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
