Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionxnp-1 encodes an ATP-dependent DNA helicase of the SNF2 family that is orthologous to human XNP/ATR-X, which is associated with a number of X-linked mental retardation syndromes; in C. elegans, xnp-1 activity is required at high temperatures for embryogenesis, somatic gonad development, fertility, and vulval morphogenesis; in addition, animals doubly mutant for xnp-1 and lin-35/Rb, hpl-2/HP1, or nucleosome remodelling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex members such as lin-53 and let-418, display larval arrest with growth cessation but continued cell proliferation; xnp-1 is also required, with lin-35/Rb and hpl-2/HP1, for proper regulation of transgene expression; xnp-1 mRNA, detectable in embryos and the germline by in situ hybridization, is expressed at highest levels in embryos with decreasing levels seen in successive larval stages; xnp-1 transcriptional reporter fusions exhibit strong expression beginning at mid-embryogenesis but fading by embryonic morphogenesis; at hatching, expression is observed in all dividing cells including the P lineage, and at later larval stages expression is observed in the vulval precursor cells.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and catalytic activity, acting on a nucleic acid. Involved in several processes, including embryo development; gonad development; and vulval development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in germ line; hermaphrodite gonad; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study intellectual disability. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome-1; alpha thalassemia-X-linked intellectual disability syndrome; and lung carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ATRX (ATRX chromatin remodeler).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceHuman ATRX encodes a protein with a ATPase/helicase domain involved in chromatin remodeling, mutations in which, have been associated with alpha-thalassemia and X-linked mental retardation; the elegans ortholog, xnp-1 is required for gonadal development and acts in association with lin-35/Retinoblastoma (RB), components of the NuRD complex and hpl-2/HP1 genes; the requirement of xnp-1 with lin-35/ Rb in larval development in C. elegans can be compared with the observation that in humans, XNP/ATR-X mutation is also associated, with short stature and skeletal abnormalities during development.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00024322

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
