Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnud-2 encodes an ortholog of human NDE1 and NDEL1, effectors of LIS1; NUD-2, along with other orthologs of LIS1-associated proteins (NUD-1, DHC-1, CDK-5, and CDKA-1), is required to prevent convulsions induced by exposure to the GABA antagonist pentylenetetrazole (PTZ); nud-2(RNAi), like RNAi of nud-1 et al., not only induces PTZ susceptibility but also causes GABA-containing synaptic vesicles in the ventral nerve cord to be distributed raggedly, and nud-2(RNAi) animals are abnormally susceptible to paralysis by the GABA agonist muscimol; nud-2(RNAi) phenotypes are dominantly enhanced by a heterozygous lis-1 allele, and nud-2(RNAi) delays the recovery from PTZ-induced paralysis of lis-1 heterozygotes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00028525

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Involved in GABAergic synaptic transmission; nuclear migration; and synaptic vesicle transport. Located in nuclear envelope. Expressed in several structures, including germ cell; hypodermal cell; non-striated muscle; rectal valve cell; and tail hypodermis. Used to study epilepsy and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 4 and schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human NDE1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1) and NDEL1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1 like 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn humans, mutations in the LIS1 gene (Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, isoform 1B, alpha subunit; PAFAH1B1) and the LIS1 pathway, are implicated in Lissencephaly, a developmental abnormality associated with a failure of neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex, leading to mental retardation and epilepsy; human NDE1 and NDEL1, are effectors of LIS1; the elegans genetic model for epileptic siezures consists of lis-1 mutants that are responsive to the common seizure inducer pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and diplay a distinct convulsive phenotype; elegans nud-2 is orthologous to human NDE1, in humans NDE1 and LIS1 interact in cerebral cortical development; elegans nud-2 and lis-1 physically interact and nud-2 knockdown (via RNA interference) animals convulse in response to PTZ; the percentage of nud-2 animals showing convulsions in response to PTZ increases when nud-2 mutants are combined with lis-1 homozygous animals (human lissencephaly is caused by a haploinsufficiency and is more accurately reflected by lis-1 heterozygous animals (lis-1/+); also wild-type animals recovered, when removed from PTZ exposure, while lis-1, nud-2 and lis-1/nud-2 mutants were less likely to recover, when removed from chemical exposure; these studies show that while knocking down target genes (lis-1, cdk-5, and cdka-1 that function in neuronal migration), and their interacting proteins like nud-1, nud-2 and dhc-1, does not yield spontaneous convulsions in C. elegans, further alterations in the neural environment through the application of PTZ serve to pass a critical threshold within these animals.Homo sapiensAccession_evidenceOMIM609449

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
