Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionaff-1 encodes a cell-surface protein required in late L4 larvae forvarious cell fusions, of which at least one (AC-utse) does not requireEFF-1; in vulval development, AFF-1 is required for fusion of the anchorcell (AC) with the utse syncytium, of A cells to one another, and of Dcells to one another; AFF-1 is also required for lateral seam cellfusions; since aff-1 mutants fail to mix AC with utse cytoplasm, AFF-1is probably required to begin cell fusion by forming intercellularpores; AFF-1 has no obvious non-nematode orthologs, but is paralogous toEFF-1 and C26D10.7; AFF-1 is predicted to be largely extracellular, witheight conserved predicted disulfide bonds in its ectodomain and a singleC-terminal transmembrane domain; AFF-1 is expressed in the AC, beginningaround the AC's invasion of basement membrane in mid-L3 larvae, andcontinuing until the AC's fusion to utse; AFF-1 is also expressed inutse, beginning in L4 larvae, after which AC-utse fusion immediatelyensues; in both AC and utse, AFF-1 expression requires FOS-1, and theaff-1 promoter has predicted FOS-1 binding sites; other sites of AFF-1expression include embryonic hyp5 cells, pharyngeal muscles (Pm3 andPm5), head and tail neurons, sheath cells of chemosensory neurons, andmale tail neurons; subcellularly, AFF-1::GFP localizes to plasmamembrane and (undefined) intracellular organelles; generally, AFF-1 isexpressed in cells whose fusion does not require EFF-1, which mayexplain why AFF-1 and EFF-1 are redundantly required for viability; heatshock-driven overexpression of AFF-1, even in an eff-1 null mutantbackground, can induce ectopic cell fusion, and heterologous AFF-1 caninduce insect Sf9 cells to fuse in vitro.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00029363

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
