Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionast-1 encodes one of ten C. elegans ETS-box transcription factors; AST-1 is required cell autonomously for proper initiation and maintenance of dopamine (DA) neuron fate; AST-1 acts to specify DA neuron fate by positively regulating expression of a number of DA neuron-specific genes such as dat-1 and cat-2, which encodes a dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase, respectively; AST-1 is also required for proper navigation of some interneuron axons to their targets, for differentiation of the ventral cord pioneer neuron AVG, and for pharyngeal morphogenesis; AST-1 is transiently expressed in many head neurons late in their differentiation and axon outgrowth, and in a few pharyngeal cells; AST-1 is at first nuclear, but then relocates to spots in cell bodies and even neuronal processes; hypomorphic ast-1 mutants have axons extending laterally, and crossing over from the right axon tract to the left axon bundle; null ast-1(hd92) mutants are inviable, failing to attach a working pharynx to their cuticle during development and then starving as L1 larvae; behaviorally, hypomorphic ast-1 animals are at least superficially normal, indicating that the ventral nerve cord can tolerate at least some miswiring; AST-1 also regulates odr-2 expression, while ast-1 expression is itself regulated by LIN-11.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00026621

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including neuron differentiation; pharynx morphogenesis; and regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Expressed in intestine; neurons; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myeloid leukemia; pulmonary venoocclusive disease; and thrombocytopenia. Is an ortholog of human FLI1 (Fli-1 proto-oncogene, ETS transcription factor).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (29)
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
