Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionpmt-1 encodes, by alternative splicing, four isoforms of an experimentally validated phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase required for phosphocholine biosynthesis and viability; PMT-1 lacks known mammalian orthologs, but has orthologs in parasitic nematodes, fish, amphibians, echinoderms, plants, alveolata, and bacteria; PMT-1 is distantly paralogous to PMT-2; PMT-1 catalyses the conversion of phosphoethanolamine to phospho-monomethylethanolamine (a precursor of phosphocholine) but does not proceed to further methylation steps, as do the multifunctional enzymes of plants or plasmodia; PMT-1 binds its substrates in random order, and is feedback-inhibited by phosphocholine; pmt-1(RNAi) animals fail to grow or develop, but can be rescued by phosphocholine precursors in their food media; given its phylogenetic and enzymatic specificity, coupled with its inviable RNAi phenotype, PMT-1 is a plausible target for nematicides.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00027622

Automated_descriptionEnables phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in multicellular organism reproduction; nematode larval development; and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis from phosphoryl-ethanolamine via N-dimethylethanolamine phosphate and CDP-choline. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in seam cell. Used to study lipid metabolism disorder.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

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
