High impact information on unc-43

  • Based on genetic epistasis analysis, nsy-1 appears to act downstream of the CaMKII unc-43, and NSY-1 associates with UNC-43, suggesting that UNC-43/CaMKII activates the NSY-1 MAP kinase cassette [1].
  • Mutations in the unc-103 potassium channel gene suppress a gain-of-function phenotype of unc-43 in one tissue without affecting other tissues; thus, UNC-103 may be a tissue-specific target of CaMKII in vivo [2].
  • Null unc-43 mutations cause phenotypes generally opposite to those of the gain-of-function mutation [2].
  • Interestingly, these characteristic defects resembled phenotypes observed in gain-of-function mutants of unc-43/Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and goa-1/G(o)-protein alpha-subunit [3].
  • The slo-1 and egl-30 mutations conferred resistance to VAs, but unc-43 mutations did not [4].
 

Biological context of unc-43

 

Associations of unc-43 with chemical compounds

  • These were recovered from a lambda gt 10 library of DNA from a specially constructed genetic strain containing the unc-43 to unc-31 interval from the BO strain and the rest of the genome from N2 [5].
