Structured_description Provisional_description The unc-78 gene encodes a homolog of actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) that regulates the ordered assembly of actin and cofilin in myofibrils. Paper_evidence WBPaper00004608

In unc-78 mutants, striated actin filaments are disordered, and large actin aggregates abnormally appear.
UNC-60B, a muscle-specific actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin isoform, is mislocalized to these aggregates; in wild-type animals UNC-60B is found in diffuse cytoplasm and along myofibrils.
unc-78 mutant phenotypes are similar in embryonic versus adult muscles.
