Structured_description Provisional_descriptiondna-2 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the yeast and vertebrate Dna2 replication helicases; by homology, DNA-2 is predicted to function as an endonuclease and an ATP-dependent helicase that is involved in DNA replication and repair; in C. elegans, DNA-2 activity is required maternally and zygotically to maintain normal rates of cell division and for proper germ-line, embryonic, and larval development; DNA-2 activity is temperature-sensitive: animals lacking DNA-2 at 16 degrees Celsius (C) are less severely affected than those at 20 or 25 degrees C; in the hermaphrodite gonad, DNA-2 localizes to nuclei of germ cells and developing oocytes, and expression continues in embryos up to the comma stage; DNA-2 then reappears at the L3 larval stage, and in L3 and L4 larvae is visible in the proliferating somatic cells of the uterus and spermatheca.
