Phenotype See also n1130
[C.elegansII] e185 : about 50% longer than wildtype at all stages, markedly tapering tail and head; low penetrance tendency to form constriction behind head, may result in auto-decapitation. Eggs elongated.ES3. Male bursa elongated ME0. OA5: e43, e1820, n1130 etc. (some have stronger Lon phenotype than e185, all show some decapitation). [Brenner 1974; MT]

PR-proteins are found in yeast, plants, insects, and humans.
The lon-1 gene is downregulated in worms overexpressing DBL-1 that are 16% longer than wild type; lon-1(RNAi) or lon-1 mutant worms show a phenotype similar to that of excess DBL-1.
Endoreduplication of hypodermal nuclei is increased 19% in lon-1(e185) animals.
PR-proteins are found in yeast, plants, insects, and humans; the conservation suggests that LON-1 might represent a novel, but general downstream component of TGF-beta signalling.
lon-1 is epistatic to dbl-1.
Concise_descriptionThe lon-1 gene encodes a protein belonging to the PR-protein superfamily that is a target of DBL-1 (TGF-beta) signaling, and that regulates polyploidization and body length.
