Phenotype [C.elegansII] NMK CR#PKC1A sofar???
[C.elegansII] VNMK. Not located on physical map. Encodes kinases related to protein kinase C (PKC1A and PKC1B). Transcript from proximal promoter encodes 707aa PKC1B, antibody stains cell bodies and processes of ~75 sensory neurons. Transcription from distal promoter yields kup-1, PKC1A (SL2 transpliced, 763 aa (additional 56aa at N-term of PKC1B). B:A ratio ~40 in early development, unity in adults. [Land et al. 1994a; Land et al. 1994b; CR]

Structured_description Provisional_descriptionpkc-1 encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is orthologous to mammalian protein kinase C epsilon (PRKCE), a member of the nPKC subgroup of the protein kinase C superfamily; together with UNC-13, PKC-1 may act downstream of goa-1 to modulate phorbol ester-induced stimulation of acetylcholine release at NMJs; PKC-1 positively regulates locomotion, and affects thermotaxis and chemotaxis together with kin-11; PKC-1 is required for regulating several behaviors including sensation of volatile and soluble compounds, osmolarity, and temperature (thermosensation); PKC-1 is also required for phorbolester-induced stimulation of acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions; PKC-1 localizes to the processes and cell bodies of approximately 75 sensory neurons and interneurons, and pkc-1 mRNA is detectable at varying levels during larval and adult stages.

Remark Map is V.
Sequence connection updated to F57F5.5 as previous sequence (F10C2.1) was merged into F57F5.5. [020620 krb]
clone CR#PKC1A appears to be spuriously associated with F48E8 on LGIII [jah 040303][030407 ck1]
Map 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
