Structured_description Provisional_description (2)
Concise_descriptionlet-70 encodes a class I E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme; let-70 was identified in screens for essential genes and phenotypic analyses indicate that loss of let-70 activity results in embryonic and larval lethality with defects in sarcomere assembly; purified LET-70 can stimulate the self-ubiquitylation activities of CHN-1 and UFD-2, E4 ubiquitin conjugation factors and, in addition, can stimulate the CHN-1- and UFD-2-dependent multiubiquitylation of UNC-45, a myosin-directed chaperone; in this manner, LET-70 may regulate UNC-45 degradation and myosin assembly; RNA blot analyses and a let-70-lacZ reporter fusion reveal that let-70 is abundantly expressed at all stages of development, including the dauer larval stage; strong staining is observed in most somatic tissues until adult stages, when expression generally becomes restricted to the nervous system.

Remark [BC Lab] Essential gene. Phenotype of different homozygous alleles range from early to mid larval development.
This gene is now the primary name again for ubc-2. Previously, let-70 was made an 'Other_name' for ubc-2. 02/06/12 krb.
