Structured_description Provisional_description grh-1 encodes a LSF/GRH transcription factor homolog required for normal cuticular synthesis and embryonic development; both GRH-1 and its Drosophila homolog GRAINYHEAD bind to DNA sites upstream of dbl-1, mab-5, and tdc-1; all three of these target genes are homologs of genes regulated by GRAINYHEAD in Drosophila; grh-1(RNAi) animals die as embryos with soft, defective cuticles, which resembles the phenotype seen in Drosophila grainyhead mutants.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00006017

The family of transcription factors to which GRH-1 belongs has two subdivisions, the Grainyhead and LSF subfamilies, whose split phylogenetically preceded the divergence of metazoa.
