Phenotype e66 : twitcher at all stages; (moves slowly with constant trembling); thin; unable to hypercontract and therefore levamisole resistant; Egl; e66/+ twitches in 1% nicotine; ES3 ME0. NA > 200 (s32amber (resembles e66); m52dm; many Tc1 insertions etc.). Most unc-22/+ heterozygotes twitch in nicotine; abnormal muscle structure in most homozygotes; near normal muscle for alleles e105 s12 Tc1 induced alleles. See also unc-54.

[C.elegansII] e66 : twitcher at all stages; (moves slowly with constant trembling); thin; abnormal muscle structure; unable to hypercontract and therefore levamisole resistant; Egl; e66/+ twitches in 1% nicotine; ES3 ME0. OA>200:s32amb (resembles e66), m52dm,e105 (muscle structure near normal),e2428, s7, s12 (near normal muscle structure),s2038,st192 etc. Many Tc1 insertions, plus precise and imprecise excision revertants. Most unc-22/+ heterozygotes twitch in nicotine. Cloned: large gene (>30 kb), transcript ~19 kb,encodes 6049 aa twitchin: single kinase domain, multiple copies of fibronectin-like and Ig-like repeats. Antibody staining indicates twitchin associated with thick filaments. [Waterston et al. 1980; Benian et al. 1989, 1993; GB]

Structured_description Provisional_descriptionunc-22 encodes twitchin, a giant intracellular protein with multiple fibronectin- and immunoglobulin-like domains and a single protein kinase domain that is homologous to titin (OMIM:188840); UNC-22 is required in muscle for regulation of the actomyosin contraction-relaxation cycle and for maintenance of normal muscle morphology; UNC-22 associates with myosin and is localized to A-bands; in vitro, UNC-22 can phosphorylate myosin light-chain peptides and can undergo autophosphorylation.
