B0464.7 Details Help
Description  baf-1 encodes a small, novel protein that is highly conserved amongst metazoa; BAF-1 binds double-stranded DNA nonspecifically in vitro and is essential for proper chromosome segregation, embryogenesis, and gonad development in vivo; biochemical and phenotypic analyses suggest that BAF-1 functions as an intramolecular bridge that mediates nuclear assembly and chromatin capture by the reforming nuclear envelope; by homology with mammalian BAF proteins, BAF-1 is also predicted to play a role in regulating gene expression and higher-order chromatin structure; during interphase, BAF-1 colocalizes with LMN-1/lamin to the nuclear envelope and nuclear interior; during mitosis, BAF-1 is present in a more punctate pattern, localizing near condensing chromatin and maintaining this localization through telophase; BAF-1 localization during nuclear assembly requires the activity of LMN-1/lamin, EMR-1/emerin, and LEM-2/MAN1.
