T04A8.14 Details Help
Description  emb-5 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the Spt6 family of RNA polymerase II transcription elongation factors; first identified in screens for temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal mutations, emb-5 is required for the correct timing of the second E (endoderm)-cell division in the early embryo and thus, for normal embryonic gastrulation; in addition, emb-5 activity is required postembryonically for proper gonad development; in yeast two-hybrid studies, EMB-5 interacts with the intracellular domains of LIN-12 and GLP-1, suggesting that EMB-5 functions as a positive downstream effector in Notch-like signaling pathways during C. elegans development; emb-5 mRNA is most abundant during embryonic stages, with lower levels apparent during the L1-L3 larval stages, and even lower levels observed during L4.
