| Description of "K08B4.1" |
lag-1 encodes a transcription factor orthologous to members of the CSL (CBF1, Suppressor of Hairless, LAG-1) family that is highly conserved amongst metazoans; during development, LAG-1 functions as a downstream effector in both the lin-12- and glp-1-mediated Notch-like signaling pathways and accordingly, is required for such processes as germline induction, AC/VU lateral signaling, and embryonic development; LAG-1 can bind a consensus CSL family binding site found in multiple copies in the predicted regulatory regions of lin-12, glp-1, and lag-1, thus implicating LAG-1 as an important component of the positive feedback loop observed in the LIN-12/GLP-1 signaling pathway; LAG-1 is detected in all nuclei of the germ line except mature sperm, somatic gonad, and early embryo. |
