Gene Inhibited | ZK1151.1 (vab-10) | ||
Description of "ZK1151.1" | vab-10 encodes, by alternative splicing, two spectraplakins (VAB-10A and VAB-10B) that are jointly required for mechanical resilience of the epidermis under strain by the contraction of actin microfilaments mechanically linked to fibrous organelles (FOs); VAB-10A/B are, accordingly, required for elongation during embryonic morphogenesis; VAB-10A has C-terminal plectin repeats while VAB-10B has spectrin repeats; VAB-10A is required to keep the epidermis and extracellular matrix attached via FOs, while VAB-10B is required to keep the apical and basal epidermal plasma membranes connected during morphogenesis; vab-10a and vab-10b mutations complement one another; vab-10 is orthologous to human BPAG1 (dystonin or MACF2, OMIM:113810, encoding an autoantigen of bullous pemphigoid blistering disease) and dJ562N20.1 (MACF1), and to Drosophila SHORT STOP. | ||
