Gene Inhibited | F55C7.7 (unc-73) | ||
Description of "F55C7.7" | The unc-73 gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GNEF) similar to the Trio protein; UNC-73 is required for vulval morphogenesis, for the migration of QL, QR, and hypodermal P cells, the commisure outgrowth of D type motoneurons, and amphid axon outgrowth; UNC-73 has GNEF activity for both CED-10 and MIG-2 in vitro; the requirement for UNC-73 in P cell migration can be suppressed by transgenic overexpression of rho-1; UNC-73 activates several small GTPases: RHO-1 in P cell migration, and both CED-10 and MIG-2 in vulval morphogenesis, P cell migration, and axon outgrowth. | ||
