Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionash-2 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of Drosophila Ash2, a trithorax group protein that is a member of the conserved H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) complex; in C. elegans, loss of ash-2 via RNAi results in reduced levels of H3K4me3 at L3 larval stages indicating that ASH-2 functions in H3K4 trimethylation; ASH-2 also functions in the C. elegans germline to negatively regulate lifespan; in addition, loss of ash-2 activity via RNAi results in embryonic lethality characterized by defects in cortical activity and spindle rocking; loss of ash-2 activity in a lin-35 mutant background results in reduced brood size and lethality; two ash-2 deletion mutations, tm1903 and tm1905, also result in lethality and sterility; ASH-2 is highly expressed in the germ line and in early embryos; ASH-2 localizes to the nucleus.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00025054

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; programmed cell death; and transdifferentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of MLL3/4 complex. Expressed in germ line. Is an ortholog of human ASH2L (ASH2 like, histone lysine methyltransferase complex subunit).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (28)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
