Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnfi-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the Nuclear Factor I (NFI) family of transcription factors; in C. elegans, nfi-1 activity is required for locomotion, egg laying, pharyngeal pumping, and wild-type adult lifespan; in vitro, NFI-1 can bind conserved NFI-binding sites also recognized by vertebrate NFI proteins; in situ hybridization experiments indicate that nfi-1 is expressed maternally in the germline and the early embryo; mRNA expression is also seen in the adult intestine; an NFI-1::GFP fusion protein is expressed from late embryogenesis through adulthood where it is seen in muscles, particularly pharyngeal and head muscles, neurons, and the intestine; nfi-1 expression in pharyngeal muscle is sufficient to rescue pharyngeal pumping defects and lifespan abnormalities; expression of ttn-1, which encodes the C. elegans muscle component Titin, is reduced in nfi-1 mutant animals.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003438

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of egg-laying behavior; and regulation of pharyngeal pumping. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; egg-laying apparatus; intestine; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Marshall-Smith syndrome; NFIA-related disorder; and Sotos syndrome 2. Is an ortholog of human NFIA (nuclear factor I A).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (14)
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
