Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiondaf-3 encodes a co-SMAD protein that is most closely related to Drosophila Medea and the vertebrate Smad4 proteins; DAF-3 functions as a transcriptional regulator that is required for formation of the alternative dauer larval stage as well as for regulation of pharyngeal gene expression during non-dauer development, and normal adult lifespan; DAF-3 activity is antagonized by signaling through the DAF-7/TGF-beta pathway which promotes reproductive growth; in yeast two-hybrid studies, DAF-3 interacts with SMA-3, another Smad protein that does not appear to have a role in dauer formation; in vitro, DAF-3 binds the organ-specific C subelement in the promoter of the pharyngeal muscle-specific myosin myo-2 and in vivo, suppresses the enhancer activity of this element during larval development; a DAF-3::GFP fusion protein is expressed in many tissues that undergo remodeling during dauer development, including the gut, nervous system and pharynx; DAF-3 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm, but is also found in the nucleus in association with mitotic chromosomes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002915

Automated_descriptionEnables cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of dauer larval development; and regulation of pharyngeal pumping. Located in condensed chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including P1; P2; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; hypodermal cell; and neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
