Legacy_information[C.elegansII] h79 : mid-larval lethal, no dominant effect. OA>20 (recessive lethals), also 3 dominant alleles: ct42, ct76, ct77 (all 3 alleles lead to recessive zygotic larval lethality, dominant embryonic Mel). [Howell and Rose 1990; Mains et al. 1990; HR; KR]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiondhc-1 encodes a cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain homolog required in one-cell embryos for pronuclear migration, centrosome separation, centrosome proximity to the male pronucleus, and mitotic spindle orientation, suggesting that DHC-1 helps position the microtubule organizing center; DHC-1 genetically interacts with SPD-5, a coiled-coil centrosomal protein.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001274

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular localization; neuron remodeling; and regulation of cellular localization. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; nuclear envelope; and spindle pole. Expressed in germ cell; head; somatic cell; and tail. Used to study epilepsy and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2O; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 13; and spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 1. Is an ortholog of human DYNC1H1 (dynein cytoplasmic 1 heavy chain 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn humans, mutations in the LIS1 gene (Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, isoform 1B, alpha subunit; PAFAH1B1) and the LIS1 pathway, are implicated in Lissencephaly, a developmental abnormality associated with a failure of neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex, leading to mental retardation and epilepsy; human NDE1 and NDEL1, are effectors of LIS1; the elegans genetic model for epileptic siezures consists of lis-1 mutants that are responsive to the common seizure inducer pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and diplay a distinct convulsive phenotype; studies in the worm show that dhc-1/dynein heavy chain (orthologous to human DYNC1H1), is a LIS1 pathway component and worms depleted for LIS1 pathway components via RNA interference, NUD-1, NUD-2, DHC-1, CDK-5, and CDKA-1, also exhibited significant convulsions following PTZ treatment; further nud-1 (orthologous to human NUDC), nud-2/NDE1 and cdk-5 show significant enhancement in convulsions in a lis-1 heterozygous background when compared with the wild-type background; these animals are also less likely to recover when PTZ treatment is removed, when compared to wild-type; these studies show that while knocking down target genes (lis-1, cdk-5, and cdka-1 that function in neuronal migration), and their interacting proteins like nud-1, nud-2 and dhc-1, does not yield spontaneous convulsions in C. elegans, further alterations in the neural environment through the application of PTZ serve to pass a critical threshold within these animals.Homo sapiensCurator_confirmedWBPerson324
