[C.elegansII] e1066 : (pka che-4) touch insensitive; lethargic; microtubule cells lack extracellular mantle often displaced; some amphidial neurons also displaced, defective fasciculation. ES2 ME2. OA>50: e1292, e1336, u39amb etc. Most alleles resemble e1066 but may lack amphidial neuron displacement. [Perkins et al. 1986]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmec-1 encodes proteins with multiple disulfide-linked EGF and Kunitz domains; MEC-1 activity is required for normal mechanosensory behavior, and specifically for: 1) localization of the touch receptor degenerin channel complex, 2) accumulation of MEC-5/collagen into the extracellular matrix surrounding touch receptor neurons, and 3) attachment of touch receptor processes to the body wall; mec-1 promoter-GFP fusions indicate that, in addition to the six touch receptors, mec-1 can be expressed in many lateral neurons, the PVT interneuron, and the intestinal muscle; mec-1 expression in the touch receptors is, however, sufficient to rescue touch sensitivity in mec-1 mutant animals; MEC-1 appears to be an extracellular protein that: 1) binds to touch receptor processes uniformly and in a punctate pattern and 2) colocalizes with MEC-5 and degenerin channel puncta on these processes; while localization of MEC-1 into puncta requires the activity of mec-5 and mec-9, uniform MEC-1 localization requires the activity of him-4; in addition, proper organization and distribution of MEC-1, MEC-5, and the degenerin channel complex puncta appears to be regulated by interactions with adjacent epidermal tissue.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000502

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch; extracellular structure organization; and mechanosensory behavior. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in PVT; cholinergic neurons; intestinal muscle; and touch receptor neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
