[Komatsu H, Mori I] ks11 defective in chemotaxis, thermotaxis.
[C.elegansII] p678 : defective chemotaxis to Na, cAMP; repelled by Cl; athermotactic; reduced brood size. OA3: p674, ks28, ks11 (athermotactic; defects in sensory axon outgrowth). Cloned: encodes predicted 772 aa protein with 36% identity to human cGMP-gated ion channel. [Dusenbery 1976; FK]
Predicted polypeptide of 733aa, cyclic nucleotide gated channel family. p678 i Q82am, ks11 is P383L, ks28 is D218V. Predicted gene ZC84.2
Complementation_data[Komatsu H, Mori I] presumably fails to complement tax-4(p678) tax-4(ks28).

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontax-4 encodes a a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel subunit orthologous to the human gene ROD PHOTORECEPTOR CGMP-GATED CHANNEL (CNGA1; OMIM:123825); tax-4 is required for chemosensation and thermosensation; a TAX-4::GFP fusion protein is expressed in sensory neurons where it localizes to the cilia.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002585

Automated_descriptionEnables identical protein binding activity; intracellular cAMP-activated cation channel activity; and intracellular cGMP-activated cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of stimulus; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to temperature stimulus. Located in ciliary inversin compartment; dendrite; and non-motile cilium. Part of cation channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 2 and retinitis pigmentosa 49. Is an ortholog of human CNGA1 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 1) and CNGA2 (cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
