Legacy_informatione1095sd : XX animals transformed into infertile males with abnormal tail anatomy; gonad morphology male normal spermatogenesis; XO phenotype wildtype male; e1095/+ is Egl hermaphrodite. ES3 ME3 (XO) ME0 (XX). NA (recessive) > 20 (e1425amber (resembles e1095); f70 (masculinized self-fertile hermaphrodite) e1875 (slightly Egl hermaphrodite very weak allele) b202ts : self-fertile hermaphrodite at 16x Tra-2 at 25x) etc.). Also Class 2 (gain-of-function) alleles e2020dm : XX animals completely feminized XO animals fertile males slightly feminized. NA (dominant) 6 : most are weaker than e2020. Also intragneic revertants of dominants resemble Class 1 alleles. NA > 10.

[C.elegansII] e1095sd : XX animals transformed into infertile males with abnormal tail anatomy; gonad morphology male, normal spermatogenesis; XO phenotype wildtype male; e1095/+ is Egl hermaphrodite. Probable null phenotype. ES3 ME3 (XO) ME0 (XX). OA>20 (recessive): e1425amb (resembles e1095); q276 (XX animals transformed into mating males, anomalous non-null);f70 (masculinized self-fertile hermaphrodite), e1875 (slightly Egl hermaphrodite, very weak allele), b202ts (self-fertile hermaphrodite at 16C, Tra-2 at 25C) etc. Also hypermorphic gf alleles: e2020dm (XX animals completely feminized, XO animals fertile males, slightly feminized;e2020/+ XX also female). OA>6 (hypermorphic):e2046 etc. (all weaker than e2020). Also constitutive gf alleles: e2531dm(e2531 and e531/+ XO animals hermaphrodite, no effect on XX). OA9 (consititutive): all resemble e2531. Intragenic revertants of both gf types are lf (XX masculinizing). Also mixed effect alleles: e1941, e2021(dominant feminizing effect on XX germline,recessive weak masculinization of XX soma). Cloned: 1.8, 1.9, 4.7 kb transcripts; largest encodes 1475 aa TRA-2A protein, nine TM domains.Complex regulation and expression. Downstream gene in operon with ppp-1.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontra-2 encodes a transmembrane receptor that functions in the sex determination pathway to specify female fates in hermaphroditic XX animals; tra-2 encodes two proteins: TRA-2A, the major protein expressed at all developmental stages, and TRA-2B, a form specific to the hermaphrodite germ line; in hermaphrodites, direct interaction between the TRA-2A intracellular domain inhibits FEM-3 masculinizing activity, whereas in males, TRA-2A is negatively regulated by HER-1, allowing the FEM proteins to specify male development; TRA-2A localizes to the plasma membrane where its activity is positively regulated, in part, by proteolytic cleavage by the TRA-3 calpain-like protease.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001553
