[C.elegansII] e286ts : at 25C limp paralysed Egl; muscle ultrastructure defective, few thick filaments; males move better; at 20C slow, at 15C wildtype. ES3 (adult 25C) ME0. OA>5: m94ts, r450ts, su2002 (some ts alleles have stronger 20C phenotype than e286). Also lethal Pat alleles: st601, st603,(limited development beyond two-fold,no pharyngeal pumping, failure to assemble thick filaments), st604 (weaker allele, some maternal rescue), wc2, wc4, wc5.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-45 encodes a conserved, muscle-specific protein that contains an N-terminal TRP (tetratricopeptide repeat) and a C-terminal UCS (UNC-45-CRO1-She4p) domain; during body wall muscle development, UNC-45 activity is essential for proper thick filament formation and sarcomere organization; in addition, maternally provided UNC-45 is required for embryonic polarity, cytokinesis, and germline cellularization; in regulating muscle development, UNC-45 acts, as both a chaperone and an HSP-90 cochaperone, to control type II myosin folding and assembly into thick filaments; in regulating polarity, cytokinesis and germline cellularization, maternal UNC-45 is essential for normal functioning of the NMY-2 non-muscle myosin II; UNC-45 can physically interact with myosin, Hsp90, and NMY-2; UNC-45 levels, and hence activity, are controlled by a novel E3/E4-multiubiquitylation complex containing CDC-48, UFD-2, and CHN-1; in muscle cells, UNC-45 colocalizes with myosin heavy chain B to thick filaments; in the embryo, UNC-45 colocalizes with NMY-2 at the cell cortex and the cleavage furrow; UNC-45 localization at the cell cortex and cleavage furrow is dependent upon NMY-2.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000128

Automated_descriptionEnables identical protein binding activity; protein folding chaperone; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chaperone-mediated protein folding; egg-laying behavior; and sarcomere organization. Located in cell cortex and cleavage furrow. Expressed in body wall musculature and non-striated muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 43 and myofibrillar myopathy 11. Is an ortholog of human UNC45B (unc-45 myosin chaperone B).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
