Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-78 encodes a WD40 repeat-containing protein homologous to actin-interacting protein (AIP1) that regulates the ordered assembly of actin and cofilin in myofibrils; homozygous unc-78 mutant animals are viable but exhibit disorganization of actin filaments in the body wall muscle; unc-78 and aipl-1 have redundant and overlapping functions in organized assembly of actin filaments in embryonic muscle and that unc-78 and aipl-1 double mutant is embryonic lethal; both isoforms preferentially cooperate with UNC-60B, a muscle-specific ADF/cofilin for actin filament disassembly in embryonic muscle; UNC-78 is expressed in embryonic pharynx and body wall muscles; in adults it is expressed in spermatheca, the myoepithelial sheath, the uterus, adult vulva; UNC-78 isoform majorly functions in post-embryonic muscle most likely due to its expression in larval and adult muscles and that AIPL-1 can compensate for the function of UNC-78 in the body wall muscle.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038403

Automated_descriptionEnables actin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including myofibril assembly; regulation of actin polymerization or depolymerization; and regulation of locomotion. Located in myofibril and sarcoplasm. Expressed in body wall musculature; pharynx; spermatheca; uterus; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human WDR1 (WD repeat domain 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
