[C.elegansII] e1216 : limp paralysed or very sluggish; somewhat Egl; larvae more paralysed; abnormal body muscle birefringence and ultrastructure, thin filaments in small bundles. ES3 ME0. OA>10: e1459amb (phenotype more severe than e1216), st39 r320 etc. Cloned: encodes predicted 40 kD protein with similarities to vertebrate smooth muscle proteins calponin, Drosophila mp20; localized to I bands. Alternative splicing. [Waterston et al. 1980; Goetinck and Waterston 1994;RW]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-87 encodes, through alternative splicing, two proteins that are required to maintain the structure of myofilaments in body wall muscle cells; UNC-87 proteins resemble the C-terminal repeat region of calponin but have no obvious orthologs outside of nematodes; in vitro, UNC-87 proteins exist as monomers in solution, associate with thin (F-actin) filaments but not with monomeric G-actin, and bundle F-actin filaments; in vivo, UNC-87 proteins reside in the I-band of bodywall muscle, and GFP-tagged UNC-87 associates with actin stress fibers; unc-87 mutants show degeneration of myofilaments, are profoundly immobile, and have noticeable defects in egg-laying; the unc-87 mutant phenotype is partially suppressed by the unc-54(s95) mutation, which lowers myosin activity but leaves myofilaments intact, indicating that UNC-87 prevents damage by mechanical stress on myofilaments.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002035

Automated_descriptionEnables actin filament binding activity; cytoskeletal motor inhibitor activity; and myosin binding activity. Involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and negative regulation of muscle filament sliding. Located in I band; stress fiber; and striated muscle thin filament. Part of actomyosin, myosin complex part. Expressed in several structures, including non-striated muscle; pharynx; spermatheca; ventral ganglion; and vulva.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
