Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionwdr-23 encodes a WD40 repeat-containing protein; WDR-23 functions as part of a CUL-4/DDB-1 ubiquitin ligase complex that negatively regulates accumulation and hence, transcriptional activation activity of the SKN-1 transcription factor in intestinal nuclei; wdr-23 activity is thus required for regulation of stress resistance, longevity, and normal growth and development; WDR-23 physically interacts with DDB-1 and SKN-1, thus likely serving as a bridge between the ubiquitin ligase complex and its SKN-1 substrate; in regulating skn-1 function, wdr-23 appears to act downstream of the p38 MAPK pathway and together with gsk-3 and the daf-2-mediated insulin signaling pathway; WDR-23 is expressed in the intestine, hypodermis, and neurons, where it localizes to nuclei.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00032980

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; negative regulation of cellular response to manganese ion; and proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; neuronal cell body; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in ASIL; ASIR; head; muscle cell; and tail. Is an ortholog of human DCAF11 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 11).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (48)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
