Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncec-4 is an ortholog of human CBX1 (chromobox 1), CBX5 (chromobox 5) and CBX3 (chromobox 3); CEC-4 is required for the perinuclear anchoring of chromatin methylated on histone H3 Lysine 9 (H3K9) in embryos; the CEC-4 chromodomain is 42% identical to human CBX1 (chromobox 1) chromodomain and CBX5 (chromobox 5) chromodomain; CEC-4 has a large C-terminal domain that does not have homology to other known proteins; it has no chromoshadow domain, and no hinge domain and is therefore not a homolog of HP1; CEC-4-tagged version is expressed in all developmental stages of the worm life cycle, and it is localized to the inner nuclear membrane, positioned between nuclear pores; CEC-4 binds all methylated forms of H3K9 with similar affinities in in vitro assays; cec-4(ok3124) allele supports normal development and does not affect fertility.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00048885

Automated_descriptionEnables methylated histone binding activity. Involved in chromosome attachment to the nuclear envelope; regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nuclear inner membrane. Expressed in germ cell and somatic cell.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (14)
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
