protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in mesodermal cell fate specification; positive regulation of apoptotic process involved in development; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in body wall musculature; head; male sex myoblast; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 23; branchiootorenal syndrome; nephroblastoma; and renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human SIX1 (SIX homeobox 1) and SIX2 (SIX homeobox 2).
WB Description
ceh-34 encodes a homeodomain protein, homologous to human SIX2 (OMIM:604994); ceh-34 activity is required for regulation of the programmed cell death of a pharyngeal neuron, the sister of the M4 motor neuron; CEH-34 binds the egl-1 5'-regulatory region in vitro and acts together with EYA-1, with which it physically interacts, to regulate expression of egl-1 to promote programmed cell death of the M4 sister; CEH-34 and EYA-1 also function together, downstream of the Wnt signaling pathway, to regulate non-muscle cell fate specification in the postembryonic mesoderm; a ceh-34::gfp fusion is expressed predominantly in pharyngeal cells with some expression also seen in anterior body wall muscles near the pharynx and also in the coelomocyte precursors; CEH-34::GFP localizes to nuclei.
