Automated Description
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cilium organization; dauer entry; and hyperosmotic response. Located in axoneme and ciliary basal body. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in intestine and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Senior-Loken syndrome. Orthologous to human TRAF3IP1 (TRAF3 interacting protein 1).
WB Description
dyf-11 encodes a conserved protein that is orthologous to mammalian IFT54 (MIP-T3, Traf3ip1) and that contains a lysine-rich region and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain present in a number of intraflagellar transport complex B (IFT-B) proteins; DYF-11 activity is required continuously in sensory neurons for formation of medial and distal ciliary segments and thus, for normal sensory cilium morphology and function and chemotaxis; DYF-11 physically interacts with DYF-19, the C. elegans FBF1 (Fas(TNFRSF6)-binding factor 1) ortholog that localizes to ciliary transition fibers; a dyf-11::gfp promoter fusion is expressed in all ciliated sensory neurons as well as in the AQR, PQR, ADE, and PDR neurons; a DYF-11::GFP protein fusion is detected throughout the cilium and localizes to IFT-B subcomplexes in a manner consistent with an early role in IFT-B subcomplex assembly; dyf-11 expression in ciliated neurons is dependent upon the presence of the DAF-19 RFX transcription factor.
