emr-1

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
emr-1
Name
human EMeRin homolog 1
Synonyms
  • CELE_M01D7.6
  • M01D7.6
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables lamin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitotic cytokinesis; nuclear envelope organization; and response to X-ray. Located in nuclear inner membrane. Is expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; nervous system; and pharynx. Used to study Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human LEMD1 (LEM domain containing 1).
WB Description
emr-1 gene encodes a homolog of the human integral nuclear membrane protein emerin ; EMR-1 belongs to a family of proteins sharing the LEM-domain (LAP2-Emerin-MAN1 domain) that are generally conserved in metazoa and bind to lamin; EMR-1, along with another LEM-domain protein, LEM-2 is required for larval development, normal life-span, nuclear envelope and chromatin organization, chromosome segregation and cell division; emr-1 is also required for smooth muscle activity; emr-1 negatively regulates pha-4, the transcription factor required for pharynx identity; EMR-1 protein is found in the nuclear envelopes of all cell types except sperm and at all life stages; EMR-1 binds to lamin/LMN-1; emr-1 mutations also exhibit weak hypersensitivity to DNA damage.
