jac-1

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
jac-1
Name
Juxtamembrane domain-Associated Catenin 1
Synonyms
  • CELE_Y105C5B.21
  • Y105C5B.21
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables cadherin binding activity. Involved in embryonic body morphogenesis; regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of protein localization. Located in adherens junction. Part of catenin complex. Is expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in DiGeorge syndrome; anxiety disorder; blepharocheilodontic syndrome 2; major depressive disorder; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including ARVCF (ARVCF delta catenin family member).
WB Description
jac-1 encodes the C. elegans p120 catenin orthologue; by homology, JAC-1 is predicted to be a component of the cadherin-catenin complex (CCC); jac-1(RNAi) does enhance embryonic morphogenesis defects produced by weak loss-of-function mutations in hmp-1/alpha-catenin, suggesting that JAC-1 positively regulates cadherin-catenin function in the embryo; JAC-1 likely regulates this function by promoting association between the actin cytoskeleton and the cadherin-catenin complex; a JAC-1 reporter fusion localizes to embryonic adherens junctions in a manner that is dependent upon the presence of HMR-1/cadherin, with which it specifically interacts in the yeast two-hybrid system.
