gsk-3 Glycogen synthase kinase-3 [Caenorhabditis elegans] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: gsk-3
Official Full Name: Glycogen synthase kinase-3
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00001746
Locus tag: CELE_Y18D10A.5
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00001746
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway, regulating spindle positioning; engulfment of apoptotic cell; and left/right axis specification. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in distal tip cell; germ line; seam cell; and sperm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; bipolar disorder; oral squamous cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human GSK3A (glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha) and GSK3B (glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Negative feedback by conserved kinases patterns the degradation of Caenorhabditis elegans Raf in vulval fate patterning.
Title: Negative feedback by conserved kinases patterns the degradation of Caenorhabditiselegans Raf in vulval fate patterning.
In C. elegans germline stem cells, loss of gsk-3 results in reduced germline stem cell proliferation without changes in differentiation or responsiveness to GLP-1/Notch signaling.
Title: GSK-3 promotes S-phase entry and progression in C. elegans germline stem cells to maintain tissue output.
Rearrangement of mitotic spindles requires the GSK-3 kinase. Apoptotic cell clearance and migration of the distal tip cell require the GSK-3 kinase.
Title: The Wnt pathway controls cell death engulfment, spindle orientation, and migration through CED-10/Rac.
(i) GSK-3 inhibits SKN-1 activity in the intestine, (ii) the phase II response integrates multiple regulatory signals, and (iii), by inhibiting this response, GSK-3 may influence redox conditions.
