Summary: Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Involved in GABAergic synaptic transmission; nuclear migration; and synaptic vesicle transport. Located in nuclear envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including hypodermal cell; neurons; non-striated muscle; rectal valve cell; and tail hypodermis. Used to study epilepsy and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 4. Orthologous to human NDE1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1) and NDEL1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1 like 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

The C. elegans NudE homolog NUD-2 is dispensable for dynein- and LIS-1-dependent mitotic spindle assembly in the zygote. This facilitates functional characterization of kinetochore-localized NUD-2, which is recruited by the CENP-F-like proteins HCP-1 and HCP-2 independently of RZZ-Spindly and dynein-LIS-1.
Title: NudE regulates dynein at kinetochores but is dispensable for other dynein functions in the C. elegans early embryo.
