Summary: Predicted to enable dynein complex binding activity and microtubule plus-end binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chiasma assembly; engulfment of apoptotic cell; and microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary muscle; excretory cell; hypodermis; nervous system; and reproductive system. Used to study lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly and lissencephaly 1. Orthologous to human PAFAH1B1 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b regulatory subunit 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.
lis-1 induces a spindle checkpoint-dependent mitotic arrest in the germline and an increase in germ-cell apoptosis.
Title: Progression from mitotic catastrophe to germ cell death in Caenorhabditis elegans lis-1 mutants requires the spindle checkpoint.
Dynein and Lis1, albeit functioning in identical processes, are targeted partially independently of one another.
Title: lis-1 is required for dynein-dependent cell division processes in C. elegans embryos.
The convulsions mimicking epilepsy can be induced by a mutation in a C. elegans lis-1 allele (pnm-1), in combination with a chemical antagonist of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter signaling.
Title: Epileptic-like convulsions associated with LIS-1 in the cytoskeletal control of neurotransmitter signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans.
