gene: egl-44 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; positive regulation of exit from mitosis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including anterior hypodermis; body wall musculature; ganglia; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sveinsson chorioretinal atrophy. Is an ortholog of human TEAD2 (TEA domain transcription factor 2) and TEAD4 (TEA domain transcription factor 4).
gene: yap-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in establishment of cell polarity and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in axoneme; ciliary base; and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including excretory system; hermaphrodite gonad; pharyngeal muscle cell; tail hypodermis; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and uveal coloboma-cleft lip and palate-intellectual disability. Is an ortholog of human WWTR1 (WW domain containing transcription regulator 1) and YAP1 (Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator).
