WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00004143 Gene Name  pqn-59
Sequence Name  ? R119.4 Brief Description  pqn-59 encodes a protein containing a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich domain and similarity to the vertebrate ubiquitin-associated proteins UBAP2 and UBAP2L; microarray experiments indicate that pqn-59 is expressed maternally and embryonically and in situ hybridization studies show that pqn-59 mRNA exhibits strong germline expression; loss of pqn-59 activity via RNAi in a wild-type background results in eggs that are smaller than normal, embryonic and larval lethality, and animals that are sick with smaller than normal brood sizes; pqn-59(RNAi) in an rrf-3 background additionally results in uncoordinated locomotion, consistent with the presence of pqn-59 transcripts in motor neurons.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human UBAP2 (ubiquitin associated protein 2) and UBAP2L (ubiquitin associated protein 2 like).
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  I :-19.0539 ±0.002867
