Official Symbol: eya-1
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00001377
Locus tag: CELE_C49A1.4
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00001377
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: Predicted to enable protein tyrosine phosphatase activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including oviposition; positive regulation of cellular response to heat; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; intestine; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in auditory system disease (multiple); branchiootorenal syndrome (multiple); congestive heart failure; and dilated cardiomyopathy (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including EYA2 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2) and EYA4 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 4).

What's a GeneRIF?

eya-1 and pax-6/Pax6 mutants showed a strong genetic interaction for larval viability and embryonic anterior morphogenesis.
Title: The C. elegans eyes absent ortholog EYA-1 is required for tissue differentiation and plays partially redundant roles with PAX-6.
EYA-1 is required for stress resistance of worms, and it might act downstream of daf-16 to regulate expression of stress resistance-associated genes.
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans eyes absent ortholog EYA-1 is required for stress resistance.
Data show that loss of ceh-34 or eya-1 function causes survival of the M4 sister cell, which normally undergoes programmed cell death.
Title: Six and Eya promote apoptosis through direct transcriptional activation of the proapoptotic BH3-only gene egl-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Six homeodomain protein CEH-34 and its cofactor Eyes Absent, EYA-1, function synergistically to promote the non-muscle fate in cells also competent to form muscles.
Title: A conserved Six-Eya cassette acts downstream of Wnt signaling to direct non-myogenic versus myogenic fates in the C. elegans postembryonic mesoderm.
eya-1 was expressed in the nuclei of a subset of anterior cells, starting from the morphogenesis stage in embryogenesis; eya-1 and pax-6/Pax6 mutants showed a strong genetic interaction for larval viability and embryonic anterior morphogenesis.
Title: The C. elegans eyes absent ortholog EYA-1 is required for tissue differentiation and plays partially redundant roles with PAX-6.
