CELE_F33A8.1, F33A8.1

let-858 encodes nucampholin, a highly conserved protein rich in acidic and basic residues that also shares some similarity to eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-4 gamma; LET-858 is required for early embryogenesis and tissue differentiation and is expressed ubiquitously throughout development; LET-858 localizes to nuclei where it overlaps, but is not restricted to, chromosomal regions; based upon its sequence and localization, LET-858 is likely to be involved in protein synthesis and/or RNA binding.
