CELE_C07H6.6, rad-5, C07H6.6

The clk-2 gene encodes an ortholog of the S. cerevisiae telomere length-regulating protein Tel2p that has been shown to bind a number of DNA structures in vitro, including single-, double- and four-stranded DNA; in C. elegans, CLK-2 activity is required for the DNA damage and S phase replication checkpoints, for embryonic development, and for normal biological rhythms and life span; a functional CLK-2::GFP fusion protein is detected exclusively in the cytoplasm of somatic tissues.
