Caenorhabditis elegans

ANI-1

CELE_Y49E10.19, Y49E10.19
ani-1 encodes one of three C. elegans anillins; ANI-1 activity is required in the early embryo for cortical contractile events, including polar body extrusion, membrane ruffling, and pseudocleavage; at later stages of development, ANI-1 also plays a role in cuticle formation, coordinated locomotion, vulval development, and male tail formation; in regulating cortical events, ANI-1 appears to function by positively regulating septin (UNC-59 and UNC-61) localization to the contractile ring as well as formation of septin- and NMY-2-containing cortical patches; in telophase embryos, ANI-1 localizes to the cell cortex and cleavage furrow.
