CELE_F39B2.2, mms-2, F39B2.2

uev-1 encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (UBC or E2) variant that contains the characteristic UBC motif, but lacks the critical active-site cysteine residue necessary for catalytic activity; UEV-1 activity is required cell autonomously for normal trafficking of the GLR-1 glutamate receptor and consequently, for normal locomotory behavior; UEV-1 physically interacts with the UBC-13 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme that is also required for normal locomotory behavior and that is also likely involved in the DNA damage response; a uev-1::gfp reporter fusion is expressed in a wide variety of tissues including the pharynx, neurons, muscle cells, vulva, intestine, distal tip cell, and cells in the anus/tail; UEV-1 reporter fusions localize to nuclei, the cytosol, and ventral cord neurites.
