CELE_F59A2.5

F59A2.5 encodes a moderately small (123-residue) protein; F59A2.5 is orthologous to Brugia 14979.m04575, and more distantly similar to budding yeast Pcc1p, to human CTAG1B (OMIM:300156, cancer antigen), CTAG2 (OMIM:300396, melanoma antigen), and LAGE3 (OMIM:300060), and to many other uncharacterized proteins, ~80-200 residues long, in animals, fungi, and plants; F59A2.5 is required for fertility and embryonic development in mass RNAi assays and is bound by CKU-80 in two-hybrid assays; F59A2.5 is transcriptionally activated by HLH-2 and HLH-8, but has no known expression pattern; while F59A2.5 is putatively secreted and its human homologs are antigens, its yeast homolog Pcc1p is thought to be a transcription factor.
