CELE_C47E8.7, C47E8.7

The unc-112 gene encodes a pleckstrin homology domain-containing protein, orthologous to human Mitogen inducible gene-2, that is required for assembly of muscle dense bodies and M lines during embryogenesis; UNC-112 is a dense body/M-line component and requires PAT-3/beta-integrin, UNC-52/perlecan, and PAT-4/integrin-linked kinase for proper localization; UNC-112 binds PAT-4 directly, forms a ternary complex with PAT-4 and PAT-6/actopaxin, and is required for recruitment of PAT-3 and PAT-4 to muscle cell attachment sites; viable unc-112 mutations are suppressed by mutation of dim-1.
