- Description
- asg-2 encodes a homolog of subunit G of the membrane-bound F0 proton channel portion of ATP synthase (mitochondrial respiratory chain [MRC] complex V); asg-2 activity is required for growth at a normally high rate and for normal osmoregulation; in addition, asg-2 activity is required for response to hermaphrodite contact, the first step in a series of stereotypical male mating behaviors; an ASG-2::GFP fusion localizes to mitochondria and to cilia of the male-specific CEM neurons.
