Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionThe cup-5 gene encodes an ortholog of the human mucolipin 1 gene; cup-5 is required for viability, endo-lysosomal transport and the normal degradation of lysosomes; cup-5 mutants also show increased cell death, which might be a secondary consequence of lysosomal dysfunction; the inactivation of mrp-4 which is a ABCC transporter rescues most of the defects in cup-5 mutants, suggesting that the accumulation of ABC transporters in the absence of cup-5, may contribute to the lysosomal defects; cup-5 localizes to lysosomes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004655

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable NAADP-sensitive calcium-release channel activity and phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle; determination of adult lifespan; and lysosomal lumen acidification. Located in endolysosome and lysosomal membrane. Expressed in coelomocyte; head; intestinal cell; and neurons. Used to study mucolipidosis type IV. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy; glycoproteinosis; and mucolipidosis type IV. Is an ortholog of human MCOLN1 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 1); MCOLN2 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 2); and MCOLN3 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceThe human ortholog of the elegans cup-5 gene, mucolipin 1 is mutated in Mucolipidosis type IV, which is an an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder; human mucolipin 1 functions as a pH-modulated non-selective cation channel; studies in C. elegans indicate that cup-5/Mucolipin 1 is required for proper functioning of the lysosome, loss of cup-5 leads to lysosomal degradation, and that the accumulation of ABC transporters (mrp-4 in elegans) in lysosomes, might be a general mechanism by which an initial lysosomal defect is exacerbated.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00004655
