Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others

ced-3Cell death protein 3 subunit p13; Acts as a cysteine protease in controlling programmed cell death (apoptosis) by proteolytically activating or inactivating a wide range of substrates. Component of the egl-1, ced-9, ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic signaling cascade required for the initiation of programmed cell death in cells fated to die during embryonic and postembryonic development. During oogenesis, required for germline apoptosis downstream of ced-9 and ced-4 but independently of egl-1.

ced-8Cell death abnormality protein 8; Acts downstream of ced-9 and caspase ced-3 to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface, possibly by mediating phospholipid scrambling. Phosphatidylserine is a specific marker only present at the surface of apoptotic cells and acts as a specific signal for engulfment. Regulates apoptosis kinetics during embryonic development. Not required for engulfment of germ cell corpses. Belongs to the XK family. (458 aa)
ttr-52Transthyretin-like protein 52; Plays a role as a bridging molecule that mediates recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells by cross-linking the surface-exposed phosphatidylserine with the extracellular domain of the phagocyte receptor ced-1. Important for the generation of extracellular phosphatidylserine vesicles that promote loss of the exoplasmic leaflet from apoptotic cells in a time-dependent manner. Required for the exposure of exoplasmic leaflet on the phagocytic cells surrounding the apoptotic cells. Does not affect the phosphatidylserine externalization in living cells. Ma [...] (135 aa)
egl-1Programmed cell death activator egl-1; Plays a major role in programmed cell death (PCD or apoptosis) by negatively regulating ced-9. Binds to and directly inhibits the activity of ced-9, releasing the cell death activator ced-4 from a ced- 9/ced-4 containing protein complex and allowing ced-4 to activate the cell-killing caspase ced-3. Required to activate programmed cell death in the sister cells of the serotonergic neurosecretory motor (NSM) neurons during embryogenesis. Required to activate programmed cell death in the sister cells of the M4 motor neuron and I1 pharyngeal neuron du [...] (106 aa)
psr-1Bifunctional arginine demethylase and lysyl-hydroxylase psr-1; Dioxygenase that can both act as a histone arginine demethylase and a lysyl-hydroxylase. (416 aa)
cep-1Transcription factor cep-1; Transcriptional activator that binds the same DNA consensus sequence as p53. Has a role in normal development to ensure proper meiotic chromosome segregation. Promotes apoptosis under conditions of cellular and genotoxic stress in response to DNA damage, hypoxia, or starvation. Regulates germline apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Its pro-apoptotic activity is inhibited when bound to ape-1 in vitro. Plays a role in cell cycle arrest in the germline in response to DNA damage by UV-C light. However, not required for survival in response to DNA damage induced [...] (644 aa)
ced-6Cell death protein 6; May function as an adapter protein in a pathway that mediates recognition and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells during normal development. Promotes engulfment of cells at both early and late stages of apoptosis. Required for actin reorganization around apoptotic cells. Belongs to the ced-6 family. (492 aa)
abl-1Tyrosine-protein kinase abl-1; Functions downstream of migratory protein mig-13 and is involved in Q neuroblast migration during larval development. Recruited by mig-13 to the leading edge of Q neuroblasts and their descendents to signal downstream, likely to the wve-1 pathway, and direct migration along the anteroposterior body axis. Promotes germline cell apoptosis in response to oxidative, osmotic and heat shock stresses. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. ABL subfamily. (1224 aa)
ced-13Uncharacterized protein. (98 aa)
ced-9Apoptosis regulator ced-9; Plays a major role in programmed cell death (PCD, apoptosis). egl-1 binds to and directly inhibits the activity of ced-9, releasing the cell death activator ced-4 from a ced-9/ced-4 containing protein complex and allowing ced-4 to activate the cell-killing caspase ced-3. During larval development, required for the elimination of transient presynaptic components downstream of egl-1 and upstream of ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic pathway. (280 aa)
scrm-1Phospholipid scramblase; May mediate accelerated ATP-independent bidirectional transbilayer migration of phospholipids upon binding calcium ions that results in a loss of phospholipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane. (295 aa)
ced-12Cell death abnormality protein 12; Involved in programmed apoptosis and necrosis. Required for the cell corpse engulfment process. Has roles in the formation of actin halos and distal tip cell migration. Negatively regulates the unc-6/Netrin receptor unc-5 to control distal tip cell migration along the anterior-posterior axis of the body. Plays no role in amphid axon outgrowth. (738 aa)
ced-2Cell death abnormality protein 2; Required for cell migration and engulfment of cell corpses but not for programmed cell death/apoptosis. Has a role in the migration of the 2 gonadal distal tip cells (DTCs). (279 aa)
ced-1Cell death abnormality protein 1; Involved in programmed cell death, also called apoptosis, in both somatic and germ cells. Acts by recruiting ced-6 to phagosomes which enables actin-dependent cytoskeletal reorganization and subsequent engulfment of the apoptotic cell corpse. Has a role in the association of ppk-3 and rab-7 with the phagosomal surface which is necessary for the incorporation of lysosomes to phagosomes during phagosome maturation. Activates the expression of unfolded protein response genes, which are involved in the immune response to live bacteria. (1111 aa)
csp-3Non-catalytic caspase homolog csp-3; Non-catalytic caspase homolog which does not contain the region necessary for caspase activity. Acts as an inhibitor of caspase ced-3 zymogen autoactivation and delays ced-4- induced ced-3 processing. Has no effect on active ced-3. Probably by preventing ced-3 activation, protects cells, whose fate is to live, from apoptosis during embryonic and larval development ; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (139 aa)
csp-2Putative inactive caspase B subunit p17; [Isoform b]: Putative inactive caspase. In the germline, binds caspase ced-3 zymogen and prevents ced-3 autoactivation. Does not affect the caspase activity of mature ced-3 and ced-4-mediated mature ced-3 activation. Negatively regulates germline apoptosis by inhibiting autocleavage of caspase ced-3. Involved in fertility ; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (826 aa)
