Y71H2AM.12Uncharacterized protein. (195 aa)
ubxn-2UBX domain-containing protein 2; Ubiquitin-binding protein which acts as an adapter for ATPase cdc-48.1 and/or cdc-48.2, conferring substrate specificity. Together with ubxn-2 and ubxn-3, plays a role in hermaphrodite spermatogenesis probably by promoting the degradation of sex determination terminal factor tra-1. Probably in association with ATPase cdc-48.1 or/and cdc-48.2, regulates the centrosomal levels of kinase air-1 levels during mitotic progression by promoting air-1 removal from centrosomes in prophase. Also, regulates spindle orientation in the one-cell embryo by controlling [...] (301 aa)
unc-16JNK-interacting protein; The JNK-interacting protein (JIP) group of scaffold proteins selectively mediates JNK signaling by aggregating specific components of the MAPK cascade to form a functional JNK signaling module. May function as a regulator of synaptic vesicle transport, through interactions with the JNK-signaling components and motor proteins. Binds specific components of the JNK signaling pathway namely jnk-1, jkk-1 and sek-1. Associates with components of the motor protein, kinesin-1. Pre-assembled unc-16 scaffolding complexes are then transported as a cargo of kinesin, to the [...] (1190 aa)
cyy-1Cyclin-Y; In association with pct-1, regulates the trafficking of synaptic vesicle precursors in DA motor neurons by promoting anterograde trafficking to the axon and preventing dynein-dependent trafficking to the dendrite. May also regulate synaptic vesicle trafficking in DD motor neurons and in RIA interneurons. Involved in synapse formation during DD motor neuron remodeling by disassembling ventral presynaptic structures. May activate cdk-5. Belongs to the cyclin family. (357 aa)
nck-1NCK (Non-Catalytic region of tyrosine Kinase) adaptor protein family. (395 aa)
unc-22Twitchin; Regulator of muscle contraction and relaxation. Senses mechanical strain that occurs during muscle activity by unfolding in clearly resolvable steps at differing forces. Plays a role in the organization of sarcomeres in body wall muscles ; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. (7158 aa)
let-60Ras protein let-60; The level of let-60 controls the switch between vulval and hypodermal cell fates during C.elegans vulval induction. May stimulate the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of rap-1. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family. (184 aa)
mel-26Protein maternal effect lethal 26; Probable substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of microtubule severing protein mei-1 after meiosis. Controls degradation of ppfr-1, the regulatory subunit of PP4 complex, after meiosis. In body wall muscles, involved in the organization of myosin thick filaments, likely by regulating the degradation of mei-1 downstream of unc-89. May also activate the TORC1 pathway. (399 aa)
