Cell 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. By cleaving and activating ced-8, promotes phosphatidylserine exposure on the surface of apoptotic ce [...]

Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase; Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in cell autonomous neuroblast asymmetric divisions that generate one precursor cell and one apoptotic cell by controlling spindle positioning, myosin distribution and the segregation of cell fate determinants. Promotes cell shedding during embryogenesis, probably through the endocytosis-mediated removal of cell adhesion molecules such as hmp-1 from the cell surface. May act downstream of par-4/strd-1/mop-25 to regulate cell shedding.
