Required for the suppression of vulval induction in response to food starvation. Signaling acts through the GPA-5 G-alpha protein subunit; Belongs to the nematode receptor-like protein sra family. (335 aa) |
| | dpy-22 | Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 12; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors (By similarity). Functio [...] (3498 aa) |
| | sdz-19 | SKN-1 Dependent Zygotic transcript. (139 aa) |
| | dep-1 | Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase dep-1; Phosphatase which may dephosphorylate receptor let-23 and thereby regulate cell fate during the development of the vulva and the excretory system. By inhibiting let-23 signaling prevents the establishment of a primary cell fate in the descendants of vulva precursor cells P5.p and P7.p. Similarly, may prevent duct cell fate in ABpr precursor. Also dephosphorylates the beta-integrin subunit pat-3, probably within the alpha pat-2/beta pat-3 integrin receptor complex, which leads to down- stream effects including the negative regulation of [...] (1367 aa) |
| | gon-14 | Dimer_Tnp_hAT domain-containing protein. (923 aa) |
| | sig-7 | Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase sig-7; Probable PPIase that accelerates the folding of proteins (By similarity). It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides (By similarity). Involved in RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II)-mediated transcription elongation, and in primary transcript splicing, including co-transcriptional trans- splicing, in association with the catalytic subunit of the RNA pol II complex ama-1. Also plays a role in the regulation of elongation-dependent phosphorylation of ama-1 to control transcription. Involved in the transc [...] (427 aa) |
| | tsp-14 | Tetraspanin-14; Together with tsp-12, regulates cell fate specification in the postembryonic mesodermal M lineage, body size and male development, probably by positively modulating BMP-like Sma/Mab signaling. Together with tsp-12, probably acts by modulating the activation of glp-1, Notch-like receptor, to regulate germline maturation ; Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family. (451 aa) |
| | isw-1 | Chromatin-remodeling complex ATPase chain isw-1; Energy-transducing component of a NURF-like (nucleosome- remodeling factor-like) complex, which would catalyze ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitate transcription of chromatin (Probable). Involved in vulval cell fates. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. ISWI subfamily. (1009 aa) |
| | lin-3 | Protein lin-3; Probable ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor let-23. Essential for vulval induction, where it acts downstream of the synthetic multivulva (synMuv) class genes. Probably by activating let-23, phospholipase plc-3 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1 signaling cascade, plays a role in ovulation by promoting gonadal sheath cell contractions and spermatheca dilatation during ovulation. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission in ALA neurons, mediates the decrease in pharyngeal pumping and locomotion during the quiescent state that precedes each larval molt, by [...] (477 aa) |
| | rgl-1 | Ral GDS-Like. (880 aa) |
| | tam-1 | RING-type domain-containing protein. (944 aa) |
| | rom-1 | Rhomboid-related protein 1; Serine protease which activates lin-3 isoform a in the proximal vulva precursor cells (VPC) during vulva development to transmit the inductive anchor cell signal to the distal VPCs. (356 aa) |
| | let-418 | Protein let-418; Part of a NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase) complex which is implicated in the synMuv B pathway that negatively regulates specification of vulval cell fate. This negative regulation is thought to be mediated via interaction with the promoter of lin-39, a key regulator in vulva development, and is dependent on the presence lin-1. Contributes to negative regulation of lag-2 which is expressed in the gut during larval development. Has a broad role in development. In association with akir-1, plays a role in regulating the transcription of antimicrobial peptide g [...] (1829 aa) |
| | sur-6 | Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit sur-6; Probable regulatory subunit of serine/threonine phosphatase let-92. Together with let-92 and constant regulatory subunit paa-1, positively regulates centriole duplication during early embryonic cell divisions by preventing the degradation of sas-5 and kinase zyg-1. In addition, during vulva development, may play a role with phosphatase let-92 and regulatory subunit paa-1 in the induction of vulva cell precursors by positively regulating let-60/Ras- MAP kinase signaling, probably by promoting lin-45 activation.
