| | let-756 | Protein let-756; Required for larval development. Probably by binding receptor egl-15, regulates negatively membrane protrusion from body wall muscles during larval development. (425 aa) |
| | unc-78 | Actin-interacting protein 1; Induces disassembly of actin filaments in conjunction with ADF/cofilin family proteins. Regulator of actin organization in myofibrils. (611 aa) |
| | knl-1 | Kinetochore null protein 1; Proposed to be part of the KMN network incorporating the MIS12 complex and NDC80 complex that is required for establishing the kinetochore-microtubule interface that aids in chromosome segregation during meiotic and mitotic cell division. Appears to function downstream of hcp-3 (CENP-A) and hcp-4 (CENP-C) in the kinetochore assembly hierarchy. Has a role in the correct localization of the spindly-like protein spdl-1 and the RZZ complex that is composed of rod-1, czw-1 and zwl-1 to kinetochores. Required for the recruitment of spindle-assembly checkpoint comp [...] (1010 aa) |
| | ddi-1 | Protein DDI1 homolog 1; Aspartic protease. Required for the cleavage and activation of transcription factors such as isoform a of the transcription factor skn-1, which in turn regulates the expression of proteasomal subunits such as rpt-3; Belongs to the DDI1 family. (389 aa) |
| | rpm-1 | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase rpm-1; Atypical E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which specifically mediates ubiquitination of threonine and serine residues on target proteins, instead of ubiquitinating lysine residues (By similarity). Shows esterification activity towards both threonine and serine, with a preference for threonine, and acts via two essential catalytic cysteine residues that relay ubiquitin to its substrate via thioester intermediates (By similarity). Mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, including dlk-1. Negatively regulates a p38 MA [...] (3766 aa) |
| | fli-1 | Protein flightless-1 homolog; May play a key role in embryonic cellularization by interacting with both the cytoskeleton and other cellular components. (1257 aa) |
| | jnk-1 | Stress-activated protein kinase jnk-1; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors such as daf-16, and thus regulates transcriptional activity. By phosphorylating daf-16, plays a role in daf-16 nuclear translocation in intestinal cells in response to environmental stresses such as heat and oxidative stresses. Downstream of jkk-1, may coordinate locomotion via type-D GABAergic motoneurons and regulates synaptic vesicle transport in conjunction with unc-16. Independently of jkk-1, may regulate s [...] (463 aa) |
| | unc-44 | Uncharacterized protein. (6994 aa) |
| | pot-1 | Protection of telomeres homolog 1; Telomeric DNA-binding protein, which binds to single-stranded C-rich repeat sequences, with high specificity to the 5'-GCCTAA-3' sequence. Repeat sequence binding can be at the 5' or 3' telomeric end. May have a role in protecting the 5' end of the C-rich strand of the telomere. Acts redundantly with pot-2 to negatively regulate telomerase-mediated telomere extension. Also regulates telomere length by the telomerase-independent telomere maintenance pathway called ALT (alternative lengthening of telomeres). Through sun-1, anchors telomeres to the nucle [...] (400 aa) |
| | unc-5 | Netrin receptor unc-5; Receptor for netrin (unc-6) required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. Axon migration is mediated by the secreted unc-6, which promotes attraction of neurons and axons through binding to the unc-40 receptor, while repulsion requires both unc-5 and unc-40 receptors. Involved in the ventral-dorsal and anterior-posterior migration of distal tip cells along the body, which may be mediated by Wnt receptor mom-5, ced- 10/Rac, ced-12/ELMO and mig-2/RhoG. (947 aa) |
| | znf-207 | BED-type domain-containing protein. (341 aa) |
