csp-2 | Putative 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) | ||||
csp-3 | Non-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) | ||||
npp-14 | Nuclear pore complex protein 14; May serve as a docking site in the receptor-mediated import of substrates across the nuclear pore complex (By similarity). Plays a role in apoptosis by tethering caspase ced-3 to the nuclear membrane preventing its autoprocessing in absence of ced-4. (1390 aa) |
