Controls plc-1 expression in the spermatheca to regulate spermathecal valve dilation. Acts with hda-1 as a downstream repressor of the kgb-1 mediated stress response pathway that transcriptionally represses genes involved in the response to heavy metals, such as kreg-1 ; Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. (467 aa) |
| | msp-77 | Major sperm protein 77/79; Central component in molecular interactions underlying sperm crawling. Forms an extensive filament system that extends from sperm villipoda, along the leading edge of the pseudopod. (127 aa) |
| | itr-1 | Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1; Receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, a second messenger that regulates intracellular calcium homeostasis. Binds in vitro to both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-InsP3) and inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate (2,4,5-InsP3) with high affinity and does not discriminate between the phosphate at 1 or 2 position. Can also bind inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (1,3,4,5-InsP4) and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (4,5-InsP2), but with lower affinity. Acts as a timekeeper/rhythm generator via calcium signaling, affecting the defecation cycle and pharyn [...] (2892 aa) |
| | pfn-2 | Profilin-2; Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG (By similarity). (131 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) |
| | cal-7 | EF-hand domain-containing protein. (179 aa) |
| | tni-1 | Troponin I 1; Troponin I is the inhibitory subunit of troponin, the thin filament regulatory complex which confers calcium-sensitivity to muscle actomyosin ATPase activity. (250 aa) |
| | mpk-1 | Mitogen-activated protein kinase mpk-1; Function in let-60 Ras signaling pathway; acts downstream of lin-45 raf kinase, but before the lin-1 gene product in controlling vulval cell differentiation. Plays a negative role in proximal germline proliferation in the mitotic zone. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. In oocytes, inhibits the activity of the chloride channel clh-3, likely by activating gck-3. Plays a role in response to M.nematophilum-mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Involved in fluid h [...] (444 aa) |
