smo-1 | Small ubiquitin-related modifier; Ubiquitin-like protein which can be covalently attached to target lysines as a monomer. Does not seem to be involved in protein degradation and may function as an antagonist of ubiquitin in the degradation process. Plays a role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex aos-1-uba-2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme ubc-9, and can be promoted by an E3 ligase such as gei-17. Required for embryonic dev [...] (91 aa) | ||||
nrde-3 | Nuclear RNAi defective-3 protein; Transports small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Required for RNA interference (RNAi) in nuclei. Required for exogenous RNAi-induced H3K27 methylation. (1057 aa) | ||||
ned-8 | NEDD8; Ubiquitin-like protein which plays an important role in cell cycle control and embryogenesis. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex uba-3-ula-1 and linkage to the E2 enzyme ubc-12. Attachment of ned-8 to cullins activates their associated E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and thus promotes polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of cyclins and other regulatory proteins. (77 aa) | ||||
cdc-14 | Tyrosine-protein phosphatase cdc-14; Protein phosphatase that negatively regulates the G1-to-S phase transition to inhibit the cell cycle and establish quiescence in cells of multiple lineages including vulval, hypodermal and intestinal. Promotes nuclear accumulation and activity of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor cki-1 which leads to inhibition of G1 progression during vulval tissue development. Has been shown to not be required for cytokinesis. However, in the embryo, in a contrasting study, has been shown to act as a regulator of central spindle formation and cytokinesis, and [...] (709 aa) | ||||
ubc-9 | SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBC9; Accepts the ubiquitin-like protein smo-1 from the aos-1-uba-2 E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins with the help of an E3 ligase such as gei-17. Required to sumoylate the ETS transcription factor lin-1 and the Polycomb protein sop-2. Required for embryonic development, fertility, vulval morphogenesis and inhibition of vulval cell fates. Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family. (166 aa) |
