Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

daf-16Forkhead box protein O; Forkhead-type transcription factor. Binds to the promoters of genes that contain the daf-16 binding element (DBE), TTGTTTAC, in their regulatory region. Functions in the Insulin/IGF-1-like signaling (IIS) mediated pathway which affects lipogenesis, lifespan, starvation survival, heat shock and oxidative stress responses, and dauer formation. Longevity signaling predominantly arises from expression in the intestine. Daf-16 transcriptional activity is negatively regulated by cytoplasmic sequestration by association with ftt-2. Inhibition is required for the carbon [...] (541 aa)

cpl-1Cathepsin L-like; Cysteine protease which plays an essential role in the degradation of proteins in lysosomes. During early embryogenesis, maternally required for the proteolytic processing of yolk proteins in platelets, a lysosome- like structure where a slow and controlled degradation of yolk proteins occurs. In the gonad, required for the clearance of apoptotic germ cells in the engulfing cell phagolysosomes. In embryos, required for the degradation of endocytic and autophagic cargos. In embryos, may play a role in the degradation of lipid-containing droplets. Required for larval de [...] (337 aa)
ced-9Apoptosis regulator ced-9; Plays a major role in programmed cell death (PCD, apoptosis). egl-1 binds to and directly inhibits the activity of ced-9, releasing the cell death activator ced-4 from a ced-9/ced-4 containing protein complex and allowing ced-4 to activate the cell-killing caspase ced-3. During larval development, required for the elimination of transient presynaptic components downstream of egl-1 and upstream of ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic pathway. (280 aa)
act-5ACTin. (375 aa)
rab-7RAB family. (209 aa)
lst-4Sorting nexin lst-4; Involved in the signaling of vulval development by acting as a negative regulator of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. Aids in phagosomal membrane tubule formation which is required for phagosomal fusion with endosomes and lysosomes. Also recruits rab-7 to phagosomes by an interaction with dyn-1. These are events leading to phagosome maturation which is a step in apoptotic cell corpse clearance. Binds phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. Belongs to the sorting nexin family. (592 aa)
crt-1Calreticulin; Molecular calcium-binding chaperone promoting folding, oligomeric assembly and quality control in the ER via the calreticulin/calnexin cycle (By similarity). This lectin may interact transiently with almost all of the monoglucosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized in the ER (By similarity). Probably by controlling the folding of extracellular matrix protein unc-52/Perlecan, may play a role in the formation of fibrous organelles, a hemidesmosome-like structure attaching muscles to the epidermis. Protects dopaminergic neurons against oxidative stress-induced neurodegen [...] (395 aa)
laat-1Lysosomal amino acid transporter 1; Amino acid transporter that specifically mediates the pH- dependent export of the cationic amino acids arginine, histidine and lysine from lysosomes.

Required for the exposure of exoplasmic leaflet on the phagocytic cells surrounding the apoptotic cells. Does not affect the phosphatidylserine externalization in living cells. Ma [...] (135 aa)
ced-3Cell death protein 3 subunit p13; Acts as a cysteine protease in controlling programmed cell death (apoptosis) by proteolytically activating or inactivating a wide range of substrates. Component of the egl-1, ced-9, ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic signaling cascade required for the initiation of programmed cell death in cells fated to die during embryonic and postembryonic development.
