Zinc Finger and Homeobox.

G1/S-specific cyclin-D; In association with cdk-4, regulates the progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle during postembryonic development. Regulates proliferation of the coelomocyte lineage and intestinal cells during late embryogenesis. In complex with cdk-4, involved in sex determination during gonadogenesis by regulating the asymmetric division of the somatic gonadal precursor cell (SGP).

Tyrosine protein-kinase src-1; Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase which plays a role in endoderm development by controlling spindle orientation in EMS blastomere, probably downstream of receptor mes-1. Also involved in embryonic body morphogenesis, especially in the formation of the pharynx and the intestine. May be dispensable for pharyngeal muscle organization in the adult. Probably phosphorylates netrin receptor unc-5, to regulate distal tip cell (DTC) migration during gonad development and in axon repulsion. Plays a role in the migration of the QR neuroblast, a precursor of the A [...]

RING-type domain-containing protein.

Transcription factor unc-37; Transcriptional corepressor that functions with the neural specificity gene unc-4 to govern motor neuron identity. May function with transcription factor mls-1 to promote uterine muscle specification and formation.

Protein pop-1; Part of the Wnt signaling pathway essential for the specification of the mesodermal cell fate in early embryos. Required for asymmetrical division of somatic gonadal precursor descendants which initiate axis formation required to control organ shape. Represses expression of target genes via its interaction with hda-1 histone deacetylase. Required for specification of the M lineage-derived coelomocyte and sex myoblast fate. Regulates coelomocyte fate by positively regulating proliferation and ceh-34 and possibly eya-1 expression in M.dlpa and M.drpa precursors.

Transcription factor elt-1; Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-[AT]GATA[AG]-3' and variations thereof. During embryonic development, required for specification of cell fate of major hypodermal (epidermal) cells at the blastomere stage. The requirement is true for all four lineages derived from ABarp, ABpra and C blastomeres. Required for seam cell maintenance in late embryogenesis, for proper formation of dauer larvae and locomotion. Regulates expression of bro-1, a regulator of seam cell proliferation, via a GATA-like binding motif. Probably represses ex [...]

Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1; Arginine methyltransferase that methylates (mono and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues present in target proteins. Catalyzes the formation of monomethylarginine and asymmetric dimethylarginine on histones H2A and H4, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Catalyzes asymmetric arginine dimethylation of mitochondrial proteins necessary for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity and thus aerobic respiration and ATP synthesis, and the mitochondrial stress response. Methylates arginine r [...]
