Target of rapamycin homolog; Serine/threonine-protein kinase that regulates the mRNA translation machinery, probably by modulating the activity of translation factors such as eIF-4G and eIF-2. It may have some protein kinase activity instead of lipid kinase activity. May play a role in P-granule degradation by autophagy in somatic cells during embryogenesis. Required, during larval development, for the establishment of the proper number of germline progenitors, probably upstream of rsks-1 and ife-1. Required for larval development. May act as a mediator of lifespan regulation by insuli [...]

Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATM; Serine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling in the presence of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and other forms of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation and other genotoxic stresses such as UV. Plays a role in maintaining genome stability. Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. ATM subfamily.

RuvB-like 2; Possesses single-stranded DNA-stimulated ATPase and ATP- dependent DNA helicase (5' to 3') activity suggesting a role in nuclear processes such as recombination and transcription (By similarity). May participate in several chromatin remodeling complexes that mediate the ATP-dependent exchange of histones and remodel chromatin by shifting nucleosomes (By similarity). Involvement in these complexes is likely required for transcriptional activation of selected genes and DNA repair in response to DNA damage (By similarity). Has a role in gonadal development. Involved in the en [...]

Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR; Serine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling upon genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or DNA replication stalling, thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor (By similarity). Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q (By similarity). Phosphorylates various proteins, which collectively inhibits DNA replication and mitosis and promotes DNA repair and recombination (By similarity). Prevents mitotic catastrophe by functioning in the S-phase checkpoint and cooperating with atm-1 in the c [...]

ERCC4 domain-containing protein.

RuvB-like 1; Possesses single-stranded DNA-stimulated ATPase and ATP dependent DNA helicase (3' to 5') activity suggesting a role in nuclear processes such as recombination and transcription (By similarity). May participate in several chromatin remodeling complexes that mediate the ATP-dependent exchange of histones and remodel chromatin by shifting nucleosomes (By similarity). Involvement in these complexes is likely required for transcriptional activation of selected genes and DNA repair in response to DNA damage (By similarity). Involved in the Ce- Tor signaling pathway whereby it i [...]

Serine/threonine-protein kinase smg-1; Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in mRNA surveillance. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q. Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by phosphorylating smg-2.

Transcription-associated protein 1; Influences germ cell fate in hermaphrodites. Acts downstream of tra-2 and tra-3 and through the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex to regulate germ cell fate decisions (By similarity). Required for spermatogenesis and embryonic development (By similarity). Acts with tra-2 to promote expression of fog-3 and control male tail development (By similarity). Involved in the negative regulation of vulval development. Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. TRA1 subfamily.

Cell cycle checkpoint protein RAD1 homolog mrt-2; May be a component of the 9-1-1 cell-cycle checkpoint response complex that plays a major role in DNA repair. Promotes DNA double strand break- induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, thereby playing a role in genome stability. Also required for telomere length maintenance and germline immortality. May possess 3'->5' double stranded DNA exonuclease activity (By similarity). Belongs to the Rad1 family.
