Aryl hydrocarbon receptor protein 1; Probable ligand-activated transcriptional activator. Acts as a transcriptional regulator in GABAergic motor neuron cell fate specification and development. Promotes cell-type-specific expression of guanylate cyclase genes that have key roles in aggregation behavior and hyperoxia avoidance. Has no role in carbon dioxide avoidance.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1; A transcription factor which is a key regulator in various cellular processes; including environment stress resistance (oxygen levels, hydrogen sulfide and cyanide levels and heat), negative regulation of cell apoptosis in ASJ neurons by inhibition of cep-1 via transcriptional activation of tyr-2, resistance/susceptibility to pathogenic bacteria, lifespan and brood size. Involved in mediating susceptibility to enteropathogenic E.coli. Increased levels of hif-1 activity confer resistance to P.aeruginosa-mediated death but also confer susceptibility to S.aureu [...]

Helix-loop-helix 34; Transcription factor that may be a master gene of CNS development in cooperation with Arnt. It may have pleiotropic effects in the tissues expressed during development (By similarity).

Period protein homolog lin-42; Transcriptional repressor which interacts with the promoter region of target genes. Has a specific role in developmental timing where it regulates temporal expression of a number of miRNAs and mRNAs. Controls temporal cell fate transition during embryonic and early larval development by restricting the expression of specific miRNAs, including let-7, miR-48, lin-4, miR-35 and miR-58. Restricts the accumulation of lin-29 in the hypodermis to the larval L4 stage, thus controlling terminal differentiation of seam cells. Has a role in the miRNA-mediated specif [...]

Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase; Cellular oxygen sensor which regulates the stability and the activity of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor, hif-1. In normoxic conditions, hydroxylates hif-1 targeting it for vhl-1-mediated proteasomal degradation. In addition, regulates hif-1 transcriptional activity in a vhl-1-independent manner and independently of its hydroxylase activity. By regulating hif-1 activity, controls several cellular responses. Mediates susceptibility to B.thuringiensis and V.cholerae pore-forming toxins and enteropathogenic E.coli. Mediates susceptibilit [...]

Heat shock protein 90; Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co- chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function. By stabilizing the receptor-type guanylate cyclase daf-11 or another sig [...]

Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor homolog; Involved in the response to variation in environmental oxygen levels by targeting the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor hif-1 for proteasomal degradation when oxygen levels are normal (around 20%). By regulating hif-1 expression, plays a role in iron homeostasis, aging, heat acclimation and progeny size. Mediates resistance to enteropathogenic E.coli. Mediates susceptibility to B.thuringiensis pore-forming toxins. Not involved in P.aeruginosa susceptibility. Belongs to the VHL family.

Nuclear hormone receptor family member nhr-23; Orphan nuclear receptor; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.

Protein timeless homolog; Plays an important role in chromosome cohesion during both mitosis and meiosis. In prophase of meiosis, it is involved in the formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC) and specifically, in the diplotene and diakinesis phases of prophase, it stabilizes the association of homologous chromosomes during synapsis and sister chromatid cohesion. It regulates cohesin subunits to promote meiotic chromosome cohesion and localizes non-SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome) cohesin subunits to chromatin prior to or during pre-meiotic S phase. Implicated in influencin [...]
