Chitin-binding domain protein cbd-1; In unfertilized oocytes, maintains egg-1 and egg-2 at the plasma membrane together with chitin synthase chs-1 and kinase mbk-2. Essential for the formation of a continuous and cohesive chitin layer following fertilization.

Uncharacterized protein.

Argonaute protein wago-1; Argonaute protein which is involved in the endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. Interacts with secondary 22G- RNAs, which are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-derived endo-siRNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length with a 5'guanosine residue. In the germline, functions in a genome surveillance system to silence transposons and aberrant transcripts.

Guanyl-specific ribonuclease pgl-1; Guanyl-specific endoribonuclease which cleaves the phosphodiester bond in single-stranded RNA between the 3'-guanylic residue and the 5'-OH residue of adjacent nucleotide, resulting in the formation of a corresponding 2',3'-cyclic phosphate intermediate. Together with the P-granule component pgl-3, is involved in the formation of P-granules. Together with pgl-3, probably recruits other granule components such as pos-1, mex-3 and glh-1 to P-granules. In addition, may act redundantly with pgl-3 to protect germ cells from excessive germline apoptosis du [...]

HORMA domain-containing protein.

Guanyl-specific ribonuclease pgl-3; Guanyl-specific endoribonuclease which cleaves the phosphodiester bond in single-stranded RNA between the 3'-guanylic residue and the 5'-OH residue of adjacent nucleotide, resulting in the formation of a corresponding 2',3'-cyclic phosphate intermediate. P-granule component involved in germline development. Together with the P-granule component pgl-1, is involved in the formation of P-granules. Together with pgl- 1, probably recruits other granule components such as pos-1, mex-3 and glh-1, and RNA to P-granules. In vitro, binds mRNA; this interaction [...]
