Protein maternal effect lethal 26; Probable substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of microtubule severing protein mei-1 after meiosis. Controls degradation of ppfr-1, the regulatory subunit of PP4 complex, after meiosis. In body wall muscles, involved in the organization of myosin thick filaments, likely by regulating the degradation of mei-1 downstream of unc-89. May also activate the TORC1 pathway.

Meiotic recombination protein spo-11; Required for meiotic recombination. Mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination.

Increased Sodium Tolerance Related.

Small ubiquitin-related modifier; Ubiquitin-like protein which can be covalently attached to target lysines as a monomer. Does not seem to be involved in protein degradation and may function as an antagonist of ubiquitin in the degradation process. Plays a role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex aos-1-uba-2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme ubc-9, and can be promoted by an E3 ligase such as gei-17. Required for embryonic dev [...]

Doa4-Independent Degradation, homologous to yeast Did2.

Cullin-3; Probable core component of multiple cullin-RING-based BCB (BTB-CUL3-BTB) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Probably acts as a scaffold protein which may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. Required to target mei-3/katanin for degradation at the meiosis to mitosis transition via its neddylation and deneddylation. Functions in ubiquitin-mediated degradation of CKIs to target cki-1 for degradation. Regulates microtubule st [...]

Meiotic spindle formation protein 2; Forms a heterodimeric complex in conjunction with mei-1 which severs microtubules in vitro in an ATP-dependent manner. This activity may promote rapid reorganization of cellular microtubule arrays. May act to target mei-1 within the cell. Required specifically for meiotic spindle formation in the female germline.

DNA replication licensing factor MCM7; Acts as component of the mcm2-7 complex (mcm complex) which is the putative replicative helicase essential for 'once per cell cycle' DNA replication initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. The active ATPase sites in the mcm2-7 ring are formed through the interaction surfaces of two neighboring subunits such that a critical structure of a conserved arginine finger motif is provided in trans relative to the ATP-binding site of the Walker A box of the adjacent subunit. The six ATPase active sites, however, are likely to contribute differential [...]
