Neuroligin-1; Probable neuronal cell surface protein thought to be involved in cell-cell-interactions by forming intercellular junctions through binding to beta-neurexins (By similarity). Plays a role in the clustering of the GABA(A) receptor unc-49 at postsynaptic sites in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) via the interaction with madd-4 and neurexin nrx-1 and is thereby required for normal GABAergic synaptic transmission. Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.

J domain-containing protein.

60S ribosomal protein L23a 1; This protein binds to a specific region on the 26S rRNA.

Tetraspanin-17; Protects dopaminergic neurons against oxidative stress- induced neurodegeneration. May act partly via dopamine receptor dop-2 to negatively regulate dopamine reuptake transporter dat-1 activity. Also plays a role in modulating behaviors linked to dopamine signaling. Confers protection against oxidative stress in the whole body.

TransThyretin-Related family domain.

Disks large homolog 1; Essential multidomain scaffolding protein required for normal development (Probable). Recruits channels, receptors and signaling molecules to discrete plasma membrane domains in polarized cells (By similarity). Required for proper embryonic elongation. Acts upstream of ajm-1 and becomes localized to apical junctions independently of ajm-1. With let-413, cooperatively regulates ajm-1 localization to apical junctions. Belongs to the MAGUK family.

Protein lin-2; May play a structural role in the induction of the vulva. May be required for the localization of signal transduction molecules (such as let-23 receptor) to either the basal membrane domain or the cell junctions.

Protein shank; Scaffold protein that most likely acts in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses which orchestrates synapse formation and maintenance at neuromuscular junctions. Associates with and trafficks the L-type calcium channel egl-19 to the cell surface of body wall muscles to ensure the function of the calcium channel and therefore maintain the Ca(2+) current density. The maintenance of Ca(2+) also allows for the downstream regulation of Ca(2+)-induced expression of genes such as gem-4. Plays a role in the regulation of the defecation cycle, and this may be in as [...]

Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-1; Serine/threonine kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Phosphorylates snk-1 which probably regulates skn-1 nuclear translocation in response to oxidative stress. Probably by activating skn-1, involved in the up- regulation of gcs-1 and glutathione-S-transferase gst-4 expression upon bacteria infection. Up-regulates expression of gcs-1 in intestinal cells upon arsenite treatment. Functions downstream of the MAPKK sek-1 and the MAPKKK nsy-1 as the MAP kinase [...]
