Comparative functional analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster proteomes. [PDF]
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a popular model system in genetics, not least because a majority of human disease genes are conserved in C. elegans.

Nuclear/Cytoplasmic Fractionation of Proteins from Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
C. elegans is widely used to investigate biological processes related to health and disease. To study protein localization, fluorescently-tagged proteins can be used in vivo or immunohistochemistry can be performed in whole worms.

The Caenorhabditis elegans Protein FIC-1 Is an AMPylase That Covalently Modifies Heat-Shock 70 Family Proteins, Translation Elongation Factors and Histones. [PDF]
Protein AMPylation by Fic domain-containing proteins (Fic proteins) is an ancient and conserved post-translational modification of mostly unexplored significance. Here we characterize the Caenorhabditis elegans Fic protein FIC-1 in vitro and in vivo. FIC-

Proteome-based investigation of O-GlcNAcylation in a C. elegans model of ageing and Alzheimer's disease: Functional support for earlier hypothesis-generating findings. [PDF]
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. The identity of O-GlcNAcylated proteins during ageing and neurodegenerative disease remains incompletely ...

Prereplication complex proteins get caught moonlighting
In this issue of PLOS Biology, Lattmann and colleagues report a new function for proteins of the DNA prereplication complex promoting the anchor cell to invade through the basement membrane and initiate vulval development in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetic analysis suggests a surface of PAT-4 (ILK) that interacts with UNC-112 (kindlin)
Integrin plays a crucial role in the attachment of cells to the extracellular matrix. Integrin recruits many proteins intracellularly, including a 4-protein complex (kindlin, ILK, PINCH, and parvin).
