Identification of Protein Substrates for Transglutaminase in Caenorhabditis elegans

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2001
Transglutaminase-dependent cross-linking of proteins leads to protein polymerisation that confers stability as well as resistance to mechanical disruption and chemical attack. Various transglutaminases have been implicated in a wide range of biological phenomena occurring in both extracellular and intracellular compartments, but further clarification ...

Lamin-Binding Proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans

2016
The nuclear lamina, composed of lamins and numerous lamin-associated proteins, is required for mechanical stability, mechanosensing, chromatin organization, developmental gene regulation, mRNA transcription, DNA replication, nuclear assembly, and nuclear positioning.

Protein Metabolism and Lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

2010
Lifespan of the versatile model system Caenorhabditis elegans can be extended by a decrease of insulin/IGF-1 signaling, TOR signaling, mitochondrial function, protein synthesis and dietary intake. The exact molecular mechanisms by which these modulations confer increased life expectancy are yet to be determined but increased stress resistance and ...

Claudin Family Proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans

2011
In the last decade, the claudin family of integral membrane proteins has been identified as the major protein component of the tight junctions in all vertebrates. The claudin superfamily proteins also function to regulate channel activity, intercellular signaling, and cell morphology.

Yolk proteins of Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Biology, 1983
A group of proteins judged on several criteria to be yolk proteins have been isolated from a homogenate of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Comparison of partial proteolysis fragments indicates that the two bands of a 170,000-dalton doublet (yp170) are closely related; bands observed at 115,000 daltons (yp115) and 88,000 daltons (yp88) appear to be

Functional constraint and divergence in the G protein family in Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae

Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2005
Part of the challenge of the post-genomic world is to identify functional elements within the wide array of information generated by genome sequencing. Although cross-species comparisons and investigation of rates of sequence divergence are an efficient approach, the relationship between sequence divergence and functional conservation is not clear ...

The Heterotrimeric G Protein Genes of Caenorhabditis elegans

2000
Caenorhabditis elegans is the first animal, and the first multicellular organism, for which the complete genomic sequence has been determined (The C. elegans Sequencing Consortium 1998). One of the new possibilities in post-sequence genetics is the immediate analysis of complete gene families.

A two-dimensional protein map of Caenorhabditis elegans

ELECTROPHORESIS, 2001
A protein map of Caenorhabditis elegans was constructed by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by peptide mass fingerprinting. A whole worm extract of a mixed population was separated on immobilized pH gradient strips 4-7 L, 3-10 NL, 6-11 L and 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel eletrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels.

Tat-mediated protein delivery in living Caenorhabditis elegans

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2007
The Tat protein from HIV-1 fused with heterologous proteins traverses biological membranes in a transcellular process called: protein transduction. This has already been successfully exploited in various biological models, but never in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. TAT-eGFP or GST-eGFP proteins were fed to C.

Tissue-specific synthesis of yolk proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Biology, 1983
The primary site of yolk protein synthesis in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, has been determined. In animals containing no gonadal cells (obtained by laser ablation of the gonadal precursor cells early in development), yolk proteins are present in abundance. This demonstrates that yolk proteins are made outside the gonad.
