Lamin-Binding Proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans
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.

Immunofluorescent Localization of Proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans Muscle [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans is a premier model genetic system for discovering new information about the assembly and maintenance of striated muscle. The localization of a protein within a nematode muscle cell can reveal important clues to its function. In C.

CeLINC, a fluorescence-based protein–protein interaction assay in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Abstract Interactions among proteins are fundamental for life and determining whether two particular proteins physically interact can be essential for fully understanding a protein’s function. We present Caenorhabditis elegans light-induced coclustering (CeLINC), an optical binary protein–protein interaction assay to determine whether

Ancestral roles of the Fam20C family of secreted protein kinases revealed in C. elegans. [PDF]
Fam20C is a secreted protein kinase mutated in Raine syndrome, a human skeletal disorder. In vertebrates, bone and enamel proteins are major Fam20C substrates.

Defective Mitochondrial Protein Translocation Precludes Normal Caenorhabditis elegans Development [PDF]
We demonstrate biochemically that the genes identified by sequence similarity as orthologs of the mitochondrial import machinery are functionally conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans. Specifically, tin-9.1 and tin-10 RNA interference (RNAi) treatment of nematodes impairs import of the ADP/ATP carrier into isolated mitochondria.

A systematic analysis of protein palmitoylation in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational protein modification which involves the addition of palmitate to cysteine residues. Palmitoylation is catalysed by the DHHC family of palmitoyl-acyl transferases (PATs) and reversibility is conferred by palmitoyl-protein thioesterases (PPTs).

An Activating Mutation in sos-1 Identifies Its Dbl Domain as a Critical Inhibitor of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Pathway during Caenorhabditis elegans Vulval Development [PDF]
Proper regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways is critical for normal development and the prevention of cancer.
