Protein interactome mapping in Caenorhabditis elegans
Current Opinion in Systems Biology, 2019 The systematic identification of all protein-protein interactions that take place in an organism (the 'interactome') is an important goal in modern biology. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was one of the first multicellular models for which a proteome-wide interactome mapping project was initiated.

Experimental considerations for study of C. elegans lysosomal proteins
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Lysosomes are an important organelle required for the degradation of a range of cellular components. Lysosome function is critical for development and homeostasis as dysfunction can lead to inherited genetic disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative and ...

The ribosomal protein RACK1 is required for microRNA function in both C. elegans and humans [PDF]
, 2011 Despite the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gene regulation, it is unclear how the miRNA-Argonaute complex-or miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC)-can regulate the translation of their targets in such diverse ways.

The Caenorhabditis elegans Protein FIC-1 Is an AMPylase That Covalently Modifies Heat-Shock 70 Family Proteins, Translation Elongation Factors and Histones. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 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-

Ancestral roles of the Fam20C family of secreted protein kinases revealed in C. elegans. [PDF]
, 2019 Fam20C is a secreted protein kinase mutated in Raine syndrome, a human skeletal disorder. In vertebrates, bone and enamel proteins are major Fam20C substrates.

Regulatory elements of Caenorhabditis elegans ribosomal protein genes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2012 Abstract Background Ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) are essential, tightly regulated, and highly expressed during embryonic development and cell growth. Even though their protein sequences are strongly conserved, their mechanism of regulation is not conserved across yeast, Drosophila, and vertebrates.

G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK-2) regulates serotonin metabolism through the monoamine oxidase AMX-2 in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
, 2017 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate many animal behaviors. GPCR signaling is mediated by agonist-promoted interactions of GPCRs with heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCR kinases (GRKs), and arrestins.

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
, 2006 Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Homologous and unique G protein alpha subunits in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 1991 A cDNA corresponding to a known G protein alpha subunit, the alpha subunit of Go (Go alpha), was isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence of C. elegans Go alpha is 80-87% identical to other Go alpha sequences.
