age-1 | B0334.8 | WBGene00000090 |
age-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) p110 catalytic subunit; AGE-1, supplied maternally and embryonically, is a central component of the C. elegans insulin-like signaling pathway, lying downstream of the DAF-2/insulin receptor and upstream of both the PDK-1 and AKT-1/AKT-2 kinases and the DAF-16 forkhead type transcription factor, whose negative regulation is the key output of the insulin signaling pathway; in accordance with its role in insulin signaling, AGE-1 activity is required for regulation of metabolism, life span, dauer formation, stress resistance, salt chemotaxis learning, fertility, and embryonic development; although the age-1 expression pattern has not yet been reported, ectopic expression studies indicate that pan-neuronal age-1 expression is sufficient to rescue life-span defects, while neuronal, intestinal, or muscle expression can partially rescue dauer formation, and neuronal or muscle expression can rescue metabolic defects.

ags-3 | F32A6.4 | WBGene00000092 |
ags-3 encodes an ortholog of mammalian AGS3, a receptor independent activator of G protein signalling, and of Drosophila RAPSYNOID; AGS-3 proteins have four GoLoco motifs; AGS-3 is involved in polarity and spindle orientation during early embryogenesis; a region of AGS-3 encompassing three GoLoco motifs specifically binds GOA-1 in yeast two-hybrid assays; AGS-3 is expressed in all muscles, intestine, and weakly in some head and ventral nerve cord neurons, with subcellular localization in strong dots.

aha-1 | C25A1.11 | WBGene00000095 |
aha-1 encodes an ortholog of human aryl-hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator; interacts with AHR-1 and HIF-1 in vitro, requires HIF-1 for proper localization, and is expressed ubiquitously.

aip-1 | F58E10.4 | WBGene00000097 |
aip-1 encodes an AN-1-like zinc finger-containing protein homologous to arsenite-inducible RNA-associated protein (AIRAP), conserved among C. elegans, Drosophila, and mammals; like AIRAP itself, AIP-1 protects cells from arsenite toxicity; AIP-1 is a predicted RNA binding protein that may function in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis following aresenite treatment; AIP-1 does not appear to be essential for viability, but is expressed at high levels in hypodermal and intestinal cells following such treatment.

alg-2 | T07D3.7 | WBGene00000106 |
alg-2 encodes a PAZ and PIWI-domain containing protein that is a member of the highly conserved eukaryotic RDE-1/AGO1/PIWI family of proteins that regulate posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS); ALG-2 functions with ALG-1 to control specific developmental timing events by positively regulating expression of small temporal RNAs (stRNAs) encoded by lin-4 and let-7; ALG-2 and ALG-1 are also required for RNAi in the germ line, although they are not required for RNAi in the soma; ALG-2 is expressed in nearly all cells from embryogenesis through adulthood and localizes to the cytoplasm.

alh-1 | F54D8.3 | WBGene00000107 |
alh-1 is orthologous to the human gene ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 2, MITOCHONDRIAL (ALDH2; OMIM:100650), in which a polymorphism can lead to acute ethanol intolerance.

aly-1 | C01F6.5 | WBGene00000120 |
aly-1 encodes an RRM motif-containing protein required for normal export of TRA-1/tra-2 mRNA complexes, and thus for normal hermaphroditism; ALY-1 is orthologous to human THOC4 (OMIM:604171), and paralogous to ALY-2 and ALY-3; in the absence of TRA-1, and in conjunction with NXF-2, ALY-1 and its paralog ALY-2 are required to bind the TRE 3' UTR element of tra-2 mRNA, and block tra-2 mRNA's export from the nucleus; ALY-1 and NXF-2 bind the TRE element in vitro; ALY-1 is also bound competitively by either NXF-2 or TRA-1 in vitro; aly-1(RNAi) animals have abnormal female (as opposed to hermaphrodite) sexual phenotypes; by orthology, ALY-1 is thought to promote recruitment of mRNA export factor to mRNAs; other than these sex-determination phenotypes, ALY-1 has no grossly obvious function in four-way RNAi assays of ALY-1/-3 and W04D2.6.

amt-3 | M195.3 | WBGene00000135 |
amt-3 encodes one of four C. elegans homologs of AMT1 (AT11_ARATH), a high-affinity ammonium transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana; AMT-3 is closely similar to its paralog AMT-2, with somewhat more distant paralogy to AMT-1 and AMT-4.

apc-2 | K06H7.6 | WBGene00000143 |
apc-2 encodes an ortholog of subunit 2 of anaphase-promoting complex (APC, a cyclin-specific E3 RING ubiquitin ligase); APC-2 and S. cerevisiae's Apc2p have 32% identity in their cullin domains (considered crucial for function), but otherwise share no obvious similarity; inactivating apc-2 with RNAi causes embryos to arrest at the meiotic one-cell stage, implying that APC-2 is required for the metaphase-to-anaphase transition of meiosis I; this RNAi phenotype of apc-2 is shared by apc-1, apc-4, apc-11, cdc-16, cdc-23, and cdc-27; by analogy with other APC subunits with hypomorphic alleles, APC-2 is likely to be required for asymmetrical segregation of cell fate determinants in two-cell embryos.

ape-1 | F46F3.4 | WBGene00000146 |
ape-1 encodes an ortholog of inhibitory p53-interacting protein (iASPP); APE-1 binds CEP-1 in vitro, and shares 38% amino-acid identity in its ankyrin repeats and SH3 domain to iASPP, with many iASPP residues contacting p53 being conserved; RNAi of ape-1 induces CEP-1- and HUS-1-dependent apoptosis in the germline, consistent with inhibition of the CEP-1/HUS-1 DNA damage checkpoint by APE-1 in the germline; excess ape-1(RNAi) apoptosis also requires CED-3.

apl-1 | C42D8.8 | WBGene00000149 |
apl-1 encodes two almost identical isoforms orthologous to human APP (OMIM:104760, mutated in familial Alzheimer disease or cerebroarterial amyloidosis), APLP1 (OMIM:104775), and APLP2 (OMIM:104776); although native APL-1 is predicted to be membrane-bound until proteolytically cleaved, neuronal expression of a partial N-terminal extracellular region of APL-1 alone, containing either the E1 or the E2 domain, is sufficient for APL-1's normal functions in vivo (molting and morphogenesis, pharyngeal pumping, and progession past the L1 larval stage), indicating that APL-1 functions non-cell-autonomously; apl-1 is widely expressed in neurons, muscle, hypodermis, and supporting cells of larvae and adults; APL-1 contains a Cu(II)-binding domain; overexpressed APL-1 causes abnormal locomotion, infertility, and partial lethality, but the lethality of excess APL-1 can be partially suppressed by hypomorphic sel-12 mutations; apl-1 mutants show vacuoles in hypodermal cells, while having superfically normal neurons; apl-1 genetically interacts with feh-1 to affect pharyngeal pumping, and APL-1 binds the PTB2 domain of FEH-1 in vitro; apl-1 mutations are not suppressed by ced-3 or crt-1 mutations, and thus are unlikely to activate apoptosis or necrosis.

aps-2 | F02E8.3 | WBGene00000157 |
aps-2 encodes an adaptin: specifically, it encodes an ortholog of the sigma2 subunit of adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2), which mediates endocytosis from the plasma membrane; APS-2 is required for embryonic and larval development and for normal body morphogenesis, but is not required for endocytosis of yolk protein in developing oocytes; APS-2 is expressed in nearly all cells during embryogenesis, but during larval and adult stages, expression is confined to neurons and some hypodermal cells, including vulval hypodermal cells during the fourth larval stage.

apa-2 | T20B5.1 | WBGene00000161 |
apa-2 encodes an adaptin: specifically, it encodes an ortholog of the alpha subunit of adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2); loss of apa-2 activity via RNAi results in defects in receptor-mediated yolk endocytosis and thus, embryonic lethality.
