ANI-1

CELE_Y49E10.19, Y49E10.19
ani-1 encodes one of three C. elegans anillins; ANI-1 activity is required in the early embryo for cortical contractile events, including polar body extrusion, membrane ruffling, and pseudocleavage; at later stages of development, ANI-1 also plays a role in cuticle formation, coordinated locomotion, vulval development, and male tail formation; in regulating cortical events, ANI-1 appears to function by positively regulating septin (UNC-59 and UNC-61) localization to the contractile ring as well as formation of septin- and NMY-2-containing cortical patches; in telophase embryos, ANI-1 localizes to the cell cortex and cleavage furrow.

RAN-1

CELE_K01G5.4, K01G5.4
ran-1 encodes the C. elegans Ran GTPase ortholog; ran-1 activity is essential for proper mitotic spindle formation, effective connection between centrosomes and the male pronucleus, nuclear envelope assembly after cell division, and oocyte meiotic maturation; in regulating nuclear envelope dynamics, ran-1 appears to function upstream of MEL-28 by regulating its localization to the nuclear periphery; in regulating oocyte meiotic maturation, RAN-1 interacts with VAB-1 MSP/Eph and regulates its localization to endocytic-recycling vesicles in the absence of the major sperm protein (MSP)/sperm; in dissected gonads and oocytes, RAN-1 staining is detected at the cortex.

Affinity Capture-MS

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner is identified by mass spectrometric methods.

A Sterile 20 Family Kinase and Its Co-factor CCM-3 Regulate Contractile Ring Proteins on Germline Intercellular Bridges.

Rehain-Bell K, Love A, Werner ME, MacLeod I, Yates JR, Maddox AS

Germ cells in most animals are connected by intercellular bridges, actin-based rings that form stable cytoplasmic connections between cells promoting communication and coordination [1]. Moreover, these connections are required for fertility [1, 2]. Intercellular bridges are proposed to arise from stabilization of the cytokinetic ring during incomplete cytokinesis [1]. Paradoxically, proteins that promote closure of cytokinetic rings are enriched on ... [more]
