A phase transition of TIR-1/SARM1 induced by either pathogen or non-pathogen stress potentiates its intrinsic NADase activity, which activates the p38 PMK-1 signaling cascade to induce protective immune defenses in Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal epithelial cells.

Nuclear receptor NHR-14 regulates the subcellular localization of the zinc transcription factor PQM-1 to coordinate innate immunity with iron sequestration during pathogen infection in C. elegans..

SIMR-1 acts downstream of the piRNA pathway to promote siRNA amplification by the Mutator complex and localizes to perinuclear foci distinct from Mutator foci, P granules and Z granules.

PIE-1 engages SUMO to preserve the embryonic germline fate and also to promote the assembly of a MEP-1/Mi-2/HDA-1 chromatin remodeling complex required for inherited Argonaute-mediated gene silencing in the adult hermaphrodite germline.

A fibrillin-related protein, FBN-1, is a key component of the apical extracellular matrix and prevents epidermal cell deformation by biomechanical forces during morphogenesis of the C. elegans embryo.

A pathway controlling non-apoptotic developmental cell death engages non-canonical death-promoting activities of the stress factor HSF-1, which, in turn, activates specific components of the ubiquitin-mediated degradation machinery.

A ClC chloride channel protein allows neurons to interpret both temporal resolution and intensity of sensory input, which thereby contributes to an experience-dependent navigation behavior.

The C. elegans ninein homolog NOCA-1 is important for the assembly of non-centrosomal microtubule arrays required for embryo production, nuclear positioning and larval development.

Inhibition of C. elegans FLD-1 or Human TLCD1/2 prevents saturated fat lipotoxicity by allowing increased levels of membrane phospholipids that contain fluidizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

PLK-1 regulates multiple steps during oocyte meiosis I and is recruited to meiotic chromosomes through a dual mechanism involving BUB-1 and CENP-C.
