Beckerle, Mary C. | ALP-enigma protein ALP-1 functions in actin filament organization to promote muscle structural integrity in Caenorhabditis elegans | Mutations that affect the Z-disk-associated ALP-Enigma proteins have been linked to human muscular and cardiac diseases. Despite their clear physiological significance for human health, the mechanism of action of ALP-Enigma proteins is largely unknown. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the ALP-Enigma prot... | Actin; Caenorhabditis elegans; Contractility; alp-1 mutants; Z-disks; Kettin | 2009 |

Beckerle, Mary C.; Clark, Kathleen A. | Conserved LIM protein that affects muscular adherens junction integrity and mechanosensory function in Caenorhabditis elegans | We describe here the molecular and functional characterization of the Caenorhabditis elegans unc-97 gene, whose gene product constitutes a novel component of muscular adherens junctions. UNC-97 and homologues from several other species define the PINCH family, a family of LIM proteins whose modula... | LIM domains; Caenorhabditis elegans; UNC-97; Adherens junction; Touch neuron; Muscle development | 1999 |

Jorgensen, Erik | UNC-11, a Caenorhabditis elegans AP180 homologue, regulates the size and protein composition of synaptic vesicles | The unc-11 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans encodes multiple isoforms of a protein homologous to the mammalian brain-specific clathrin-adaptor protein AP180. The UNC-11 protein is expressed at high levels in the nervous system and at lower levels in other tissues. In neurons, UNC-11 is enriched at pr... | Caenorhabditis elegans; Synaptic vesicles; unc-11; Synaptobrevin; Endocytosis | 1999 |

Jorgensen, Erik | μ2 adaptin facilitates but is not essential for synaptic vesicle recycling in Caenorhabditis elegans | Synaptic vesicles must be recycled to sustain neurotransmission, in large part via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Clathrin is recruited to endocytic sites on the plasma membrane by the AP2 adaptor complex. The medium subunit (u 2) of AP2 binds to cargo proteins and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisph... | Synaptic vesicles; Caenorhabditis elegans; Adaptin | 2008 |
