High impact information on lin-45

 

Biological context of lin-45

 

Associations of lin-45 with chemical compounds

  • A nematode homologue of mammalian raf family protein serine/threonine kinases has been cloned and found to be encoded by the lin-45 gene [8].
 

Other interactions of lin-45

  • We provide evidence that smg-7 is cotranscribed with the previously characterized gene lin-45 and show that null alleles of smg-7 confer a temperature-sensitive defect in NMD [9].
  • Consistent with its negative function, overexpressing sur-5 from an extragenic array partially suppresses the Multivulva phenotype of an activated let-60 ras mutation and causes synergistic phenotypes with a lin-45 raf mutation [10].
  • Drosophila MAP kinase kinase suppresses the vulvaless phenotype of lin-3, let-23 and lin-45 mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans [11].
