#	Name	WormBase	BLASTP E-Value	Genome Position	Description
1	gak-1	C05D2.5	0	chrIII 5,605,958	gak-1 encodes a protein that contains an AT hook motif, a DNA-binding domain that shows a preference for binding stretches of A/T base pairs; GAK-1 appears to play a role in meiotic chromosome segregation, as overexpression results in post-prophase I chromosome segregation abnormalities, and a corresponding increase in embryonic lethality and the proportion of genotypically XO males in an otherwise self-fertile, XX hermaphrodite population; loss of gak-1 function via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) results in sterility in the injected hermaphrodites, suggesting a possible role in germline development as well; gak-1 expression is enhanced in the germline, although its precise subcellular localization has not been reported.
2	skr-9	C52D10.7	n/a	chrIV 17,163,837	skr-9 encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae, a component of the SCF (Skp1, Cullin, F-box) ubiquitin-ligase complex that regulates ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation; SKR-9 is required for posterior body morphogenesis, embryonic and larval development, and postembryonic cell proliferation.
3	F22E5.9	F22E5.9	n/a	chrII 2,638,698
4	D2030.7	D2030.7	n/a	chrI 7,589,605	contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR001841 (Zinc finger, RING-type), IPR015880 (Zinc finger, C2H2-like), IPR007087 (Zinc finger, C2H2-type)
5	C29A12.1	C29A12.1	n/a	chrV 10,812,876	contains similarity to Mesocricetus auratus Synaptonemal complex protein 1 (SCP-1 protein) (Meiotic chromosomessynaptic protein) (Fragment).; SW:SCP1_MESAU
6	W05F2.6	W05F2.6	n/a	chrI 3,370,130	contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR000504 (RNA recognition motif, RNP-1), IPR001620 (Dopamine D3 receptor)

8	sra-25	T26E3.9	n/a	chrI 12,687,150	C. elegans SRA-25 protein; contains similarity to Pfam domain PF02117 C.elegans Sra family integral membrane protein contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR003945 (NADH-plastoquinone oxidoreductase, chain 5), IPR000344 (Nematode chemoreceptor, Sra)
9	msh-5	F09E8.3	n/a	chrIV 13,159,611	msh-5 encodes a germline-specific homolog of the yeast and mammalian DNA mismatch repair protein MSH5 (MutS-family) that is required for crossing over and chiasma formation during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis; inactivation of both rad-51 and msh-5 induces chromosome fragmentation, not seen with inactivation of either gene alone.
10	glp-1	F02A9.6	n/a	chrIII 9,095,873	glp-1 encodes an N-glycosylated transmembrane protein that, along with LIN-12, comprises one of two C. elegans members of the LIN-12/Notch family of receptors; from the N- to the C-terminus, GLP-1 is characterized by ten extracellular EGF-like repeats, three LIN-12/Notch repeats, a CC-linker, a transmembrane domain, a RAM domain, six intracellular ankyrin repeats, and a PEST sequence; in C. elegans, GLP-1 activity is required for cell fate specification in germline and somatic tissues; in the germline, GLP-1, acting as a receptor for the DSL family ligand LAG-2, is essential for mitotic proliferation of germ cells and maintenance of germline stem cells; in somatic tissues, maternally provided GLP-1, acting as a receptor for the DSL family ligand APX-1, is required for inductive interactions that specify the fates of certain embryonic blastomeres; GLP-1 is also required for some later embryonic cell fate decisions, and in these decisions its activity is functionally redundant with that of LIN-12; GLP-1 expression is regulated temporally and spatially via translational control, as GLP-1 mRNA, present ubiquitously in the germline and embryo, yields detectable protein solely in lateral, interior, and endomembranes of distal, mitotic germ cells, and then predominantly in the AB blastomere and its descendants in the early embryo; proper spatial translation of glp-1 mRNA in the embryo is dependent upon genes such as the par genes, that are required for normal anterior-posterior asymmetry in the early embryo; signaling through GLP-1 controls the activity of the downstream Notch pathway components LAG-3 and LAG-1, the latter being predicted to function as part of a transcriptional feedback mechanism that positively regulates GLP-1 expression; signaling through the DNA-binding protein LAG-1 is believed to involve a direct interaction between LAG-1 and the GLP-1 RAM and ankyrin domains
11	C55B7.11	C55B7.11	n/a	chrI 6,512,726
12	EEED8.14	EEED8.14	n/a	chrII 5,413,091	contains similarity to Sulfolobus solfataricus DNA double-strand break repair rad50 ATPase.; SW:Q97WH0
13	bath-2	F52C6.11	n/a	chrII 1,922,182	C. elegans BATH-2 protein; contains similarity to Pfam domains PF00651 (BTB/POZ domain) , PF00917 (MATH domain) contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR002083 (MATH), IPR000210 (BTB/POZ-like), IPR011333 (BTB/POZ fold), IPR013069 (BTB/POZ)
14	nos-1	R03D7.7	n/a	chrII 10,952,444	nos-1 encodes an putative RNA-binding protein that contains a zinc-binding motif homologous to that of Drosophila Nanos, a posterior-group protein required for embryonic patterning and primordial germ cell development; in C. elegans, NOS-1 is required redundantly with NOS-2, a second Nanos homolog, for maintenance of germ cell viability during postembryonic development and for preventing primordial germ cells from dividing in the absence of food; nos-1 mRNA is expressed dynamically in the embryo, with early expression seen throughout the embryo and later expression restricted solely to germline blastomeres; nos-1 mRNA becomes undetectable after the 200-cell stage, but reappears later at the 550-cell stage; NOS-1 protein is not detectable in germline blastomeres until the 550-cell stage, suggesting that NOS-1 might actually function zygotically in germline specification.
15	srd-18	F53F1.10	n/a	chrV 13,426,143	C. elegans SRD-18 protein; contains similarity to Pfam domain PF01461 7TM chemoreceptor contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR003002 (7TM chemoreceptor, subfamily 1), IPR000276 (GPCR, rhodopsin-like)

17	C27C12.1	C27C12.1	n/a	chrX 14,853,081	contains similarity to Homo sapiens 10 kDa protein; VG:OTTHUMP00000170593
18	F30F8.3	F30F8.3	n/a	chrI 7,836,374	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00595 PDZ domain (Also known as DHR or GLGF) contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR001478 (PDZ/DHR/GLGF)
19	K11H3.4	K11H3.4	n/a	chrIII 9,835,521	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF02213 (GYF domain)
20	try-1	ZK546.15	n/a	chrII 4,948,807	C. elegans TRY-1 protein; contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00089 Trypsin contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR001314 (Peptidase S1A, chymotrypsin), IPR001254 (Peptidase S1 and S6, chymotrypsin/Hap), IPR009003 (Peptidase, trypsin-like serine and cysteine), IPR008256 (Peptidase S1B, glutamyl endopeptidase I)
21	F21D5.2	F21D5.2	n/a	chrIV 8,729,166	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF02338 OTU-like cysteine protease contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR003323 (Ovarian tumour, otubain)
22	klc-1	M7.2	n/a	chrIV 11,085,048	klc-1 encodes one of two C. elegans kinesin light chains; by homology, KLC-1 is predicted to function, along with kinesin-like heavy chains, as part of a multimeric kinesin complex involved in intracellular transport; consistent with this, KLC-1 has been shown to interact with UNC-116/kinesin, KCA-1/kinesin cargo adaptor, and the ARX-2/Arp2/3 complex component in yeast two-hybrid assays; RNAi experiments indicate that klc-1 activity is required for normal embryonic development.
23	C16C8.14	C16C8.14	n/a	chrII 3,450,118	C16C8.14 encodes a Caenorhabditis-specific protein, with a central predicted coiled-coil and a C-terminal ubiqutin-like domain; C16C8.14 inhibits CEP-1- and HUS-1-dependent germline apoptosis, as do BMK-1, RAD-50, and RAD-51; C16C8.14 is paralogous to C16C8.4, C16C8.11, C16C8.12, C16C8.13, C16C8.15, C16C8.16, and F54D10.7.
24	C17F4.5	C17F4.5	n/a	chrII 3,247,215	This gene encodes a protein containing an F-box, a motif predicted to mediate protein-protein interactions either with homologs of yeast Skp-1p or with other proteins.
25	spo-11	T05E11.4	n/a	chrIV 11,123,963	spo-11 encodes an ortholog of Spo11p in S. cerevisiae that is required for meiotic DNA recombination, and (in conjunction with CHK-2 and MRE-11) for the localization of RAD-51 to foci in late zygotene/early pachytene nuclei; like its yeast ortholog, SPO-11 is related to a subunit of archaebacterial topoisomerase VI, and probably causes double-stranded DNA breaks through a topoisomerase-like transesterase mechanism; however, unlike Spo11p, SPO-11 is dispensable for homologous synapsis and formation of the synaptonemal complex; SPO-11 is active even in syp-1 mutants where its double-stranded breaks cannot be correctly processed; spo-11 is transcribed in the germline.
26	C46A5.5	C46A5.5	n/a	chrIV 7,758,797
27	let-99	K08E7.3	n/a	chrIV 12,569,200	let-99 encodes a protein with a DEP domain (Domain found in Dishevelled, Egl-10, and Pleckstrin); LET-99 has no obvious homologs in non-nematodes, but has a truncated paralog (LRG-1) in C. elegans; LET-99 is required for the mitotic spindle to be properly oriented with respect to the axis of cellular polarity, both during anterior migration and rotation of the nuclear-centrosome complex and during anaphase; let-99 mutants exhibit hyperactive nuclear movement and abnormal anaphase spindle pole behavior; LET-99 is mislocalized in par-2 and par-3 mutants; like other proteins containing DEP domains, LET-99 may act as part of a G protein signalling pathway (e.g., the one controlling spindle position).
28	ego-1	F26A3.3	n/a	chrI 7,653,372	The ego-1 gene encodes a homolog of RNA-directed RNA polymerase that is essential for germ-line development.
29	T04A8.15	T04A8.15	n/a	chrIII 4,713,844	contains similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ubiquitin-specific protease; SGD:YDL122W
30	fbxa-108	F59A1.7	n/a	chrV 17,657,524	This gene encodes a protein containing an F-box, a motif predicted to mediate protein-protein interactions either with homologs of yeast Skp-1p or with other proteins; this gene's encoded protein also contains an FTH/DUF38 motif, which may also mediate protein-protein interaction.
31	zfp-2	F35H8.3	n/a	chrII 9,558,501	zfp-2 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor; loss of zfp-2 and lin-35/Rb results in almost complete sterility accompanied by defects in somatic gonad development and vulval morphology, as well as polyploidization of somatic cell nuclei; loss of zfp-2 activity by itself reveals that zfp-2 is also required for cosuppression, inhibition of RNAi of some genes, and wild-type levels of expression of a rol-6 extrachromosomal array; a zfp-2::GFP promoter fusion construct is expressed in vulval cells and all somatic gonad structures, such as the spermatheca, sheath cells, uterine cells and distal tip cells (DTCs).
32	pch-2	F10B5.5	n/a	chrII 8,159,065	pch-2 encodes a putative AAA+-type ATPase orthologous to budding yeast PCH2 and human TRIP13 (OMIM:604507); PCH-2 is required for the apoptosis of pachytene cells induced by unsynapsed chromosomal pairing centers, but is dispensable for meiotic apoptosis induced by DNA damage; PCH-2-mediated apoptosis is inhibited by SYP-1 and SYP-2, while it requires HIM-8 (and probably HIM-8's paralogs, ZIM-1/-3 and C02F5.12); however, PCH-2-mediated apoptosis does not require SPO-11; pch-2 transcripts are enriched during oogenesis; the excess germline apoptosis of syp-1(me17) mutants is partially suppressed by pch-2(tm1458), and fully suppressed by pch-2(tm1458);spo-11(ok79).
33	Y39E4B.5	Y39E4B.5	n/a	chrIII 13,171,391	contains similarity to Pfam domains PF07690 (Major Facilitator Superfamily) , PF00083 (Sugar (and other) transporter) contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR007114 (Major facilitator superfamily), IPR011701 (Major facilitator superfamily MFS-1), IPR005828 (General substrate transporter), IPR003663 (Sugar transporter), IPR016196 (MFS general substrate transporter)

36	F44B9.8	F44B9.8	n/a	chrIII 8,028,820	contains similarity to Pfam domains PF00004 (ATPase family associated with various cellular activities (AAA)) , PF08542 (Replication factor C) contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR003959 (AAA ATPase, core), IPR008921 (DNA polymerase III clamp loader subunit, C-terminal), IPR000767 (Disease resistance protein), IPR001270 (Chaperonin clpA/B), IPR013748 (Replication factor C), IPR003593 (AAA+ ATPase, core)
37	C56C10.9	C56C10.9	n/a	chrII 6,591,647	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00036 EF hand contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR011992 (EF-Hand type), IPR002048 (Calcium-binding EF-hand)
38	F08G5.1	F08G5.1	n/a	chrIV 12,409,650	contains similarity to Homo sapiens Putative protein TPRXL; ENSEMBL:ENSP00000322097
39	M01A10.1	M01A10.1	n/a	chrI 5,565,037	M01A10.1 encodes a protein, belonging to an ancient family of single-stranded nucleic acid-binding proteins, that is predicted to regulate gene expression through binding either mRNA or (locally) single-stranded DNA; it is most likely to specifically bind one or more discrete mRNAs and regulate their spatial localization or alternative splicing.
40	C31H1.8	C31H1.8	n/a	chrIV 5,812,882	contains similarity to Homo sapiens Protocadherin 15; ENSEMBL:ENSP00000378832
41	C42C1.8	C42C1.8	n/a	chrIV 12,292,136	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF07690 Major Facilitator Superfamily contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR011701 (Major facilitator superfamily MFS-1), IPR016196 (MFS general substrate transporter)
42	F29G9.7	F29G9.7	n/a	chrV 6,036,359	This gene encodes a protein containing an F-box, a motif predicted to mediate protein-protein interactions either with homologs of yeast Skp-1p or with other proteins; its encoded protein also contains a Pfam-B45 motif of presently unknown function.
43	C48B4.10	C48B4.10	n/a	chrIII 9,563,945	contains similarity to Homo sapiens Transmembrane 9 superfamily protein member 2 precursor; ENSEMBL:ENSP00000245361
44	prom-1	F26H9.1	n/a	chrI 9,288,599	prom-1 encodes an F-box protein orthologous to to human FBXO47 (OMIM:609498, deleted in renal cell carcinoma) and paralogous to F54D5.9, that is required during meiotic prophase I for homologous chromosome pairing and rapid meiotic progression; prom-1 mutants exhibit increased germline apoptosis, reduced and variable bivalent formation in meiotic prophase, reduced meiotic recombination, delayed meiotic entry, delayed and asynchronous nuclear reorganization in meiotic prophase, high embryonic lethality (averaging ~90%, but varying from 46-99% even in a null prom-1[ok1140] mutant strain), decreased brood sizes, and an abnormally high frequency of male progeny (22%, probably due to nonsegregating X chromsomes); the apoptotic phenotype of prom-1 is suppressed by spo-11(ok79), and prom-1 mutants show accumulated RAD-51 protein in meiotic nuclei, indicating that prom-1 meiotic defects arises from a failure to resolve meiotic double-stranded DNA breaks.
45	htp-1	F41H10.10	n/a	chrIV 5,390,947	C. elegans HTP-1 protein; contains similarity to Pfam domain PF02301 HORMA domain contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR003511 (DNA-binding HORMA)

47	K11H3.3	K11H3.3	n/a	chrIII 9,852,736	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00153 Mitochondrial carrier protein contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR002067 (Mitochondrial carrier protein), IPR001993 (Mitochondrial substrate carrier), IPR002113 (Adenine nucleotide translocator 1)
48	F26H11.4	F26H11.4	n/a	chrII 14,410,374	contains similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mitochondrial ATPase (similar to E. coli FtsH protein) that resides in the innner mitochondrial membrane; SGD:YMR089C
49	klp-18	C06G3.2	n/a	chrIV 7,041,936	klp-18 encodes a kinesin motor protein whose motor domain is most similar to that of the Xenopus and human klp2 proteins; loss of klp-18 activity via RNAi indicates that KLP-18 is required for the assembly of a disordered array of acentrosomal (female meiotic) microtubules into an organized, functional, bipolar spindle; in addition, KLP-18 may also play a role in cortex dynamics during post-meiotic development; antibody staining indicates that during meiosis and mitosis (early embryonic) KLP-18 localizes to: 1) spindles, and especially spindle poles, during prometaphase, metaphase, and early anaphase, and 2) the interzone during late anaphase and telophase; in early embryos, KLP-18 is also seen around the nucleus and cell cortex at sites of cell-cell contact; KLP-18 expression in later embryos and larvae is confined to the germ line which, in adults, stains brightly in both distal and proximal regions.
50	C49C3.6	C49C3.6	n/a	chrIV 17,331,938	contains similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae a homologue of BUL1; SGD:YML111W
