#	Name	WormBase	BLASTP E-Value	Genome Position	Description
1	nos-1	R03D7.7	2e-177	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.

4	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.

16	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.
17	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.
18	C16C8.13	C16C8.13	n/a	chrII 3,451,870	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00240 Ubiquitin family contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR000626 (Ubiquitin)

21	gak-1	C05D2.5	n/a	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.
22	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

32	efn-3	F15A2.5	n/a	chrX 13,476,463	efn-3 encodes a potential GPI-modified ephrin that is, with EFN-2, is required for normal epidermal organization in the male tail; EFN-3, along with EFN-1 and EFN-2, activates the VAB-1 tyrosine kinase in vivo and binds it in vitro, and has a minor role in embryonic epiboly.
33	ftr-1	Y113G7B.4	n/a	chrV 20,192,960	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.
34	rab-21	T01B7.3	n/a	chrII 8,714,514	rab-21 encodes a Rab GTPase most closely related to the Drosophila and vertebrate Rab21 GTPases and Saccharomyces cerevisiae VPS21; by homology, RAB-21 is predicted to be involved in membrane trafficking/vesicle transport; loss of rab-21 activity via RNAi results in 7-8% embryonic lethality.

36	F32D1.6	F32D1.6	n/a	chrV 4,374,245
37	skr-17	C06A8.4	n/a	chrII 7,784,177	skr-17 encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae, a core component of the SCF (Skp1p, Cullin, F-box) ubiquitin-ligase complex that facilitates ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation; SKR-17 has no known function in vivo, since skr-17(RNAi) animals are at least superficially normal, and SKR-17 does not appear to interact in vitro with any of the C. elegans cullin homologs.

40	T28A8.4	T28A8.4	n/a	chrIII 13,504,444	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF04435 Domain of unknown function (DUF545) contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR006570 (SPK)
41	C16C8.5	C16C8.5	n/a	chrII 3,445,041	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF00240 Ubiquitin family contains similarity to Interpro domain IPR000626 (Ubiquitin)
42	meg-2	K02B9.2	n/a	chrX 13,924,518	meg-2 encodes a novel protein that localizes exclusively to P granules; originally identified by microarray analyses of germline-enriched transcripts, loss of meg-2 activity by itself results in no obvious abnormalities, but loss of meg-2 activity in meg-1 mutant animals indicates that meg-1 and meg-2 likely have redundant functions in germline development; meg-2 may also function redundantly with mes-1; meg-2 expression in the proximal germline is positively regulated by MPK-1, the C. elegans MAP kinase ortholog; a GFP::MEG-2 fusion protein localizes exclusively to P granules in the embryonic germ cell lineage.
43	T24C4.5	T24C4.5	n/a	chrIII 878,584	contains similarity to Pfam domain PF01896 Eukaryotic and archaeal DNA primase small subunit contains similarity to Interpro domains IPR014052 (DNA primase, small subunit, eukaryotic and archaeal), IPR002755 (DNA primase, small subunit)
44	R02F2.4	R02F2.4	n/a	chrIII 5,485,028	R02F2.4 encodes a protein with six chitin-binding peritrophin-A domains; R02F2.4 transcripts are enriched during oogenesis; like CEJ-1 and CPG-2, R02F2.4 might participate in eggshell synthesis and early embryonic development, and R02F2.4's multiple peritrophin-A domains might enable mechanical cross-linking of chitin; however, R02F2.4 has no obvious function in mass RNAi assays; while R02F2.4 is more closely similar to CPG-2 than CEJ-1, it may be less strongly expressed (since it has substantially fewer ESTs) and thus be less important in development.
45	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.
46	C27C12.3	C27C12.3	n/a	chrX 14,864,682	C27C12.3 encodes a novel protein that is conserved in C. elegans; three other genes related to C27C12.3 are present in tandem on the X chromosome; in situ hybridization studies indicate that C27C12.3 mRNA is expressed in the proximal germline.
