From: Boolean genetic network model for the control of C. elegans early embryonic cell cycles

Effector

Activation

Inhibition

cdc-14/fzy-1

cdk-1/cyclinB

 

fzy-1 is able to activate the APC (anaphase-promoting complex), which is for cyclin B degradation. -1 [10]

cdc-14/fzy-1

fzr-1

fzy-1 and fzr-1 encode orthologous proteins to Cdc20 and Cdh1 respectively in S. cerevisiae. The Interaction is inferred from the yeast cell-cycle network. 1 [2]

 

cdc-14/fzy-1

cki-1

cdc-14 upregulates cki-1 for accumulation. 1 [11]

 

cdc-25.1

cdk-2/cyclinE

cdc-25.1 activates cdk-2 by dephosphorylation. 1 [12]

 

cdc-25.1

cdk-1/cyclinB

cdc-25.1 activates cdk-1 by dephosphorylation. 1 [12]

 

cdk-1/cyclinB

cdc-14/fzy-1

Cyclin B and cdc-14 are orthologous to Clb1,2 and Cdc14, respectively. Interaction inferred from the yeast cell-cycle network. 1 [2]

 

cdk-2/cyclinE

cul-1/lin-23

cul-1 and lin-23 encode a Skp1-Cul1-F box (SCF) protein complex. SCF will be turned on for cyclin E degradation when exiting from S phase. Here we infer that cdk-2/cyclinE triggers SCF. 1 [13]

 

cdk-2/cyclinE

lin-35/efl-1/dpl-1

 

Inhibits -1 [11]

cdk-2/cyclinE

cdc-14/fzy-1

 

Cyclin E suppresses the expression of cdc-14. -1 [14]

cki-1

cdk-2/cyclinE

 

cki-1 encodes CDK inhibitory proteins which is rate limiting for S phase entry. -1 [13]

cki-1

cdk-1/cyclinB

 

cki-1 encodes CDK inhibitory proteins. Inhibit activity of cdk-1. -1 [15]

cki-1

cki-1

 

Add a self-degradation due to no inhibitory interaction on this node. This method was used in Li's model. -1 [2]

cul-1/lin-23

cdk-2/cyclinE

 

cul-1 and lin-23 encode a Skp1-Cul1-F box (SCF) protein complex for cyclin E degradation. -1 [13]

cul-1/lin-23

cdc-25.1

 

lin-23 negatively regulates the abundance of cdc-25.1. -1 [16]

cul-1/lin-23

cul-1/lin-23

 

Add self-degradation. -1

cul-1/lin-23

lin-35/efl-1/dpl-1

A synthetic interaction between lin-23 and lin-35. 1 [17]

 

fzr-1

cdk-1/cyclinB

 

Loss of fzr-1 will decrease APC which is for cyclin B degradation. -1 [17]

fzr-1

fzr-1

 

Add self-degradation. -1

fzr-1

cki-1

fzr-1 promotes accumulation of cki-1. 1 [13]

 

lin-35/efl-1/dpl-1

cdk-2/cyclinE

 

lin-35 negatively regulates cye-1. -1[11]

lin-35/efl-1/dpl-1

cdk-1/cyclinB

efl-1/dpl-1 promotes expression of cyclin B. 1 [18]
