| Description | Initiation of programmed cell death in C.elegans occurs by the binding of EGL-1 to CED-9 which disrupts a complex involving CED-4/CED-9 and allows CED-4 to activate CED-3, a caspase. It is the C-terminal domain of EGL-1 which is involved in the formation of the complex with CED-9. The formation of the complex induces structural rearrangements in CED-9 and EGL-1 adopts an extended α-helical conformation [ ]. | Name | Programmed cell death activator EGL-1 |
| Short Name | EGL-1 | Type | Family |
