5 Abstract Genetic mechanisms of regulation of gene expression form the basis for proper development, function of organisms and their responses to variable life conditions. However, they are relatively slow. Life processes that require a fast response to the changing environmental and metabolic conditions are mostly executed on the level of proteins especially their posttranslational modifications and protein- protein interactions.The goal of the experimental work that led to the presented thesis consisted in exploitation of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans for analysis of regulation of gene expression by transcription factors from the protein family of nuclear receptors. The model system C. elegans enables very efficient experimental procedures in the field of genetics, genomics and functional analysis of phenotypes. In the experimental work connected with this thesis, I studied the regulation of gene expression under specific experimental conditions from the perspective of advanced functional proteomics and I focused on the employment of separation methods and methods of advanced proteomics, especially by mass spectrometry.In the first part of the work, I characterized the nuclear receptor NHR-60 on the protein level. This nuclear receptor is expressed as two protein forms with a mass of 50 kDa...
