Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

cpg-2Chondroitin proteoglycan-2; Required for polar body extrusion during cytokinesis in embryo development. Affects cortical granule size. Has roles in meiotic chromosome segregation, osmotic barrier function and polarization in conjunction with cpg-2. Binds chitin. (524 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cpg-1
Chondroitin proteoglycan 1; Required for polar body extrusion during cytokinesis in embryo development. Affects cortical granule size. Has roles in meiotic chromosome segregation, osmotic barrier function and polarization in conjunction with cpg-2. Binds chitin.

egg-4
Inactive protein-tyrosine phosphatase egg-4; Inactive phosphatase which acts redundantly with egg-5 in the oocyte-to-zygote transition. Required for the polarization of cortical actin cytoskeleton rearrangement in the oocyte before and after fertilization. Together with egg-5, required for the cortical localization of kinase mbk-2 and for the inhibition of mbk-2 kinase activity in maturing oocyte until the end of meiosis I. Also required for kinase mbk-2, pseudophosphatase egg-3 and chitin synthase chs-1 localization to cytoplasmic foci after fertilization.

egg-1
LDL receptor repeat-containing protein egg-1; Probable receptor which is required for the oocyte-to-zygote transition although its exact function is controversial. Redundantly with egg-2, seems to be required for fertilization probably by promoting the interaction or fusion between sperm and oocyte. Conversely, shown to be dispensable for fertilization but required together with egg-2 for the formation of a continuous and cohesive eggshell chitin layer by maintaining a homogenous distribution of chitin synthase chs-1 at the unfertilized oocyte cell membrane. Appears to recruit or maint [...]

cbd-1
Chitin-binding domain protein cbd-1; In unfertilized oocytes, maintains egg-1 and egg-2 at the plasma membrane together with chitin synthase chs-1 and kinase mbk-2. Essential for the formation of a continuous and cohesive chitin layer following fertilization.

egg-5
Inactive protein-tyrosine phosphatase egg-5; Inactive phosphatase which acts redundantly with egg-4 in the oocyte-to-zygote transition. Required for polarized cortical actin cytoskeleton rearrangement in the oocyte before and after fertilization. Together with egg-4, required for the cortical localization of kinase mbk-2 in maturing oocyte until the end of meiosis I. Also required for kinase mbk-2, pseudophosphatase egg-3 and chitin synthase chs-1 localization to cytoplasmic foci after fertilization.
