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

grkProtein gurken; Critical for defining the anterior-posterior and dorsal- ventral axes of the egg. May signal directly to dorsal follicle cells through the receptor torpedo (top). During oogenesis this signaling pathway instructs follicle cells to follow a dorsal pathway of development rather than the default ventral pathway. (295 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Egfr
Epidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...]

sqd
RNA-binding protein squid; This protein is a component of ribonucleosomes. Could be needed to organize a concentration gradient of a dorsalizing morphogen (Dm) originating in the germinal vesicle. At least one of the isoforms is essential in somatic tissues.
    
 
 0.954
rho
Protein rhomboid; Acts early in embryonic development to establish position along the dorsoventral axis and then again later to specify the fate of neuronal precursor cells. Involved in EGF receptor signaling; cleaves Spitz to release the active growth factor. Belongs to the peptidase S54 family.
   
 
 0.941
osk
Maternal effect protein oskar; Organizes the germ plasm and directs localization of the posterior determinant nanos. Oskar protein is required to keep nos RNA and staufen protein at the posterior pole.
    
 
 0.914
Hrb27C
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein 27C; This protein is a component of ribonucleosomes. Could be needed to organize a concentration gradient of a dorsalizing morphogen (Dm) originating in the germinal vesicle.

fs(1)K10
DNA-binding protein K10; Female sterile (1) K10 (fs(1)K10) encodes a nuclear protein of unknown biochemical function required during oogenesis for the proper localization of grk mRNA and protein in the oocyte, a key step in the specification of the dorsoventral axis of the oocyte, mature egg, and future embryo.
    
 
 0.868
bcd
Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction.
    
 
 0.839
orb
Oo18 RNA-binding protein (orb) encodes a RNA-binding protein required for the formation of the egg chamber and establishment of polarity during oogenesis. It is involved in mRNA polyadenylation and the regulation of osk mRNA translation.
      
 0.836
egl
Egalitarian, isoform B; Egalitarian (egl) encodes an RNA binding protein that links specific mRNAs to the minus end-directed microtubule motor, cytoplasmic dynein-1.
   
 
 0.830
BicD
Protein bicaudal D; This protein is essential for differentiation. It may play a role in localizing of Nanos (a maternal determinant) activity in oocytes. During oogenesis, plays a specific role, together with Rab6 but independently of Sec5, in the polarization of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton, in oskar mRNA localization and in the anterodorsal secretion of grk. Plays a role in the biogenesis of annulate lamellae containing nuclear pore complex components.
