2 items (Drosophila melanogaster) - STRING interaction network

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

Your Input:
	pita	Pita, isoform A; Pita (pita) encodes an architectural chromatin protein essential for embryonic development that organizes open chromatin in the regulatory regions (predominantly promoters). pita product functions include enhancer blocking, support of distant interactions, protection from spreading of repressed chromatin and recruitment of transcription factors. (683 aa)
	qua	Villin-like protein quail; Required for the formation of cytoplasmic actin filament bundles in nurse cells, possibly by regulating both the polymerization and organization of actin filaments. Mutations in quail result in female sterility due to the disruption of cytoplasmic transport from the nurse cells into the oocyte late in oogenesis. (892 aa)
