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:
	en	Segmentation polarity homeobox protein engrailed; Engrailed (en) encodes a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that is essential for posterior compartment identity and for compartment boundary formation and maintenance. It positively regulates the hh gene and negatively regulates the Hedgehog targets encoded by ci, ptc and dpp. (552 aa)
	heix	UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein 1 homolog; Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone- 4 (MK-4), a vitamin K2 isoform, thereby acting as a mitochondrial electron carrier. Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into MK-4, probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4. MK-4 acts as a membrane electron carrier downstream of a electron transport chain complex, improving mitochondrial oxygen consumption. (359 aa)
