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

sogDorsal-ventral patterning protein Sog; Short gastrulation (sog) encodes a secreted BMP antagonist that is expressed in the embryonic ventral neuroectoderm. sog product promotes neural development by preventing dorsally produced dpp from diffusing into the neuroectoderm and suppressing expression of neural genes. sog protein also diffuses dorsally where it helps establish a BMP activity gradient essential for partitioning that domain into cells giving rise to the dorsal epidermis versus amnioserosa. (1038 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dpp
Protein decapentaplegic; Required during oogenesis for eggshell patterning and dorsal/ventral patterning of the embryo. Acts as a morphogen during embryogenesis to pattern the dorsal/ventral axis, specifying dorsal ectoderm and amnioserosa cell fate within the dorsal half of the embryo; this activity is antagonized by binding to sog and tsg. Induces the formation of visceral mesoderm and the heart in early embryos. Required later in embryogenesis for dorsal closure and patterning of the hindgut. Also functions postembryonically as a long-range morphogen during imaginal disk development [...]
   
 0.999
tsg
Twisted gastrulation (tsg) encodes a BMP binding protein that makes a tripartite complex with the product of sog and a heterodimer formed with the products of dpp and scw. This complex is a favoured substrate for the product of tld, which processes the product of sog and liberates the heterodimer formed with the products of dpp and scw.
    
 
 0.996
tld
Dorsal-ventral patterning protein tolloid; Tolloid (tld) encodes a member of the asticin metalloprotease family. Its primary function is to cleave the product of sog, which facilitates the diffusion of the ligand encoded by dpp to the dorsal-most cells in the early blastoderm embryo, helping to specify formation of the amnioserosa.
   
 
 0.991
gbb
Protein 60A; Glass bottom boat (gbb) encodes a BMP ligand in the TGF-beta/BMP family of dimeric signaling molecules. It binds to a receptor complex to transduce signal through phosphorylation of the product of Mad. It contributes to maintain stem cell populations, control cell fate specification, proliferation, synapse growth and neuropeptide release.
   
 0.989
scw
Screw (scw) encodes a BMP-type ligand that forms a heterodimer with the product of dpp. The heterodimer is required to achieve the peak levels of BMP signal in the dorsal-most cells of the early blastoderm embryo that are necessary to specify the amnioserosa.
    
 
 0.965
cv-2
Crossveinless 2 (cv-2) encodes a secreted protein that binds BMPs, the BMP receptor encoded by tkv and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans. It either promotes BMP signaling, as in the developing crossveins, or inhibits BMP signaling, as in the early embryo.
   
 
 0.957
tok
Metalloendopeptidase; Tolkin (tok) encodes a Zinc metallopeptidase with similar substrate specificity to the product of tld, which is its paralog. It cleaves the product of sog as well as the prodomains of several TGF-beta ligands.
   
 
 0.863
sna
Snail (sna) encodes a transcription factor that contributes to embryonic mesoderm development, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and asymmetric cell division.
      
 0.861
wit
Receptor protein serine/threonine kinase; Wishful thinking (wit) encodes a BMP Type II Receptor that, upon binding of the ligand encoded by gbb, makes a complex with either tkv or sax encoding BMP type I receptors. This complex initiates phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the transcription factor encoded by Mad. wit product controls synaptic homeostasis and neurotransmission at the neuromusclular junction during larval development. It also regulates the peptidergic phenotype of several neurosecretory cells; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase [...]
      
 0.850
Med
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog; Medea (Med) encodes a protein that belongs to the highly conserved Smad family. It can bind its siblings encoded by Mad or Smox to facilitate signal transduction for the product of dpp or Activin ligands in the TGF-beta family. Med-complexes function as transcriptional regulators. Many developmental roles include dorsal-ventral patterning, patterning and proliferation of the wing disc and gene expression in the mushroom body of the larval brain.
