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:
mscKMechanosensitive channel protein, intermediate conductance, K+ regulated; Mechanosensitive channel that opens in response to membrane tension and specific ionic conditions. Requires high concentrations of external K(+), NH(4)(+), Rb(+) or Cs(+) to gate. May participate in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell, although it does not appear to have a major role in osmolarity regulation. Forms an ion channel of 1.0 nanosiemens conductance. The channel can remain active for between 30 seconds and over 3 minutes; it does not desensitize upon extended pressure. Its activi [...] (1120 aa)
mscLMechanosensitive channel protein, high conductance; Mechanosensitive channel that opens in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer. Forms a nonselective ion channel with a conductance of about 4 nanosiemens. Participates in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell. Opens at a pressure just below that which would cause cell disruption and death. The force required to trigger channel opening depends on the membrane lipids composition. (136 aa)
