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:
mex-5Zinc finger protein mex-5; Functions with mex-6 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. Binds to mRNA in vitro, and inhibits pgl-3-mediated P-granule formation, probably by competing with pgl-3 for binding to mRNA. (468 aa)
mex-6Zinc finger protein mex-6; Functions with mex-5 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. (467 aa)
pal-1Homeobox protein pal-1; Transcriptional activator. Interacts with promoter regions for tbx-8.9, tbx-9, elt-1, hnd-1, scrt-1, and vab-7 genes. Binds the sequence ATTTATGAC. Binds to the enhancer region of the hlh-1 gene promoter during embryonic body wall muscle development. Activates the gene for mab-5 in embryo development. Necessary for vab-7 expression in C blastomeres in the posterior of embryos. Required for posterior V6 neuroectoblast cell fate specification during postembryonic neurogenesis (patterning) which generates the characteristic ray lineage during male tail development. [...] (270 aa)
pkc-3Protein kinase C-like 3; Required for the normal progression of embryogenesis and viability of the organism. Plays an indispensable role in establishing embryonic polarity and in recruiting and maintaining par-6 to the periphery, through interaction with par-3. Required for epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Phosphorylates serine residues of num-1. Required for the expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp-29 in response in response to fungal infection or physical injury. (597 aa)
pos-1Cytoplasmic zinc-finger protein. (264 aa)
mex-3Muscle EXcess. (443 aa)
zif-1Zinc finger-interacting factor 1; Probable substrate recognition component of a CBC (Cul2- ElonginB-ElonginC) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Ensures germline precursor cell asymmetry by targeting germline proteins for destruction if expressed in non-germline cells. This process also requires elc-1, cul-2, rbx-1 and ubc-2. (489 aa)
daf-16Forkhead box protein O; Forkhead-type transcription factor. Binds to the promoters of genes that contain the daf-16 binding element (DBE), TTGTTTAC, in their regulatory region. Functions in the Insulin/IGF-1-like signaling (IIS) mediated pathway which affects lipogenesis, lifespan, starvation survival, heat shock and oxidative stress responses, and dauer formation. Longevity signaling predominantly arises from expression in the intestine. Daf-16 transcriptional activity is negatively regulated by cytoplasmic sequestration by association with ftt-2. Inhibition is required for the carbon [...] (541 aa)
num-1Numb-related protein 1; Involved in the tethering and targeting of pkc-3 to modulate the intracellular distribution of the kinase. The complex formed with pkc-3 complexes are likely to be involved in assembly, maintenance, and/or regulation of protein complexes that execute asymmetric and/or polarized cell functions. (682 aa)
lin-5Spindle apparatus protein lin-5; Essential component of the spindle apparatus required for spindle positioning and chromosome movement. Acts to recruit or anchor gpr-1/gpr-2 complex to the spindle and cortex. Also involved, directly or indirectly, in cytokinesis and in the coupling of DNA replication, centrosome duplication and mitotic division. (821 aa)
alh-13Probable delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase family. (802 aa)
act-5ACTin. (375 aa)
mex-1Muscle EXcess. (494 aa)
elc-2Skp1_POZ domain-containing protein; Belongs to the SKP1 family. (163 aa)
pie-1Pharynx and intestine in excess protein 1; Maternally provided PIE-1 is required for germline cell fate determination. Functions as a repressor of RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression in the developing germline. Required for expression of nos-2 in P4 germline blastomere cells. Inhibits the histone deacetylase activity of hda-1. Represses transcriptional activation of cdk-9 and cit-1.1, which are members of the P-TEFb complex. (335 aa)
elc-1Skp1_POZ domain-containing protein. (124 aa)
spn-4RRM domain-containing protein. (351 aa)
cul-2Cullin-2; Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based CBC (Cul2- ElonginB-ElonginC) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The functional specificity of the CBC complex depends on the variable substrate recognition component (By similarity). May function in ubiquitin-mediated degradation of CKIs to target cki-1 for degradation. CBC(zif-1) may ensure germline precursor cell [...] (791 aa)
