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:
sptl-1Serine palmitoyltransferase 1; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen. (458 aa)
sptl-2Serine palmitoyltransferase 2; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. (586 aa)
hyl-2Ceramide synthase hyl-2; Catalyzes the acylation of sphingosine to form ceramides. Exhibits substrate preference for fatty acyl-coA chains containing 20 and 22 carbons. Required for adaptation of the nematode to anoxia. Anoxia tolerance may require one or more of the ceramide species that are either specifically or preferentially synthesized by hyl-2, and seems to be effected by a pathway that is parallel to that involving daf-2. (329 aa)
sptl-3Serine palmitoyltransferase 3; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. (521 aa)
