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:
Gr5aGustatory receptor 5a for trehalose; Gustatory receptor required for response to the sugar trehalose in taste neurons. Gr5a neurons selectively respond to sugars, in contrast to Gr66a cells which respond to bitter compounds. Flies are attracted to sugars and avoid bitter substances, suggesting that Gr5a neuron activity is sufficient to mediate acceptance behavior. Sugar signal transduction occurs through coupling with G-proteins such as Galpha49B and G-salpha60A. (444 aa)
Gr64aGustatory receptor for sugar taste 64a; One of the few identified sugar gustatory receptors identified so far and which promotes the starvation-induced increase of feeding motivation. Required in combination with Gr64f to detect sucrose, maltose, and glucose. Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr5a subfamily. (456 aa)
Gr33aGustatory and pheromone receptor 33a; Gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. Required for sensing all nonvolatile repulsive chemicals, including tastants, pheromones, and especially N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the most widely used insect repellent worldwide. Functions also as a pheromone receptor for a male inhibitory pheromone leading to male-male courtship suppression. Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr66a subfamily. (475 aa)
Gr93aGustatory receptor for bitter taste 93a; Gustatory receptor required for response to the bitter in taste neurons. Gr93a cells respond to bitter compounds such as caffeine. Flies avoid bitter substances, suggesting that Gr93a neuron activity is sufficient to mediate avoidance behavior. Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr93a subfamily. (419 aa)
Gr66aGustatory receptor for bitter taste 66a; Gustatory receptor required for response to the bitter in taste neurons. Gr66a cells respond to bitter compounds such as caffeine, theophylline, threonine or valine. Flies avoid bitter substances, suggesting that Gr66a neuron activity is sufficient to mediate avoidance behavior. Required for sensing and avoiding N,N- Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the most widely used insect repellent worldwide, as well as to L-canavanine, a plant-derived insecticide. Gr66a neurons are also involved in the sex-specific perception of molecules inducing male avoid [...] (527 aa)
Gr43aGustatory receptor for sugar taste 43a; Gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. Gr43a is the main sugar receptor in larvae. Functions as a narrowly tuned fructose receptor in taste neurons but also as a fructose receptor in the brain. Necessary and sufficient to sense hemolymph fructose and promote feeding in hungry flies but suppress feeding in satiated flies. (453 aa)
