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:
Cbp20Nuclear cap-binding protein subunit 2; Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds co- transcriptionally to the 5' cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). The CBC complex is involved in miRNA-mediated RNA interference via its interaction with Ars2 and is required for primary microRNAs (miRNAs) processing. Also involved in innate immunity via the short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) processing machinery by restricting the viral RNA production. In the CBC complex, Cbp20 recognizes and binds capped RNAs [...] (154 aa)
cuffCutoff (cuff) encodes a protein that interacts with the products of rhi and del in a germline complex that allows noncanonical transcription of dual-strand piRNA clusters. The product of cuff is therefore an integral part of the piRNA response to transposon activity in the germline. In its absence, a DNA damage checkpoint is activated leading to ventralization of the egg and embryo. (384 aa)
Hen1Small RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase; Methyltransferase that adds a 2'-O-methyl group at the 3'-end of selected small RNAs. Mediates 2'-O-methylation of piRNAs, single- stranded siRNAs and long hairpin RNA genes (hpRNAs). Methylation protects the 3'-end of small RNAs from tailing and trimming and could constitute a recognition signal for appropriate argonaute machineries. (391 aa)
Dcr-2Dicer-2, isoform A; Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) encodes a member of the RNase III family of double-stranded RNA-specific endonucleases. It acts in the RNAi pathway by cutting long dsRNA into siRNAs. It helps defend flies against viral infection, particularly RNA viruses. It also processes long, partially double-stranded endogenous transcripts (hairpin RNAs) into endo-siRNAs. (1722 aa)
Ars2Serrate RNA effector molecule homolog; Acts as a mediator between the cap-binding complex (CBC) and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). Involved in innate immunity via the short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) processing machinery by restricting the viral RNA production. Also involved microRNA (miRNA)-mediated silencing by contributing to the stability and delivery of primary miRNA transcripts to the primary miRNA processing complex containing drosha and pasha; Belongs to the ARS2 family. (943 aa)
Dcr-1Endoribonuclease Dcr-1; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger. May carry out the initiation step of RNAi by cleaving dsRNA to produce 22 bp dsRNAs (siRNAs) which target the selective destruction of homologous RNAs. During embryogenesis, involved in germline fate determination; Belongs to the helicase family. Dicer subfamily. (2249 aa)
loqsLoquacious, isoform B; Loquacious (loqs) encodes a double-stranded RNA binding protein with multiple splicing isoforms. loqs-PB and loqs-PA associate with the product of Dcr-1 to facilitate processing of precursor miRNA into mature miRNA, whereas loqs-PD interacts with the product of Dcr-2 to enhance processing of dsRNA into siRNA. (465 aa)
r2d2R2d2, isoform A; R2d2 (r2d2) encodes a double-stranded RNA-binding protein. It interacts with the product of Dcr-2 to form the core of RISC loading complex, which recruits duplex siRNA to the RISC. (311 aa)
AGO2Protein argonaute-2; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger; Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily. (1217 aa)
Cbp80Nuclear cap-binding protein subunit 1; Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds cotranscriptionally to the 5'-cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). The CBC complex is involved in miRNA-mediated RNA interference via its interaction with Ars2 and is required for primary microRNAs (miRNAs) processing. Also involved in innate immunity via the short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) processing machinery by restricting the viral RNA production. In the CBC complex, Cbp80 does not bind directly capped RNAs [...] (800 aa)
