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:
upd1Unpaired 1 (upd1) encodes a secreted glycoprotein that is able to act at a distance as the primary ligand for the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Although semi-redundant with upd2 and upd3, upd1 depletion results in embryonic lethality with an atypical gap gene-like segmentation phenotype. (413 aa)
CatCatalase (Cat) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. It reduces the amount of oxidative damage to biomolecules and protects cells from the toxic effects of reactive oxygen species. (506 aa)
p38bP38b MAP kinase (p38b) encodes the serine/threonine kinase that constitutes MAP kinase signaling cascades. It is phosphorylated by MAPK kinases and phosphorylates various substrates that play roles in stress responses, immune responses and differentiation; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily. (365 aa)
p38aP38a MAP kinase (p38a) encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinases responsive to diverse stresses. In immune response, it activates its downstream component encoded by Atf-2 that in turn regulates Duox expression. (366 aa)
upd3Unpaired 3 (upd3) encodes a "cytokine" (secreted protein) of the Unpaired family that can bind and activate the JAK-STAT receptor encoded by dome. It is induced in hemocytes or in the intestine upon damage to regulate the repair response in these tissues through JAK-STAT activation. (401 aa)
Sod2Superoxide dismutase 2 (Mn) (Sod2) encodes an enzyme that detoxifies superoxide radicals in mitochondria. The loss of Sod2 generates endogenous oxidative stress that results in reduced activity of critical mitochondrial enzymes, hypersensitivity to oxidative stress and neonatal lethality. A muscle restricted p38Kinase-Mef2-Sod2 signaling module influences life span and stress. (217 aa)
upd2Unpaired 2 (upd2) encodes a secreted molecule that acts at a distance as a ligand for the JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway. upd2 mutants are viable due to redundancy with other Upd-family genes. (406 aa)
