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:
aph-1Gamma-secretase subunit Aph-1; Anterior pharynx defective 1 (aph-1) encodes a scaffolding subunit of the gamma-secretase complex together with the products of Psn, Nct and pen-2. It is involved in several Notch related processes such as differentiation, cellular organization and developmental patterning via gamma-secretase proteolitic function. (238 aa)
PsnPresenilin homolog; Probable catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptor. Required for S3 cleavage of Notch, which releases activated Notch protein from the cell membrane. Involved in the patterning of the optic lobes. Belongs to the peptidase A22A family. (541 aa)
NctNicastrin; Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch. It probably represents a stabilizing cofactor required for the assembly of the gamma-secretase complex. (699 aa)
pen-2Gamma-secretase subunit pen-2; Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch. It probably represents the last step of maturation of gamma-secretase, facilitating endoproteolysis of presenilin and conferring gamma-secretase activity. (101 aa)
UbqnUbiquilin, isoform A; Ubiquilin (Ubqn) encodes a protein containing an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. It binds and delivers ubiquitinated, misfolded or no longer functionally required proteins to the ubiquitin-proteasome system and/or autophagy. (547 aa)
BaceBeta-site APP-cleaving enzyme (Bace) encodes an aspartic protease that cleaves amyloid precursor proteins. It contributes to glial cell survival and enhances neuronal degeneration caused by expression of Appl. In humans, Bace, together with the gamma-secretase complex, generates the toxic Abeta peptide that accumulates in Alzheimer's disease; Belongs to the peptidase A1 family. (372 aa)
