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:
EgfrEpidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...] (1426 aa)
DecayDeath executioner caspase related to Apopain/Yama (Decay) encodes one of the seven members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases. It has substrate specificity similar to the effector caspases encoded by Drice and Dcp-1; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (308 aa)
wgProtein wingless; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Segment polarity protein. May be a growth factor. Acts on neighboring cells to regulate at least one gene, the homeobox segmentation gene engrailed. Wg signal represses arm phosphorylation. Wg signaling operates by inactivating the sgg repression of engrailed autoactivation. Wg and Wnt2 have a role in the developing trachea and together are responsible for all dorsal trunk formation. Wg also acts in the developing epidermis. Acts as a morphogen, [...] (468 aa)
DroncCaspase Nc subunit 1; Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Effector of steroid-mediated apoptosis during insect metamorphosis. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death. Interaction with Diap1 is required to suppress Dronc-mediated cell death; via Diap1-mediated ubiquitination of Dronc. Rate-limiting caspase in rpr and hid death pathway. (450 aa)
Wnt5Protein Wnt-5; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters. May have a role in limb and CNS development; may be a downstream target of Dll that acts in the specification of these primordia; Belongs to the Wnt family. (1004 aa)
tefuSerine/threonine-protein kinase ATM; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q. Required to suppress spontaneous apoptosis of proliferating cells during development, and for their proper differentiation. Required for female fertility. Protects telomeres from fusion, maybe by recruiting or maintaining chromatin- modifying complexes such as Su(var)205/HP1. May activate checkpoint signaling in response to DNA double-stranded breaks induced by low-dose ionizing radiation. May phosphorylate histone H2AV. Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. AT [...] (2767 aa)
hhProtein hedgehog C-product; Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Establishes the anterior-posterior axis of the embryonic segments and patterns the larval imaginal disks. Binds to the patched (ptc) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (smo), to activate the transcription of target genes wingless (wg), decapentaplegic (dpp) and ptc. In the absence of hh, ptc represses the constitutive signaling activity of smo through fused (fu). Essential component of a signaling pathway which regulates the Duox-dependent gut immune r [...] (471 aa)
PaxPaxillin, isoform F; Paxillin (Pax) encodes an adaptor protein that is generally associated with integrins. It is not required for most integrin-mediated adhesion or migration events, but is required for viability beyond pupal stages. It controls the size of some muscles by regulating the rate of cell fusion. (581 aa)
DebclDeath executioner Bcl-2 (Debcl) encodes a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family involved in programmed cell death. (300 aa)
DriceCaspase subunit p12; Death related ICE-like caspase (Drice) encodes a major effector apoptotic caspase. It is essential for both developmental and damaged induced cell death, as well as several non-apoptotic vital cellular processes. It is activated by the product of Dark and the initiator caspase encoded by Dronc and is inhibited by the inhibitor of apoptosis encoded by Diap1; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (339 aa)
Nf1Neurofibromin 1 (Nf1) encodes a protein that functions as a GTPase activating protein for the products of Ras85D and Ras64B in the larval and adult nervous system. Loss of Nf1 results in excess Ras-Raf-ERK signaling and to a non-cell-autonomous cAMP/PKA signaling defect. The product of Nf1 contributes to postembryonic growth, learning/memory, and circadian rhythm. (2802 aa)
