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:
Gr68aGustatory receptor 68a; Dsx-dependent essential component of pheromone-driven courtship behavior. Recognizes a female pheromone involved in the second step (tapping step) of the courtship display which is essential for efficient execution of the entire courtship sequence and timely mating. Required for detection of the male sex pheromone CH503 which is transferred from males to females during mating and inhibits courtship behavior by other males. Gr68a-expressing neurons in the male foreleg relay signals to the suboesophageal zone (SEZ) and courtship suppression is mediated by the rele [...] (389 aa)
Or67dOdorant receptor 67d; Plays a role in detection and sensitivity to pheromones and signal transduction of the fatty-acid-derived male pheromone 11-cis vaccenyl acetate (cVA). Acts in concert with Snmp and lush to capture cVA molecules on the surface of Or67d expressing olfactory dendrites and facilitate their transfer to the odorant-receptor Orco complex. Necessary to mediate behavioral responses to cVA by regulating both male and female mating behavior. Activation of Or67d neurons by cVA inhibits courtship of other males, whereas in females their activation promotes receptivity to othe [...] (391 aa)
Or65aOdorant receptor 65a; Odorant receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. The odorant receptor repertoire encodes a large collection of odor stimuli that vary widely in identity, intensity, and duration. May form a complex with Orco to form odorant-sensing units, providing sensitive and prolonged odorant signaling and calcium permeability. Involved in olfactory communication for modulating aggression through the sensing of the male-specific pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA). Although acute exposure to cVA elicites aggression through Or67 [...] (417 aa)
Ir20aIonotropic receptor 20a; Ligand-gated ion channel activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: detection of chemical stimulus. (563 aa)
Gr32aGustatory and pheromone receptor 32a; Gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. Required for the response to N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the most widely used insect repellent worldwide. Functions as a pheromone receptor for a male inhibitory pheromone and promotes male-male aggression and suppresses male-male courtship. Also promotes preferentially virgin females courting over mated females. Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Gustatory receptor (GR) family. Gr21a subfamily. (461 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)
ppkAmiloride-sensitive Na+ channel; Pickpocket (ppk) encodes an acid-sensing sodium channel from the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) family. It contributes to mechanical nociception, larval behavior and dendrite morphogenesis. (606 aa)
Gr39aGustatory and pheromone receptor 39a, isoform C; Gustatory receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. Plays a role in sustaining courtship behavior in males, possibly through the reception of a stimulating arrestant pheromone. (381 aa)
ppk25Pickpocket 25 (ppk25) encodes a DEG/ENaC channel subunit involved in male courtship behavior and pheromone detection; Belongs to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family. (451 aa)
ppk23Pickpocket 23 (ppk23) encodes a gustatory-specific putative non-voltage gated cation channel that belongs to the Degenerin/Epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) family. It contributes to pheromone perception and male courtship behavior. (591 aa)
ppk29Pickpocket 29 (ppk29) encodes a putative non-voltage gated cation channel that belongs to the Degenerin/Epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) family. It contributes to pheromone signaling and neuronal excitability. (425 aa)
fruSex determination protein fruitless; Probably acts as a transcriptional regulator. Part of the somatic sex determination hierarchy; sex determination genes transformer (tra) and transformer-2 (tra-2) switch fru splicing from the male-specific pattern to the female-specific pattern through activation of the female-specific fru 5'-splice site. Vital for the development of males and females. Controls the development of the male specific abdominal muscle of Lawrence. Plays a role in male courtship behavior and sexual orientation. Enhances male-specific expression of takeout in brain-associ [...] (960 aa)
ppk8Pickpocket 8, isoform H; Sodium channel activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: sodium ion transport; Belongs to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family. (569 aa)
Ir84aIonotropic receptor 84a (Ir84a) encodes a member of the Ionotropic Receptor (IR) family of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors. It functions in detection of phenylacetic acid and controls male courtship behavior. (644 aa)
