STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
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

mec-4Degenerin mec-4; Probable sodium channel subunit. May be needed for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior. (768 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CBG14703
Protein CBG14703.
    
 0.999
mec-6
Protein CBR-MEC-6.
    
 
 0.995
mec-10
Degenerin mec-10; Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel subunit required for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
  
 
0.990
sto-6
Protein CBR-STO-6.
    
 0.902
mec-9
Protein CBR-MEC-9.
      
 0.896
mec-5
Protein CBR-MEC-5.
      
 0.890
sto-5
Protein CBR-STO-5.
    
 0.890
mec-7
Tubulin beta-1 chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules (Probable). It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain (Probable). Plays a role in mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity) (By similarity).
      
 0.885
trp-4
Protein CBR-TRP-4; Belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family.
      
 0.867
mec-3
Mechanosensory protein 3; Specifies differentiation of the set of six touch receptor neurons. Binds cooperatively as a heterodimer with unc-86 to sites in the mec-3 gene promoter.
