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-17Alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase 1; Specifically acetylates 'Lys-40' in alpha-tubulin/mec-12 on the lumenal side of microtubules. Promotes microtubule destabilization and accelerates microtubule dynamics; this activity may be independent of acetylation activity. Acetylates alpha-tubulin with a slow enzymatic rate, due to a catalytic site that is not optimized for acetyl transfer. Enters the microtubule through each end and diffuses quickly throughout the lumen of microtubules. Acetylates only long/old microtubules because of its slow acetylation rate since it does not have time to act [...] (277 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mec-12
Protein CBR-MEC-12; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. 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.
   
 
 0.868
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).
   
  
 0.755
ttll-4
Tubulin polyglutamylase ttll-4; Polyglutamylase involved in side-chain polyglutamylation of tubulin in sensory cilia. Together with ttll-5 and ttll-11, required for male mating.
  
   
 0.717
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.
      
 0.668
hda-6
Protein CBR-HDAC-6.
   
  
 0.659
ttll-5
Protein CBR-TTLL-5.
   
  
 0.658
mec-18
Protein CBR-MEC-18.
   
  
 0.645
mec-4
Degenerin mec-4; Probable sodium channel subunit. May be needed for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
      
 0.633
coel-1
Protein CBG14382.
      
 0.632
CBG14703
Protein CBG14703.
