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

mex-6Zinc finger protein mex-6; Functions with mex-5 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. (467 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mex-3
Muscle EXcess.
   
 
 0.936
pie-1
Pharynx and intestine in excess protein 1; Maternally provided PIE-1 is required for germline cell fate determination. Functions as a repressor of RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression in the developing germline. Required for expression of nos-2 in P4 germline blastomere cells. Inhibits the histone deacetylase activity of hda-1. Represses transcriptional activation of cdk-9 and cit-1.1, which are members of the P-TEFb complex.

spn-4
RRM domain-containing protein.

mex-5
Zinc finger protein mex-5; Functions with mex-6 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. Binds to mRNA in vitro, and inhibits pgl-3-mediated P-granule formation, probably by competing with pgl-3 for binding to mRNA.
   
 
0.874
egg-3
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein egg-3; Probable pseudophosphatase required for the oocyte-to-zygote transition during which it regulates the polarized dispersal of the cortical actin cytoskeleton, the synthesis of the eggshell chitin layer and the formation of the polar bodies after meiosis I and II. Acts as scaffold to tether kinase mbk-2 and pseudophosphatases egg-4 and egg-5 to the oocyte cortex and thus restricts mbk-2 activity to the cortex during meiosis I. Regulates mbk-2 localization to cytoplasmic foci during meiosis II. Also required for chitin synthase chs-1 locali [...]
   
 
 0.872
oma-2
CCCH-type zinc finger protein oma-2; Zinc-finger RNA-binding protein that binds to 5'-UA[AU]-3' motifs in the 3'-UTR of maternal mRNAs to suppress translation in oocytes and embryos. Acts redundantly with oma-1 to control the temporal expression and distribution of maternal proteins and thereby promote meiotic progression, oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development. Also, together with oma-1, is involved in P-granule distribution during embryonic development.
   
  
0.865
zif-1
Zinc finger-interacting factor 1; Probable substrate recognition component of a CBC (Cul2- ElonginB-ElonginC) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Ensures germline precursor cell asymmetry by targeting germline proteins for destruction if expressed in non-germline cells. This process also requires elc-1, cul-2, rbx-1 and ubc-2.
   
 
 0.862
mbk-2
Dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase mbk-2; Required for oocyte-to-zygote transition in which it phosphorylates oocyte proteins, including mei-1, oma-1, oma-2, mex-5, and mex-6, modifying their activity and/or stability following meiosis. Functions in both spindle positioning and in the posterior localization of cytoplasmic determinants, including pie-1, pos-1, and pgl-1, in early embryos. Involved in the asymmetric distribution of plk-1 at the 2-cell embryonic stage.
   
  
 0.860
pos-1
Cytoplasmic zinc-finger protein.
   
  
0.858
cpg-1
Chondroitin proteoglycan 1; Required for polar body extrusion during cytokinesis in embryo development. Affects cortical granule size. Has roles in meiotic chromosome segregation, osmotic barrier function and polarization in conjunction with cpg-2. Binds chitin.
