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

B0238.9Uncharacterized protein. (472 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
    0.478
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.
   
    0.446
C56A3.4
RING-type domain-containing protein.
   
   0.443
mex-6
Zinc 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.
   
    0.439
puf-5
Pumilio domain-containing protein 5; RNA-binding protein that binds to the consensus sequence 5'- CUCUGUAUCUUGU-3' in mRNA 3'-UTRs and modulates mRNA expression and stability. Functions redundantly with puf-6 and puf-7 in oocyte formation and organization, early embryonic cell divisions, and repression of expression of glp-1 and other maternal mRNAs in late oogenesis.
   
    0.433
F16A11.1
Uncharacterized protein.
   
   0.423
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.
   
    0.419
spn-4
RRM domain-containing protein.
   
    0.412
chs-1
Chitin synthase chs-1; Essential for the embryonic synthesis of chitin, a component of the eggshell.
   
  
 0.406
