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

jnk-1Stress-activated protein kinase jnk-1; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors such as daf-16, and thus regulates transcriptional activity. By phosphorylating daf-16, plays a role in daf-16 nuclear translocation in intestinal cells in response to environmental stresses such as heat and oxidative stresses. Downstream of jkk-1, may coordinate locomotion via type-D GABAergic motoneurons and regulates synaptic vesicle transport in conjunction with unc-16. Independently of jkk-1, may regulate s [...] (463 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
daf-16
Forkhead box protein O; Forkhead-type transcription factor. Binds to the promoters of genes that contain the daf-16 binding element (DBE), TTGTTTAC, in their regulatory region. Functions in the Insulin/IGF-1-like signaling (IIS) mediated pathway which affects lipogenesis, lifespan, starvation survival, heat shock and oxidative stress responses, and dauer formation. Longevity signaling predominantly arises from expression in the intestine. Daf-16 transcriptional activity is negatively regulated by cytoplasmic sequestration by association with ftt-2. Inhibition is required for the carbon [...]

mek-1
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase mek-1; Dual specificity protein kinase which may phosphorylate kgb-1 and thereby is an essential component of the JNK pathway composed of mlk-1, mek-1 and kgb-1. May also have a synergistic role with sek-1 in phosphorylating pmk-1. Involved in the response to environmental stress including heavy metal ions (Cu(2+) and Cd(2+)), oxidative stress and starvation. In association with sek-1, regulates germline cell apoptosis in response to oxidative, osmotic and heat shock stresses. Involved in resistance to pathogenic bacteria infecti [...]

jkk-1
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase jkk-1; Dual specificity protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the JNK signal transduction pathway. May phosphorylate jnk-1. Plays a role in coordinating locomotion via D-type GABAergic motoneurons and in regulating synaptic vesicle transport downstream of adapter protein unc-16 and probably by activating jnk-1. Positively regulates lifespan. Upon environmental stress such as heat stress regulates daf-16 nuclear translocation probably by activating jnk-1. Regulates germline cell apoptosis in response to heavy meta [...]

vhp-1
Tyrosine-protein phosphatase vhp-1; Acts preferentially on the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPKs. Plays an important role in the heavy metal stress response and in axon regeneration by negatively regulating the kgb-1 (JNK-like) and the pmk-1 (p38-type) MAPK signaling pathways. Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non- receptor class dual specificity subfamily.
   
 0.971
mkk-4
MAP kinase kinase mkk-4; Activity is required in presynaptic neurons, in a dose- dependent manner, for normal presynaptic development and morphology. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.
  
0.971
sek-6
Protein kinase domain-containing protein.
  
0.959
sek-3
Protein kinase domain-containing protein; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.
  
0.959
fos-1
Transcription factor fos-1; Developmentally regulated transcription factor which binds and recognizes the enhancer DNA sequence 5'-TGA[CG]TCA-3'. [Isoform b]: Required for ovulation. Controls plc-1 expression in the spermatheca to regulate spermathecal valve dilation. Acts with hda-1 as a downstream repressor of the kgb-1 mediated stress response pathway that transcriptionally represses genes involved in the response to heavy metals, such as kreg-1 ; Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily.
   
 0.937
rac-2
Ras-related protein rac-2; During gonad morphogenesis, plays a role in distal tip cell (DTC)-mediated guidance of gonad elongation.
   
 0.935
hsp-70
Heat Shock Protein; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
