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

unc-30Homeobox protein unc-30; Transcriptional regulator within D-type neurons that controls terminal differentiation. Required for the development and function of the 19 inhibitory GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric-acid- secreting) D-type motor neurons, which control locomotion. Plays a role in regulating synapse formation in dorsal D (DD) and ventral D (VD) GABAergic motor neurons, possibly in part by regulating the expression of the neural regulator oig-1. Also required for expression of flp-13 in DD motor neurons. Plays a role in respecification of DD motor neurons through regulation of gene [...] (323 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-55
Nuclear hormone receptor unc-55; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Required for ventral D (VD) motor neurons to adopt their normal synaptic pattern. Suppresses expression of flp-13 in VD motor neurons to ensure formation of the correct synaptic pattern. Maintains low cAMP levels in VD motor neurons by enhancing expression of pde-4 which hydrolyzes cAMP and repressing expression of acy-1 which catalyzes cAMP formation. This prevents respecification of synapses by VD neurons. During copulation, required in males for correct movement of the spicules, a pair of prong-like structures whi [...]

unc-3
Transcription factor unc-3; May play a role in the expression of proteins essential for axonal pathfinding and/or neuronal differentiation in both sensory and motor neurons. Cooperates with jmjd-3.1 and wdr-5.1 to ensure robust transdifferentiation of the Y rectal cell to the PDA motor neuron during larval development.
   
  
 0.831
unc-47
Vesicular GABA transporter; Involved in the uptake of GABA into the synaptic vesicles. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
   
  
 0.827
oig-1
Immunoglobulin domain-containing protein oig-1; Plays a role in neural development, where it temporally regulates synapse formation in the D-type inhibitory GABAergic motor neurons, dorsal D (DD) and ventral D (VD) motor neurons. Controls the translocation of postsynaptic proteins, such as the acetylcholine receptor subunit acr- 12, and presynaptic proteins, such as snb-1, along nerve cords to prevent premature synapse remodeling/formation.
      
 0.810
unc-25
Glutamic acid decarboxylase.
      
 0.808
ceh-14
Homeobox protein ceh-14; Confers thermosensory function to neurons. Required for correct AFD-mediated thermotaxis.
   
  
 0.707
slt-1
Slit homolog 1 protein; Functions as a ligand for sax-3 receptor during larval development. Acts via the sax-3/Robo receptor to direct ventral axon guidance and guidance at the midline during embryonic development.
   
 
 0.685
irx-1
Putative iroquois-class homeodomain protein irx-1.
   
  
 0.679
unc-86
Transcription factor unc-86; Transcription factor required for correct cell fate determination and differentiation in diverse neuronal cell lineages where it plays a role in specifying the fate of daughter cells during cell divisions. Involved in sensory neuron production and function. Binds both alone and with mec-3 to the mec-3 promoter to initiate and maintain mec-3 expression which is required for sensory neuron differentiation. In addition, binds both alone and with mec-3 to the promoters of mec-4 and mec-7 which act to regulate sensory neuron function. Involved in determining the [...]
