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

hlh-8Twist-related protein; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Involved in postembryonic mesodermal cell fate specification. Activates ceh-24 and egl-15 during mesodermal patterning. (178 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
egl-15
Myoblast growth factor receptor egl-15; Receptor tyrosine kinase required for larval development. May phosphorylate adapter protein soc-1 which in turn may result in the recruitment and/or activation of phosphatase ptp-2. May activate the Ras/MAPK kinase signaling pathway which includes sem-5, sos-1, let-60/Ras, lin-45/Raf, mek-2 and mpk-1. Acts in the hypodermis to regulate axon growth and fluid homeostasis. Activates protein degradation in muscles. Probably following interaction with ligand let-756, regulates negatively membrane protrusion from body wall muscles during larval develop [...]

arg-1
Delta-like protein; Putative Notch ligand involved in the mediation of Notch signaling.
   
 
 0.831
hlh-2
BHLH domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.820
mab-5
Homeobox protein mab-5; Transcription factor that binds to the promoter region of the transcription factor lin-39 to repress its expression in Q neuroblasts and thereby direct left Q neuroblast (QL) daughter cell migration. During postembryonic development, required for posterior-specific pattern formation. Within the posterior body region, controls epidermal, neuronal, and mesodermal cell differentiation. Belongs to the Antp homeobox family.

T12D8.9
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.700
mls-1
T-box transcription factor mls-1; Probable transcription factor required for the cell fate specification of non-striated uterine muscle precursor cells. Furthermore, may function with the transcriptional corepressor unc-37.
   
  
 0.667
mom-2
Protein mom-2; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Involved in cleavage axis determination. Binds to receptor tyrosine kinase cam-1. Together with wnt ligand lin-44, plays a role in controlling vulva precursor cell P7.p lineage orientation during vulva development, probably by acting as a ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor lin-18. May act redundantly with other Wnt ligands such [...]

mef-2
MADS-box domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.625
lin-39
Homeobox protein lin-39; Transcription factor that binds to the consensus 5'- TGATNNAT(G/T)(G/A)-3' PBC/Hox motif of target genes to regulate gene expression. Binds to the consensus PBC/Hox motif lineage enhancer region of sem-2 to promote cell fate specification in the postembryonic mesoderm (also known as the M lineage). Regulates the expression of mig-13 which controls the asymmetric distribution of actin cytoskeleton-binding protein cor-1 in Q neuroblasts. This in turn controls the polarity migration of Q neuroblasts and the subsequent mid-body region-specific development. Belongs [...]
