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

pac-1GTPase-activating protein pac-1; GTPase-activating protein for members of the Rho subfamily including Rac1, RhoA and cdc42 and other Ras-related subfamilies including let-60. Mediates radial (inner-outer) polarity and gastrulation by excluding par-6 from contacted cell surfaces; acts by inactivating cdc42 at inner cell surfaces which limits active cdc42 to outer cell surfaces devoid of cell-cell contacts, where cdc42 can bind and recruit par-6. Required for blastomere polarization. (1718 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
picc-1
PAC-1 interacting and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 1; Linker protein which helps to recruit the Rho GTPase- activating protein, pac-1, to adherens junctions.
   
 
 0.882
par-6
Partitioning defective protein 6; Necessary for apicobasal and anterior-posterior asymmetries associated with cell adhesion and gastrulation during the first few cell cycles of embryogenesis. Required for localizing/ maintaining par-3 at the cell periphery. Regulates mes-1 expression and/or localization pattern during early embryogenesis. Acts together with par-3 and pkc-3 in maintaining epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Plays a role in endosome and Golgi body positioning. Belongs to the PAR6 family.
   
 0.821
hmp-1
Alpha-catenin-like protein hmp-1; Required for cell migration during body enclosure and cell shape changes during body elongation. Required for proper localization of other junctional components, such as pac-1 ; Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
   
 
 0.803
cdc-42
Cell division control protein 42 homolog; Plays an essential role in spindle orientation and organizing cellular and embryonic polarity by controlling the localization and activity of PAR (partitioning-defective) proteins. Required for maintaining the asymmetric cortical localization of the anterior complex proteins par-3 and par-6, the posterior cortical protein par-2, and pkc-3. Involved in hypodermal cell fusion, together with pak-1 and ced-10, leading to embryonic body elongation, which involves dramatic cytoskeletal reorganization. During gonad morphogenesis, plays a role in dista [...]
   
 0.708
jac-1
Juxtamembrane domain-associated catenin; May act as a positive modulator of hmr-1 function during epidermal morphogenesis. Required for proper localization of other junctional components, such as pac-1 ; Belongs to the beta-catenin family.
   
  
 0.708
hmr-1
Cadherin-related hmr-1; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. Required for adherens junction assembly and connecting adherens junctions to the cytoskeleton. Isoform b is involved in axonal guidance in a subset of motor neurons.
   
  
 0.673
hum-7
Heavy chain, Unconventional Myosin; Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
   
0.647
rho-1
Ras-like GTP-binding protein rhoA; Required for ventral migration of epidermal cells during ventral enclosure in the embryo and for cell elongation. Also required for ventral migration of P cells during larval development. Involved in asymmetric spindle positioning during anaphase and establishment of cell polarity during embryo development. In adults, involved in regulation of multiple processes including locomotion, pharyngeal pumping, fecundity, ovulation, defecation and body morphology. In body wall muscles, regulates organization of myosin thick filaments downstream of unc-89. Ass [...]
