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

mab-5Homeobox 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. (200 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]

egl-5
Homeobox protein egl-5; Essential for the determination of specific neurons.
   
 
0.935
ceh-20
Homeobox protein ceh-20; Transcription factor that binds to the 5'-TGATNNAT(G/T)(G/A)- 3' PBC/Hox lineage enhancer region of sem-2 to promote cell fate specification in the postembryonic mesoderm (also known as the M lineage). Has a role in the mig-13 pathway to promote the guidance, migration and positioning of Q neuroblasts and their descendants along the anteroposterior body axis and the anterior migration of BDU interneurons. Also required for normal vulval formation.
   
 
 0.922
unc-62
Homeobox protein unc-62; Acts redundantly with ceh-20 and ceh-40 to perform overlapping roles during embryogenesis. Required for postembryonic development of the ectoderm, including the Q, V and P cell lineages, playing a crucial role in ensuring that these cells and their descendants undergo their invariant patterns of cell division, migration, fusion and morphogenesis. Has a role in the mig-13 pathway to promote anterior migration of neuroblasts in the Q lineage. Required for multiple roles in regulating vulva development. Belongs to the TALE/MEIS homeobox family.
   
 
 0.866
egl-20
Wnt homolog.
   
 
 0.844
nhr-25
Nuclear hormone receptor family member nhr-25; Orphan nuclear receptor required during development. Plays a role in male tail tip morphogenesis regulating the expression of the transcription factor dmd-3 in a negative feedback loop.
   
 
 0.818
lin-32
Protein lin-32; Essential for the specification of the neuroblast cell fate in the development of peripheral sense organs. Its role in the generation of sensory neurons may be through positively regulating the expression of the zinc finger protein ztf-11 during postdeirid neurogenesis.
   
 
 0.779
pry-1
Axin-like protein pry-1; Works in parallel with axl-1 in negatively regulating bar-1 signaling in vulval precursor cells and Q neuroblasts. Inhibits Wnt signaling, which affects tissue specific expression of Hox genes, egl- 5, lin-39 and mab-5. This in turn affects QR (postembryonic neuroblast) cell migration, vulval cell fate specification, and the development of sensory structures by the seam cell lineage. Has a role in alae V cell patterning, ray formation in the male tail and axon guidance. Does not affect B cell polarity.
   
 
 0.757
lin-22
BHLH domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.753
ceh-34
Homeobox protein ceh-34; Acts as a transcription regulator. Binds to the cis-regulatory element of proapoptotic factor egl-1 gene and together with eya-1 activates egl-1 expression to promote motor neuron M4 sister cell apoptosis. Also promotes apoptosis of I1 pharyngeal neuron sister cell. Together with eya- 1, required to specify the coelomocyte fate in embryonic and postembryonic precursors. Belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family.
