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

ptp-3Tyrosine-protein phosphatase Lar-like; Has a role in early neural and epidermal development; neuroblast movements during closure of the gastrulation cleft and epidermal morphogenesis. Vab-1 and ptp-3 may function redundantly within the same sets of neuronal precursors. (2248 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
syd-2
Liprin-alpha; May play a role in regulating the structure of the neuronal region, called the active zone, from which synaptic vesicles send neurotransmitter signals across the synapse. This may be in association with the liprin-beta protein hlb-1 ; Belongs to the liprin family. Liprin-alpha subfamily.

mig-21
Abnormal cell migration protein 21; Required for determination of left/right asymmetry in nervous system. Acts together with unc-40 to control an initial left-right asymmetric polarization of the Q neuroblasts. Mig-21 and unc-40 may control the asymmetry in Wnt signaling response by restricting posterior polarization to one of the 2 Q neuroblasts. Involved in left- side QL posterior migration. In right-side QR, unc-40 and mig-21 pathways mutually inhibit each other in posterior migration, allowing anterior QR migration.

cdh-4
Cadherin-4; Potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that controls axon guidance in the ventral cord.
   
  
 0.869
elks-1
Mammalian ELKS/CAST/ERC/Rab6 interacting protein homolog.
   
  
 0.787
vab-1
Ephrin receptor 1; Receptor for members of the ephrin family (By similarity). Receptor for major sperm proteins (MSPs), that functions as sperm- sensing checkpoint which inhibits oocyte meiotic maturation and ovulation when sperm are not available for fertilization. Specifically, functions to negatively regulates oocyte maturation and MAPK activation in the absence of MSPs. Required for the MSP-mediated increase in the basal sheath cell contraction rate in somatic cells. Phosphorylates phosphatase daf-18/PTEN which probably promotes daf-18 degradation. By inactivating daf-18, regulates [...]

hlb-1
Liprin-beta homolog; Involved in the regulation of synaptic function at neuromuscular junctions. Together with the liprin- alpha protein syd-2, may play a role in regulating the structure of the neuronal region, called the active zone, from which synaptic vesicles send neurotransmitter signals across the synapse. Does not seem to be required for neuronal development. May regulate the disassembly of focal adhesions (By similarity). Does not bind receptor-like tyrosine phosphatases type 2A (By similarity); Belongs to the liprin family. Liprin-beta subfamily.
   
 
 0.720
nid-1
NIDogen (Basement membrane protein).
    
 
 0.710
sdn-1
Probable syndecan; Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate (By similarity). Required for correct mitotic spindle orientation of the ABar blastomere division plane and this may be through modulation of astral microtubule array, and in association with the wnt-signaling proteins mig-5 and dsh-2. Involved in the migration of AQR and PQR neurons, which descend from the Q neuroblasts. Promotes the axon guidance of D-type motor neurons.
   
  
 0.709
efn-4
Ephrin-4; Regulates the formation or stabilization of cell-cell contacts at several stages of epithelial morphogenesis. In early embryonic development, involved in ventral closure of the epidermis. During male tail morphogenesis, regulates precursor cell sorting together with mab-20 and allows the formation of distinct sensory rays. Probably acts as a ligand for lad-2 to regulate axon guidance of several neurons including SDQL, SDQR, SMD and PLN neurons during neurogenesis.

F01G4.6
Phosphate carrier protein, mitochondrial; Transport of phosphate groups from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
