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

lin-41Protein lin-41; Heterochronic protein which acts downstream of let-7 in temporal patterning. Plays a role in the developmental timing of postembryonic hypodermal seam cell division and fusion events and adult alae production. Represses lin-29 during late larval stages, which prevents terminal differentiation of hypodermal seam cells and promotes their division. Involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation, uses two independent pathways. Has direct and specific RNA-binding activity and, depending on the location (5'UTR or 3'UTR) of the target site, triggers either mRNA decay or repr [...] (1147 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
alg-1
Protein argonaute; Belongs to the argonaute family.

lin-29
Transcription factor.

oma-1
CCCH-type zinc finger protein oma-1; Zinc-finger RNA-binding protein that binds to 5'-UA[AU]-3' motifs in the 3'-UTR of maternal mRNAs to suppress translation in oocytes and embryos. Acts as a ribonucleoprotein particle component that may exert part of its function within cytoplasmic foci of unfertilized oocytes. Acts redundantly with oma-2 to control the temporal expression and distribution of maternal proteins and thereby promote meiotic progression, oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development. Recruits the translational repressor ifet-1 to the 3'-UTR of mei-1 and zif- [...]

alg-2
Protein argonaute; Belongs to the argonaute family.

cgh-1
ATP-dependent RNA helicase cgh-1; Probable RNA helicase required for oocyte and sperm function. Also required to prevent the physiological germline apoptosis mechanism killing essentially all developing oocytes. Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX6/DHH1 subfamily.
   
 0.945
lin-14
Protein lin-14; Heterochronic protein which controls the choice of stage specific cell fates. Involved in the temporal progression of vulval fate patterning, possibly by inhibiting lin-12. Acts as a transcription factor involved in the stage-specific repression of insulin/insulin- like growth factor gene ins-33. Isoform A may be involved in specifying L1 cell fates while isoform B1 and isoform B2 may specify L2 and later cell fates, creating a temporal switch.
      
 0.938
ergo-1
Piwi-like protein ergo-1; Argonaute protein required for gene silencing in the endogenous RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Involved in the 26G RNAi pathway and associates with both unmethylated and methylated 26G small interfering RNAs (26G- siRNAs), which are a class of 26 nucleotide siRNAs that possess a guanine residue at the 5'-end. Associated 26G-siRNAs are methylated by the methyltransferase henn-1, which stabilizes the siRNAs. Association with 26G- siRNAs is required for the biogenesis of secondary 22G-siRNAs (a class of 22 nucleotide siRNAs that possess a triphosphorylated guan [...]

lin-28
Protein lin-28; Heterochronic protein which controls the choice of stage specific cell fates. Regulates the timing of the second larval stage events (L2 events) in the hypodermis. May negatively regulate the larval to adult transition via the suppression of the microRNA (miRNA) let-7 during L3. Plays a role in the control of seam cell number and vulval development. Belongs to the lin-28 family.

hbl-1
Hunchback-like protein; Required for the late stages of development. Plays a role in the developmental timing of postembryonic hypodermal seam cell fusion events and adult alae production.
