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

tra-2Sex-determining transformer protein 2; Plays a major role in controlling sexual cell fates. Promotes female development in XX animals where it sequesters one or more of the FEM proteins to the membrane thereby freeing the tra-1 protein (a putative transcription factor) to enter the nucleus and promote female development. In XO animals it acts as a receptor for her-1 which prevents it from binding to FEM proteins thereby repressing the activity of tra-1. Negatively regulates male development when bound to fem-3 and is required together with tra-1 for promoting spermatogenesis. Also requ [...] (1475 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fem-3
Sex-determination protein fem-3; Required for male development. In XO (male) animals, fem-3 directs male differentiation in all tissues. In XX (hermaphrodite) animals, it specifies the first 80 or so germ cells to be sperm. Negatively regulates male development when bound to tra-2. Together with fem-2 associates with the CBC(fem-1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of tra-1.

her-1
Protein her-1; Dictates male development. Probably plays a direct role in cell signaling during C.elegans sex determination. Inhibits the function of tra-2a.
    
 
 0.936
tra-1
Sex-determining transformer protein 1; Plays a major role in controlling sexual phenotype. Terminal global regulator in a well-characterized cascade of sex-determining genes. Promotes female development. Interacts with tra-2 to promote spermatogenesis. Promotes spermatogenesis through the Tip60 HAT complex and by regulating the expression of genes, such as fog-3, required for male development (By similarity). Association with chromatin and at the fog-3 promoter requires wdr-5.1, and may also require wdr-5.2. With trr-1, activates the fog-3 gene to determine sperm/oocyte cell fate (By s [...]

gld-1
Female germline-specific tumor suppressor gld-1; RNA-binding protein which recognizes the 5'-UACUCAU-3' RNA consensus sequence. Binds sequences in both the 5'coding and the 3'-UTR region of rme-2 mRNA. Binds sequences in the 3'-UTR region of cye-1 mRNA. Binds to cyb-2.1, cyb-2.2 and cyb-3 mRNA. Binds sequences in the 3'-UTR region of tra-2 mRNA. Germ line-specific tumor suppressor essential for oogenesis. Controls the spatial pattern of translation of multiple oogenesis specific mRNAs (e.g. yolk receptor rme-2) by repression of translation during early meiotic prophase (leptotene to pa [...]

fem-2
Protein phosphatase fem-2; Dephosphorylates auto-phosphorylated Ca(2+)/calmodulin- dependent protein kinase unc-43/CAMKII in vitro. Involved in the regulation of sex determination. Together with fem-3, required for male sexual development by promoting the proteasomal-mediated degradation of tra-1, a transcription repressor of male-specific genes. Promotes apoptosis. Belongs to the PP2C family.
   
  
 0.812
xol-1
XO lethal protein 1; Acts as a primary sex-determining factor that promotes sexual differentiation. Absolutely required for proper sexual differentiation and male viability. High expression during gastrulation triggers male development, while low expression at that time triggers hermaphrodite development. Although related to GHMP kinase, its mode of action remains unclear; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. Xol-1 subfamily.
      
 0.810
tra-3
Calpain-5; Required for the correct female sexual development of the soma and germline in hermaphrodite animals, while being fully dispensable in males. Has calcium-dependent proteolytic activity and is involved in the cleavage of tra-2, for which it acts as a potentiator. Capable of calcium-dependent autolysis. Part of the necrosis cell death pathway. Required for necrosis of intestinal cells induced by B.thuringiensis endotoxin Cry6Aa ; Belongs to the peptidase C2 family.
