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

rnf-5E3 ubiquitin ligase rnf-5; E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a role in the maintenance of muscle cell boundaries and muscle dense bodies, which establish the adhesion sites of the muscle cells to the extracellular matrix. Ubiquitinates the LIM domain protein unc-95, thereby regulating its dislocalization from muscle dense bodies and weakening the link between the muscle cells and the hypodermis. Regulation of unc-95 dissociation from muscle dense bodies by ubiquitination plays an important role in ecdysis during molting. Plays a role in the cessation of distal tip cell migration at the en [...] (235 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rnf-121
RING finger protein 121; Required for the cessation of distal tip cell migration at the end of larval morphogenesis; Belongs to the RNF121 family.
 
 
  
 0.931
sel-1
Suppressor/Enhancer of Lin-12.
   
 
 0.911
cup-2
Derlin-1; Specifically required for the degradation process of misfolded endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal proteins. Participates in the transfer of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytosol, where they are destroyed by the proteasome in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. Belongs to the derlin family.
   
 0.823
unc-95
LIM domain-containing protein unc-95; Required for the assembly and integrity of muscle dense bodies, which establish the adhesion sites of the muscle cells to the extracellular matrix. Decreased localization of unc-95 to dense bodies and their subsequent dissociation plays an important role in ecdysis during molting. Involved in the organization of the muscle sarcomeric structure and thereby required for locomotion.
    
 
 0.792
R151.6
Derlin-2; May be required for the degradation process of some specific misfolded endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal proteins. Participates in the transfer of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytosol, where they are destroyed by the proteasome in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. Its precise function remains unclear, but its ability to complement der1 mutations in C.cerevisiae, suggests a similar function in the degradation of ER misfolded proteins.
   
 0.769
marc-6
RING-CH-type domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.722
erl-1
Erlin.
   
 0.717
ccdc-55
Nuclear speckle splicing regulatory protein 1 homolog; Required for the cessation of distal tip cell migration at the end of larval morphogenesis; Belongs to the NSRP1 family.
   
  
 0.708
T16G12.6
Xpo1 domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.702
ubq-2
Ubiquitin-60S ribosomal protein L40; [Ubiquitin]: exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked: Lys-48-linked is invol [...]
