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

dim-1Disorganized muscle protein 1; Stabilizes the attachment of the myofilament lattice to the muscle cell membrane. Isoform b is sufficient for wild-type function. (640 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-87
Protein unc-87; Thin filament-associated protein that is implicated in actin bundling and actin filament dynamics. Exhibits F-actin cross-linking activity. Required for the maintenance of sarcomeric actin organization in striated muscles. Competes with unc-60 isoform b for actin binding and protects actin filaments from depolymerization by unc-60, thereby contributing to actin filament stability. Cooperates with myosin to form actomyosin bundles and inhibits actomyosin ATPase activity and actomyosin motility. Might protect the myofilaments from mechanical stress.

uig-1
PH domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.766
unc-112
Protein unc-112; Component of an integrin containing attachment complex, which is required for muscle development and maintenance. Probable regulator of cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. Required during initial muscle assembly to form dense bodies and M-lines.
   
  
 0.762
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.
   
  
 0.757
zyx-1
Zyxin; Functions as both a mechanical stabilizer (via LIM domains) of focal adhesions and as a sensor component for muscle cell damage (via N-terminus). Regulates, stabilizes and maintains posterior lateral mechanosensory (PLM) synaptic branch extension and new synapse formation and growth during larval development.
   
 
 0.700
alp-1
ALP/Enigma encoding.
   
  
 0.689
unc-15
Paramyosin; Structural component of the muscle thick filaments which is involved in assembly and organization of sarcomere myofilaments. Involved in ovulation. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord. Belongs to the paramyosin family.
   
 
 0.686
unc-98
Zinc finger protein unc-98; Probable transcription factor required for muscle structure. Its dual subcellular localization suggests that it may function both as a muscle adhesion complex protein and as a transcription factor, or work together with transcription factors, to influence gene expression. Thought to act as a molecular bridge between unc-97 and myo-3 at the M-line of muscles, possibly in a signaling role. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.

unc-82
Protein kinase domain-containing protein.

Galectin.
