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

sptl-1Serine palmitoyltransferase 1; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen. (458 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sptl-2
Serine palmitoyltransferase 2; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
  
0.999
sptl-3
Serine palmitoyltransferase 3; Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) that catalyzes the first committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is the condensation of an acyl-CoA species and L-serine. The catalytic core is composed of a heterodimer of sptl-1 and sptl-2 or sptl-1 and sptl-3 (By similarity). Required for the specification of abicobasal polarity and development of the gut lumen; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
  
0.998
Y37E11AM.3
Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
     
 0.981
sphk-1
Sphingosine kinase 1; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Also acts on sphinganine (By similarity). Required for neurotransmitter release from neuromuscular junctions. Acts by recruiting the synaptic vesicle priming protein unc-13 to synapses (Probable).
  
 
 0.936
W02F12.2
Alkaline ceramidase; Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid; Belongs to the alkaline ceramidase family.
   
  
 0.936
cerk-1
Ceramide kinase 1; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ceramide to form ceramide 1- phosphate.
  
 
 0.903
cgt-3
Ceramide glucosyltransferase 3; Catalyzes the first glycosylation step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, the transfer of glucose to ceramide. Seems to be the major active form in the nematode.
  
 
 0.885
hyl-2
Ceramide synthase hyl-2; Catalyzes the acylation of sphingosine to form ceramides. Exhibits substrate preference for fatty acyl-coA chains containing 20 and 22 carbons. Required for adaptation of the nematode to anoxia. Anoxia tolerance may require one or more of the ceramide species that are either specifically or preferentially synthesized by hyl-2, and seems to be effected by a pathway that is parallel to that involving daf-2.
   
  
 0.883
mel-32
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase; Interconversion of serine and glycine; Belongs to the SHMT family.
  
 
 0.875
asah-2
Probable acid ceramidase; Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid.
      
 0.858
