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

unc-86Transcription factor unc-86; Transcription factor required for correct cell fate determination and differentiation in diverse neuronal cell lineages where it plays a role in specifying the fate of daughter cells during cell divisions. Involved in sensory neuron production and function. Binds both alone and with mec-3 to the mec-3 promoter to initiate and maintain mec-3 expression which is required for sensory neuron differentiation. In addition, binds both alone and with mec-3 to the promoters of mec-4 and mec-7 which act to regulate sensory neuron function. Involved in determining the [...] (357 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mec-3
Mechanosensory protein 3; Specifies differentiation of the set of six touch receptor neurons. Binds cooperatively as a heterodimer with unc-86 to sites in the mec-3 gene promoter.
   
 
 0.976
lin-32
Protein lin-32; Essential for the specification of the neuroblast cell fate in the development of peripheral sense organs. Its role in the generation of sensory neurons may be through positively regulating the expression of the zinc finger protein ztf-11 during postdeirid neurogenesis.
  
  
 0.873
ceh-10
Homeobox protein ceh-10; Required for larval development and for cell fate specification and migration of CAN neurons.
   
  
 0.862
ttx-3
LIM/homeobox protein ttx-3; Required for specification of the AIA and AIY interneurons and the NSM neurons. Positively regulates the expression of a number of genes including ceh-23, kal-1, hen-1, ser-2, unc-17 and sra-11 in AIY interneurons and cat-4, flp-4, bas-1, ptps-1 and mgl-1 in NSM neurons. Also acts in an autoregulatory feedback loop to maintain its own expression. Plays a role in the thermotactic response, olfactory imprinting, regulation of longevity, control of dauer formation and axon outgrowth and pathfinding. Not required for normal chemosensory behavior.
   
  
 0.836
ceh-14
Homeobox protein ceh-14; Confers thermosensory function to neurons. Required for correct AFD-mediated thermotaxis.
   
 
 0.811
pag-3
Zinc finger protein PAG-3.
   
  
 0.767
unc-3
Transcription factor unc-3; May play a role in the expression of proteins essential for axonal pathfinding and/or neuronal differentiation in both sensory and motor neurons. Cooperates with jmjd-3.1 and wdr-5.1 to ensure robust transdifferentiation of the Y rectal cell to the PDA motor neuron during larval development.
   
  
 0.767
unc-42
Homeobox domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.766
egl-46
C2H2-type domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.762
lin-11
Protein lin-11; Probable transcription factor which is required for asymmetric division of vulval blast cells. Involved in olfactory plasticity probably by regulating the expression of transcription factor mbr-1 in RIF neurons. Plays a role in the chemorepulsive response toward ascaroside pheromones mediated by the ADL sensory neurons, probably by regulating E-box motif 5'-CANNTG-3' containing target genes in the ADL neurons. Plays a role in the differentiation of the ADL sensory neurons.
