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

rig-5Ig-like domain-containing protein. (482 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
zig-8
Zwei Ig domain protein zig-8; Together with zig-5, required postembryonically to maintain the position of ASI and ASH head neuron cell bodies and ventral nerve cord axons of PVQ, PVP and HSN neurons by preventing their displacement that could occur during body growth and movement. May act by reducing L1CAM-like protein sax-7 (long isoform) adhesion.
   
 
 0.973
slt-1
Slit homolog 1 protein; Functions as a ligand for sax-3 receptor during larval development. Acts via the sax-3/Robo receptor to direct ventral axon guidance and guidance at the midline during embryonic development.
   
 0.930
ncam-1
NCAM (Neural cell adhesion molecule) homolog.
   
 0.875
rig-3
Neuronal immunoglobulin domain-containing protein rig-3; Cell surface protein which plays a role in the plasticity of cholinergic synapses at neuromuscular junctions and in the polarity of the mechanosensory neuron ALM, possibly by antagonizing Wnt signaling.
   
 
 0.846
rig-1
NeuRonal IGCAM.
   
  
 0.825
rig-6
Contactin rig-6; Probable cell adhesion protein involved in patterning of the nervous system, playing a role in ALM and PLM touch receptor axon growth and VNC axon navigation. By associating with the transmembrane protein sax-7, mediates axonal interactions to establish synaptic connections between the AVG interneuron and the two PHC sensory neurons. Also required for non-neuronal cell migration in the excretory canal, regulating excretory canal elongation and excretory cell morphogenesis. Plays a role in regulating male mating behavior.
   
0.731
igcm-3
ImmunoGlobulin-like Cell adhesion Molecule family.
   
 
 0.719
rig-4
Protein sidekick homolog; Cell adhesion protein; Belongs to the sidekick family.
    
 
 0.705
nep-4
Peptidase_M13 domain-containing protein.
      
 0.692
dpr-1
Dauer Pheromone Responsive.
      
 0.612
