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

ttx-3LIM/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. (409 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ldb-1
LID domain-containing protein.

ceh-10
Homeobox protein ceh-10; Required for larval development and for cell fate specification and migration of CAN neurons.
   
  
0.868
sra-11
Serpentine receptor class alpha-11; A G protein-coupled receptor required for olfactory imprinting a requisite in ordorant response such as benzaldehyde and isoamylalcohol; Belongs to the nematode receptor-like protein sra family.

unc-86
Transcription 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 [...]

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.
   
  
 0.805
che-1
Transcription factor che-1; Transcription factor essential for the identity of ASE chemosensory neurons. Acts by activating expression of genes that are specific for ASE chemosensory neurons, such as seven-transmembrane receptors or guanylate cyclase. Also required to control the left/right asymmetry in ASE chemosensory neurons by regulating expression of genes such as cog-1 and ceh-36.

ast-1
ETS domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.700
tph-1
BH4_AAA_HYDROXYL_2 domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.699
ceh-36
Homeobox protein ceh-36; Mediates chemosensory function of ASE and AWC neurons. In ASE neurons, required to diversify the fate of the ASEL neurons from the ASER neurons. In cooperation with the transcription factor sox-2, required for the differentiation of AWC olfactory neurons. May regulate the expression of sox-2 in AWC olfactory neurons. Belongs to the paired homeobox family.

gcy-8
Receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-8; Guanylate cyclase involved in the production of the second messenger cGMP. Regulates thermotaxis responses in AFD sensory neurons. May regulate AFD neuronal activity such as calcium responses to temperature gradients. Maintains the microvilli receptive ending morphology of the AFD thermosensory neurons by regulating cGMP levels downstream of kcc-3. cGMP levels antagonize the actin cytoskeleton regulator wsp-1.
