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

ire-1Serine/threonine-protein kinase/endoribonuclease ire-1; Senses unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum via its N-terminal domain which leads to enzyme auto- activation. The active endoribonuclease domain splices xbp-1 precursor mRNA to produce the mature form which then induces transcription of UPR target genes. Unfolded protein response (UPR) transcriptional activation by ire-1, as well as translational attenuation by pek-1 in a complementary pathway, maintains ER homeostasis. Regulates the transcriptional up-regulation of nucleoside-diphosphatase apy-1 upon ER str [...] (967 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
xbp-1
BZIP domain-containing protein.

hsp-3
Heat shock 70 kDa protein C; Probably plays a role in facilitating the assembly of multimeric protein complexes inside the ER.
   
 
 0.949
hsp-4
Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP homolog; Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that plays a key role in protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (By similarity). Required for ER dynamics during the first embryonic cell divisions. Specifically, controls ER transition into sheet-like structures at the onset of mitosis, possibly by regulating homotypic membrane fusion. Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.

dnj-29
J domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.703
ero-1
Endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin-1; Oxidoreductase involved in disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum. Efficiently reoxidizes pdi-1, the enzyme catalyzing protein disulfide formation, in order to allow pdi-1 to sustain additional rounds of disulfide formation. Following pdi reoxidation, passes its electrons to molecular oxygen via FAD, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell (By similarity).

atf-6
BZIP domain-containing protein.

hrdl-1
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase hrd-like protein 1; Proposed to have a role in neuroprotection.
   
 
 0.681
sel-11
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase hrd-1; Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin specifically from endoplasmic reticulum-associated ubc-7 E2 ligase and transfers it to substrates, promoting their degradation. Component of the endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) system, which is also called the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) system, involved in ubiquitin-dependent degradation of misfolded endoplasmic reticulum proteins. Also promotes the degradation of normal but naturally short-lived proteins. Protects cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis. Thought to play [...]

rps-15
40S ribosomal protein S15; Negatively regulates lifespan.
    
 
 0.601
cnx-1
Calnexin; Calcium-binding protein that interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It may act in assisting protein assembly and/or in the retention within the ER of unassembled protein subunits. It seems to play a major role in the quality control apparatus of the ER by the retention of incorrectly folded proteins (By similarity). Required for embryogenesis and larval development under heat and ER stress conditions. May be important for germ cell development. Involved in neuronal necrotic cell death.
