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

mec-19Uncharacterized protein. (129 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
poml-1
PON (Paraoxonase) and MEC-6 Like.
      
 0.910
best-1
Bestrophin homolog 1; Forms chloride channels.
      
 0.850
mec-6
Mechanosensory abnormality protein 6; Probable touch-cell sodium channel subunit. May be needed for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Interacts with degenerin channel proteins and stabilizes the channel. Non-voltage- gated amiloride-sensitive cation channel permeable for sodium, potassium, lithium and N-methylglucamine. Belongs to the paraoxonase family.
      
 0.698
mec-10
Degenerin mec-10; Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel subunit required for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
      
 0.662
aman-2
Alpha-mann_mid domain-containing protein.
      
 0.660
mec-4
Degenerin mec-4; Probable sodium channel subunit. May be needed for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
    
 
 0.653
mec-2
Mechanosensory protein 2; Positively regulates the activity of the putative mechanosensory transduction channel. May link the mechanosensory channel and the microtubule cytoskeleton of the touch receptor neurons. Required for the function of a set of six touch receptor neurons.
      
 0.534
crt-1
Calreticulin; Molecular calcium-binding chaperone promoting folding, oligomeric assembly and quality control in the ER via the calreticulin/calnexin cycle (By similarity). This lectin may interact transiently with almost all of the monoglucosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized in the ER (By similarity). Probably by controlling the folding of extracellular matrix protein unc-52/Perlecan, may play a role in the formation of fibrous organelles, a hemidesmosome-like structure attaching muscles to the epidermis. Protects dopaminergic neurons against oxidative stress-induced neurodegen [...]
