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-3Neuronal 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. (487 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rig-5
Ig-like domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.846
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.
   
 
 0.777
nlg-1
Neuroligin-1; Probable neuronal cell surface protein thought to be involved in cell-cell-interactions by forming intercellular junctions through binding to beta-neurexins (By similarity). Plays a role in the clustering of the GABA(A) receptor unc-49 at postsynaptic sites in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) via the interaction with madd-4 and neurexin nrx-1 and is thereby required for normal GABAergic synaptic transmission. Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
   
 
 0.749
nmr-1
NMDA-type ionotropic glutamate receptor NMR-1; Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family.
   
 
 0.735
rig-1
NeuRonal IGCAM.
   
  
 0.730
wrk-1
Wrapper/Rega-1/Klingon homolog.
   
  
 0.714
glr-1
Glutamate receptor 1; Non-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. May contribute to a sensory discrimination between mechanical and chemical stimuli. Plays a role in controlling movement in response to environmental cues such as food availability and mechanosensory stimulation such as the nose touch response. In AIB interneurons, promotes om [...]
   
 
 0.710
sax-3
Protein sax-3; Required to confine migrating sex myoblasts to the ventral muscle quadrants during their migration through the body and for multiple aspects of sensory, motor, and interneuron axon guidance. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ROBO/SAX3 family.
   
 0.703
pept-3
Peptide transporter 3; Neuron-specific, H(+)-coupled oligopeptide transporter with broad specificity towards di- and tripeptides in a Na(+) and Cl(-)- independent manner. Shows H(+) channel activity in the absence of peptide substrates; Belongs to the PTR2/POT transporter (TC 2.A.17) family.
      
 0.701
rig-4
Protein sidekick homolog; Cell adhesion protein; Belongs to the sidekick family.
