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

che-1Transcription 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. (273 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lin-53
Probable histone-binding protein lin-53; Core histone-binding subunit that may target chromatin assembly factors, chromatin remodeling factors and histone deacetylases to their histone substrates in a manner that is regulated by nucleosomal DNA (By similarity). Required for hcp-3 and his-1 stabilization, localization of hcp-3 to centromeres and for proper chromosome segregation. Synthetic multivulva class B (synMuvB) protein. SynMuvB proteins are required to repress the induction of vulval development by Ras signaling and probably act by forming the multiprotein DRM complex that repres [...]

mes-2
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase mes-2; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of a the mes- 2/mes-3/mes-6 complex, which methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target genes. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. The mes-2/mes-3/mes-6 complex may participate in the global inactivation of the X c [...]

mes-6
Polycomb protein mes-6; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. The mes-2/mes-3/mes- 6 complex may participate in the global inactivation of the X chromosomes in germline cells. The complex may act via methylation of histone H3 'Lys-27', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. This complex is required to ex [...]

gcy-5
Receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-5; Guanylate cyclase involved in the production of the second messenger cGMP (By similarity). Unlike other guanylate cyclases expressed in ASE neurons, may not play a role in chemotaxis responses to salt ions mediated by ASE sensory neurons.
      
 0.817
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.
    
 
 0.816
lim-6
LIM domain family.
   
 
 0.754
cog-1
Homeobox domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.741
ttx-3
LIM/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.
   
 
 0.719
ttx-1
Homeobox domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.715
odr-7
Nuclear hormone receptor family member odr-7; Required for the function of one pair of chemosensory neurons called AWA neurons that are involved in chemotaxis to volatile odorants. Acts in a pathway that specifies olfactory neuronal fate. Regulates the transcription of olfactory signaling molecules such as odr-10 that specify AWA neuron identity and function. Represses the expression in AWA neurons of factors such as str-2 which specify AWC neuron identity.
