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

brap-2BRCA1-associated protein homolog 2; Controls the stress response to increased levels of reactive oxygen species by modulating the brc-1-dependent expression of cki-1. (590 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ubq-2
Ubiquitin-60S ribosomal protein L40; [Ubiquitin]: exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked: Lys-48-linked is invol [...]

ubq-1
Ubiquitin-related; Ubiquitin exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked: Lys-48-linked is involved in protein degrad [...]
 
  
 0.858
pink-1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase pink-1, mitochondrial; Protects against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress, potentially by phosphorylating mitochondrial proteins (By similarity). Plays a role in mitophagy.
 
 
    0.849
dhs-8
DeHydrogenases, Short chain.
      
 0.805
ugt-13
UDP-GlucuronosylTransferase.
      
 0.741
gsto-2
Probable glutathione transferase omega-2; Exhibits glutathione-dependent thiol transferase activity. Has dehydroascorbate reductase activity and may contribute to the recycling of ascorbic acid. Participates in the biotransformation of inorganic arsenic and reduces monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) (By similarity); Belongs to the GST superfamily. Omega family.
      
 0.740
let-60
Ras protein let-60; The level of let-60 controls the switch between vulval and hypodermal cell fates during C.elegans vulval induction. May stimulate the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of rap-1. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
    
  0.728
brc-1
Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein homolog; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that specifically mediates the formation of polyubiquitin chains and plays a central role in DNA repair. Plays a role in triggering cellular responses at damage sites in response to DNA damage that may be induced by UV and ionizing radiation for example. Functions in double-strand break repair, and is required for homologous recombination between sister chromatids in meiotic and mitotic cells. In particular, protects against chromosome non-disjunction and nuclear fragmentation during meiotic double-strand [...]
