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

mig-21Abnormal cell migration protein 21; Required for determination of left/right asymmetry in nervous system. Acts together with unc-40 to control an initial left-right asymmetric polarization of the Q neuroblasts. Mig-21 and unc-40 may control the asymmetry in Wnt signaling response by restricting posterior polarization to one of the 2 Q neuroblasts. Involved in left- side QL posterior migration. In right-side QR, unc-40 and mig-21 pathways mutually inhibit each other in posterior migration, allowing anterior QR migration. (313 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ptp-3
Tyrosine-protein phosphatase Lar-like; Has a role in early neural and epidermal development; neuroblast movements during closure of the gastrulation cleft and epidermal morphogenesis. Vab-1 and ptp-3 may function redundantly within the same sets of neuronal precursors.

dpy-19
C-mannosyltransferase dpy-19; C-mannosyltransferase that mediates C-mannosylation of tryptophan residues on target proteins such as unc-5 and mig-21. Mediates the attachment of alpha-mannose in C-C linkage to the C2 of the indole ring of tryptophan. C-mannosylation takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum and frequently found in thrombospondin (TSP) type-1 repeats and in the WSXWS motif of type I cytokine receptors. Required to orient neuroblasts QL and QR correctly on the anterior/posterior (A/P) axis: QL and QR are born in the same A/P position, but polarize and migrate left/right as [...]

cdh-4
Cadherin-4; Potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that controls axon guidance in the ventral cord.
    
 
 0.820
unc-40
Unc-40 protein.
   
  
 0.815
catp-8
Probable manganese-transporting ATPase catp-8; Mediates manganese transport into the endoplasmic reticulum. The ATPase activity is required for cellular manganese homeostasis.
      
 0.693
mab-5
Homeobox protein mab-5; Transcription factor that binds to the promoter region of the transcription factor lin-39 to repress its expression in Q neuroblasts and thereby direct left Q neuroblast (QL) daughter cell migration. During postembryonic development, required for posterior-specific pattern formation. Within the posterior body region, controls epidermal, neuronal, and mesodermal cell differentiation. Belongs to the Antp homeobox family.

egl-20
Wnt homolog.
      
 0.674
cdh-3
Cadherin-3; Cell adhesion protein involved in the control of epithelial morphogenesis. Together with metalloproteinase zmp-1 and hemicentin him-4, plays a role in anchor cell (AC) invasion during postembryonic vulval development.
    
 
 0.605
plx-2
Plexin-2; Involved as a receptor for mab-20/sema-2a in the formation or stabilization of cell-cell contacts at several stages of epithelial morphogenesis. In early embryonic development, required for proper ventral closure of the epidermis. During male tail morphogenesis, involved in precursor cell sorting and in the formation of distinct sensory rays. Involved in axon guidance of SDQL neurons during neurogenesis. Probably in response to stimulation by mab-20, regulates fln-1-mediated remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton and thus axon guidance and/or fasciculation of DD/VD neurons. Bel [...]
