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

lin-28Protein lin-28; Heterochronic protein which controls the choice of stage specific cell fates. Regulates the timing of the second larval stage events (L2 events) in the hypodermis. May negatively regulate the larval to adult transition via the suppression of the microRNA (miRNA) let-7 during L3. Plays a role in the control of seam cell number and vulval development. Belongs to the lin-28 family. (227 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lin-14
Protein lin-14; Heterochronic protein which controls the choice of stage specific cell fates. Involved in the temporal progression of vulval fate patterning, possibly by inhibiting lin-12. Acts as a transcription factor involved in the stage-specific repression of insulin/insulin- like growth factor gene ins-33. Isoform A may be involved in specifying L1 cell fates while isoform B1 and isoform B2 may specify L2 and later cell fates, creating a temporal switch.

sox-2
Transcription factor sox-2; Probable transcription factor that regulates the lineage progression of embryonic blast cells and controls the postmitotic specification and differentiation of neurons. Cooperates with additional factors to direct the differentiation of the olfactory neurons, functioning with the transcription factor ceh-36 to specify AWC neurons and with the LIM homeodomain factor lim-4 to suppress AWC terminal differentiation and promote AWB neuron differentiation. Plays a role in the terminal differentiation of glutamatergic and cholinergic neurons. Required for natural r [...]

lin-41
Protein lin-41; Heterochronic protein which acts downstream of let-7 in temporal patterning. Plays a role in the developmental timing of postembryonic hypodermal seam cell division and fusion events and adult alae production. Represses lin-29 during late larval stages, which prevents terminal differentiation of hypodermal seam cells and promotes their division. Involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation, uses two independent pathways. Has direct and specific RNA-binding activity and, depending on the location (5'UTR or 3'UTR) of the target site, triggers either mRNA decay or repr [...]

pup-2
PAP-associated domain-containing protein.

hbl-1
Hunchback-like protein; Required for the late stages of development. Plays a role in the developmental timing of postembryonic hypodermal seam cell fusion events and adult alae production.

hrp-1
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1; This protein is a component of ribonucleosomes. Overexpression gradually increases telomere length, leading to increase lifespan.
   
 
 0.882
drsh-1
Ribonuclease 3; Executes the initial step of microRNA (miRNA) processing in the nucleus, that is the cleavage of pri-miRNA to release pre-miRNA. Involved in pre-rRNA processing. Cleaves double-strand RNA and does not cleave single-strand RNA. Involved in fertility. Required for the function or synthesis of the let-7 miRNA. Belongs to the ribonuclease III family.

F15E6.3
RRM-type RNA binding protein.
   
  
 0.851
lin-46
Molybdopterin molybdenumtransferase; Catalyzes two steps in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. In the first step, molybdopterin is adenylated. Subsequently, molybdate is inserted into adenylated molybdopterin and AMP is released.
