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

vhl-1Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor homolog; Involved in the response to variation in environmental oxygen levels by targeting the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor hif-1 for proteasomal degradation when oxygen levels are normal (around 20%). By regulating hif-1 expression, plays a role in iron homeostasis, aging, heat acclimation and progeny size. Mediates resistance to enteropathogenic E.coli. Mediates susceptibility to B.thuringiensis pore-forming toxins. Not involved in P.aeruginosa susceptibility. Belongs to the VHL family. (174 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hif-1
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1; A transcription factor which is a key regulator in various cellular processes; including environment stress resistance (oxygen levels, hydrogen sulfide and cyanide levels and heat), negative regulation of cell apoptosis in ASJ neurons by inhibition of cep-1 via transcriptional activation of tyr-2, resistance/susceptibility to pathogenic bacteria, lifespan and brood size. Involved in mediating susceptibility to enteropathogenic E.coli. Increased levels of hif-1 activity confer resistance to P.aeruginosa-mediated death but also confer susceptibility to S.aureu [...]

cul-2
Cullin-2; Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based CBC (Cul2- ElonginB-ElonginC) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The functional specificity of the CBC complex depends on the variable substrate recognition component (By similarity). May function in ubiquitin-mediated degradation of CKIs to target cki-1 for degradation. CBC(zif-1) may ensure germline precursor cell [...]

elb-1
RNA polymerase II transcription factor SIII p18 subunit.
   
 0.988
rbx-1
RING-box protein 1; Component of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Through the RING-type zinc finger, seems to recruit the E2 ubiquitination enzyme to the complex and brings it into close proximity to the substrate (By similarity). Essential for meiosis, mitotic chromosomal condensation and cytokinesis. Involved in histone H3 phosphorylation.

Skp1_POZ domain-containing protein.

egl-9
Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase; Cellular oxygen sensor which regulates the stability and the activity of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor, hif-1. In normoxic conditions, hydroxylates hif-1 targeting it for vhl-1-mediated proteasomal degradation. In addition, regulates hif-1 transcriptional activity in a vhl-1-independent manner and independently of its hydroxylase activity. By regulating hif-1 activity, controls several cellular responses. Mediates susceptibility to B.thuringiensis and V.cholerae pore-forming toxins and enteropathogenic E.coli. Mediates susceptibilit [...]

zer-1
Zyg eleven-related protein 1; Acts as target recruitment subunit in the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex zer-1-cul-2-elc-1.

elc-2
Skp1_POZ domain-containing protein; Belongs to the SKP1 family.

rhy-1
Regulator of hypoxia-inducible factor 1; Involved in the response to variation in environmental oxygen levels by inhibiting hif-1-mediated gene transcription in a vhl-1- independent manner. Plays a role in susceptibility to killing mediated by P.aeruginosa and by pore-forming toxins produced by B.thuringiensis. Probably by preventing hif-1 transcriptional activity, regulates behavioral responses, such as locomotion speed following acute reoxygenation. Plays a role in normal egg-laying probably by regulating spermatogenesis and in body morphogenesis.
