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

pkc-3Protein kinase C-like 3; Required for the normal progression of embryogenesis and viability of the organism. Plays an indispensable role in establishing embryonic polarity and in recruiting and maintaining par-6 to the periphery, through interaction with par-3. Required for epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Phosphorylates serine residues of num-1. Required for the expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp-29 in response in response to fungal infection or physical injury. (597 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
par-3
Partitioning defective protein 3; In cooperation with pkc-3, required for establishing cell polarity and regulating spindle orientation in the early embryo. Localization is crucial for recruiting par-6 and pkc-3 to the peripheral apical cortex and restricting par-2 to basolateral surfaces. Necessary for apicobasal and anterior-posterior asymmetries associated with cell adhesion and gastrulation during the first few cycles of embryogenesis, and also for epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Regulates the asymmetric localization of csnk-1, ppk-1 and gpr-1/2 during the first [...]

par-6
Partitioning defective protein 6; Necessary for apicobasal and anterior-posterior asymmetries associated with cell adhesion and gastrulation during the first few cell cycles of embryogenesis. Required for localizing/ maintaining par-3 at the cell periphery. Regulates mes-1 expression and/or localization pattern during early embryogenesis. Acts together with par-3 and pkc-3 in maintaining epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Plays a role in endosome and Golgi body positioning. Belongs to the PAR6 family.
   
 
 0.999
cdc-42
Cell division control protein 42 homolog; Plays an essential role in spindle orientation and organizing cellular and embryonic polarity by controlling the localization and activity of PAR (partitioning-defective) proteins. Required for maintaining the asymmetric cortical localization of the anterior complex proteins par-3 and par-6, the posterior cortical protein par-2, and pkc-3. Involved in hypodermal cell fusion, together with pak-1 and ced-10, leading to embryonic body elongation, which involves dramatic cytoskeletal reorganization. During gonad morphogenesis, plays a role in dista [...]

lgl-1
LLGL domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.986
num-1
Numb-related protein 1; Involved in the tethering and targeting of pkc-3 to modulate the intracellular distribution of the kinase. The complex formed with pkc-3 complexes are likely to be involved in assembly, maintenance, and/or regulation of protein complexes that execute asymmetric and/or polarized cell functions.
   
 
 0.984
rho-1
Ras-like GTP-binding protein rhoA; Required for ventral migration of epidermal cells during ventral enclosure in the embryo and for cell elongation. Also required for ventral migration of P cells during larval development. Involved in asymmetric spindle positioning during anaphase and establishment of cell polarity during embryo development. In adults, involved in regulation of multiple processes including locomotion, pharyngeal pumping, fecundity, ovulation, defecation and body morphology. In body wall muscles, regulates organization of myosin thick filaments downstream of unc-89. Ass [...]

let-413
Protein lap1; Critical role in assembling adherens junctions; adapter protein involved in polarizing protein trafficking in epithelial cells. Necessary to maintain, not establish, the entire terminal web (organelle-depleted, intermediate filament-rich layer of cytoplasm that underlies the apical microvilli of polarized epithelial cells) or brush border assembly at the apical surface gut cells. Required for correct localization of ifb-2 intermediate filaments in the terminal web. Required for dlg-1 lateral localization. With dlg-1, cooperatively regulates ajm-1 localization to apical ju [...]

par-2
RING-type domain-containing protein.

lin-5
Spindle apparatus protein lin-5; Essential component of the spindle apparatus required for spindle positioning and chromosome movement. Acts to recruit or anchor gpr-1/gpr-2 complex to the spindle and cortex. Also involved, directly or indirectly, in cytokinesis and in the coupling of DNA replication, centrosome duplication and mitotic division.
