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

spon-1SPONdin (Extracellular matrix glycoprotein) family. (819 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
emb-9
Collagen alpha-1(IV) chain; Collagen type IV is specific for basement membranes (Probable). Required to restrict presynaptic growth at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) in late larval stage and in adult motor neurons. May play a role in axon regeneration in embryos following injury in D-type motor neurons.
   
  
 0.717
epi-1
Laminin-like protein epi-1; During the formation of neuromuscular junctions at the larval stage, negatively regulates membrane protrusion from body wall muscles, probably downstream of the integrin complex formed by pat-2 and pat-3.
   
  
 0.705
him-4
EGF-like domain-containing protein.

F23H12.5
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.667
Y73E7A.8
Uncharacterized protein.

ZC250.2
Glycoprotein-N-acetylgalactosamine 3-beta-galactosyltransferase 1.
     
 0.625
ost-1
SPARC; Has a high affinity for collagen. Affects nematode body morphology and mobility. Essential for C.elegans development and muscle function. The cysteine-rich region could have protease inhibitory activity or may provide the framework for a protein binding module. Probable role in skeletal morphogenesis; Belongs to the SPARC family.
