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

cyk-1CYtoKinesis defect. (1437 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]
   
 0.987
pfn-3
Profilin-3; Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Also binds to poly(L-proline) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate micelles.
    
 
 0.930
inft-2
FH2 domain-containing protein.
   
0.912
ect-2
ECT2 (Mammalian Rho GEF) homolog.
   
 
 0.902
act-5
ACTin.
   
 
 0.900
pfn-1
Profilin-1; Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Also binds to poly(L-proline) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate micelles.
   
 
 0.889
ani-1
Anillin-like protein 1; Required for contractile events in embryos that occur prior to mitosis, such as cortical ruffling and pseudocleavage. Promotes membrane ruffling by organizing cortical patches of septins and myosin II. Not generally required for cytokinesis in mitotic cells. Required for the asymmetric cleavage events that extrude the two polar bodies during oocyte meiosis. Not required for meiotic contractile ring assembly, initiation or closure but is required for the transformation of the contractile ring from a disk above the spindle to a tube around the spindle midzone. Pro [...]
   
  
 0.879
nmy-2
Non-muscle MYosin; Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
   
  
 0.863
pfn-2
Profilin-2; Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG (By similarity).
    
 
 0.860
fozi-1
Formin-homology and zinc finger domains protein 1; Acts redundantly with hlh-1 to promote body wall muscle cell and coelomocyte specification in postembryonic mesoderm progenitors, probably through suppression of sem-2; Belongs to the formin homology family.
