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

hbl-1Hunchback-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. (982 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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 [...]

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.

lin-28
Protein 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.

lin-29
Transcription factor.
      
 0.875
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.
      
 0.850
puf-9
PUM-HD domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.828
daf-12
Nuclear hormone receptor family member daf-12; Nuclear receptor which binds directly to response elements in target gene promoters. Activity is modulated by binding of steroid hormone ligands that include dafachronic acids. Regulates expression of genes involved in postembryonic development and the dauer diapause, in response to environmental cues. Inhibits the expression of let-7 family members when bound to corepressor din-1s which is an isoform of din-1. Has a role in the immune response to bacterial infection, via regulation of let-7 miRNAs. Controls expression of genes that promot [...]

nhl-2
NHL (Ring finger b-box coiled coil) domain containing.
   
 
 0.753
lin-42
Period protein homolog lin-42; Transcriptional repressor which interacts with the promoter region of target genes. Has a specific role in developmental timing where it regulates temporal expression of a number of miRNAs and mRNAs. Controls temporal cell fate transition during embryonic and early larval development by restricting the expression of specific miRNAs, including let-7, miR-48, lin-4, miR-35 and miR-58. Restricts the accumulation of lin-29 in the hypodermis to the larval L4 stage, thus controlling terminal differentiation of seam cells. Has a role in the miRNA-mediated specif [...]

alg-1
Protein argonaute; Belongs to the argonaute family.
