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

ras-2GTP binding protein. (211 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sos-1
Son of sevenless homolog; Promotes the exchange of Ras-bound GDP by GTP (By similarity). May regulate signaling pathways downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase, egl-15 and let-23. Required for larval and male spicule development, fluid homeostasis, vulva induction, spermatogenesis, and oogenesis by promoting meiosis prophase exit during oocyte maturation. Required for the delamination of G1 cell by promoting the loss of cell junctions and detachment from the excretory system during larval development. Plays a role in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-mediated sensitivity to nico [...]
   
 0.954
pxf-1
Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor; Acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for small G protein GTPases like rap-1 and rap-2. Required in the hypodermis, especially in the seam cells, for proper formation of the cuticle. Belongs to the RAPGEF2 family.
   
 0.927
ras-1
GTP binding protein.
  
 
0.914
let-60
Ras protein let-60; The level of let-60 controls the switch between vulval and hypodermal cell fates during C.elegans vulval induction. May stimulate the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of rap-1. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
  
 
0.909
shn-1
Protein shank; Scaffold protein that most likely acts in the postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses which orchestrates synapse formation and maintenance at neuromuscular junctions. Associates with and trafficks the L-type calcium channel egl-19 to the cell surface of body wall muscles to ensure the function of the calcium channel and therefore maintain the Ca(2+) current density. The maintenance of Ca(2+) also allows for the downstream regulation of Ca(2+)-induced expression of genes such as gem-4. Plays a role in the regulation of the defecation cycle, and this may be in as [...]
  
 
 0.874
kin-1
cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit; Essential for larval development. Controls the rhythmic contraction of enteric muscles probably by regulating G- protein coupled receptor aex-2-mediated calcium influx in GABAergic DVB neurons. Plays a role in the control of oocyte meiotic maturation by gonadal sheath cells. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. cAMP subfamily.
   
 
 0.795
soc-2
Leucine-rich repeat protein soc-2; Acts as a Ras effector and participates in MAPK pathway activation. Probably acts as a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates Raf kinase and stimulates Raf activity at specialized signaling complexes upon Ras activation. Required for vulval development. Involved in fluid homeostasis. Plays a role in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-mediated sensitivity to nicotine.
   
 0.792
lin-45
Raf homolog serine/threonine-protein kinase; Protein kinase that participates in the induction of vulva and has roles in fertility and viability. Acts downstream of the Ras protein let-60. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum- mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Positively regulates lifespan upstream of mek-2 and mpk-1. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
   
 0.742
gsp-2
Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase PP1-beta; Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase essential for chromosomal dynamics during meiosis and mitosis. During meiosis, promotes chromosomal cohesion and germline immortality via a small RNA- mediated genome silencing pathway. Antagonizes the function of air-2 kinase during meiosis I and mitosis to promote chromatid cohesion and spindle attachment. Dephosphorylates histone H3 at 'Ser-10' (Probable). Dephosphorylates histone H3 at 'Thr-3' (Probable). Also involved in the activation of chloride channel clh-3 during cell swelling and meiotic matu [...]
   
 0.680
unc-89
Muscle M-line assembly protein unc-89; Structural component of the muscle M line which is involved in assembly and organization of sarcomere myofilaments. The large isoform a, isoform b, isoform d and isoform f play an essential role in maintaining the organization of sarcomeres but not myofilament alignment during body wall muscle development whereas the small isoform c and isoform d appear to have a minor role. Isoform b and isoform f are required for the organization of unc-15/paramyosin into sarcomere thick filaments in body wall muscles. By binding mel-26, a substrate adapter of t [...]
