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

lir-1LIR-1A protein. (309 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nrde-3
Nuclear RNAi defective-3 protein; Transports small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Required for RNA interference (RNAi) in nuclei. Required for exogenous RNAi-induced H3K27 methylation.
   
  
 0.738
eri-1
3'-5' exonuclease eri-1; RNA exonuclease that acts as a negative regulator of RNA interference (RNAi). Probably acts by degrading the 3'-overhangs of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Its tissue specificity may help explain the inefficiency of neuronal RNAi.
   
  
 0.707
lin-15A
Protein lin-15A; Synthetic multivulva (synMuv) class A protein. SynMuv proteins are required to repress the induction of vulval development. Acts redundantly with SynMuv class B protein lin-15B, and lin-35 to negatively regulate vulval development, most likely through antagonization of the Ras-signaling pathway. May also negatively regulate vulval development in association with other SynMuv class B proteins such as dpl-1 and efl-1. Regulates let-23 basal activity. Required for the correct expression and/or stability of lin-56.
   
  
 0.702
nrde-2
Nuclear exosome regulator NRDE2; Protein of the nuclear speckles that regulates RNA exosomal degradation (By similarity). Involved in short interfering RNAs- mediated silencing in nuclei. Functions with nrde-3 in the nuclear RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) pathway to regulate gene expression via inhibition of RNA polymerase II during the elongation phase of transcription. Required for exogenous RNAi-induced H3K27 methylation. Belongs to the NRDE2 family.
      
 0.698
dpy-13
Cuticle collagen dpy-13; Nematode cuticles are composed largely of collagen-like proteins. The cuticle functions both as an exoskeleton and as a barrier to protect the worm from its environment. Mutations in dpy-13 affects the body shape.
      
 0.693
henn-1
Small RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase; Methyltransferase that adds a 2'-O-methyl group at the 3'-end of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which are classes of regulatory RNAs that are involved in gene silencing in endogenous RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Methylation protects the 3'-end of small RNAs from tailing and trimming and could constitute a recognition signal for appropriate argonaute machineries (Probable). Methylates and stabilizes 26G-siRNAs (a class of 26 nucleotide siRNAs that possess a monophosphorylated guanine residue at the 5'-end) when t [...]
   
  
 0.684
ergo-1
Piwi-like protein ergo-1; Argonaute protein required for gene silencing in the endogenous RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Involved in the 26G RNAi pathway and associates with both unmethylated and methylated 26G small interfering RNAs (26G- siRNAs), which are a class of 26 nucleotide siRNAs that possess a guanine residue at the 5'-end. Associated 26G-siRNAs are methylated by the methyltransferase henn-1, which stabilizes the siRNAs. Association with 26G- siRNAs is required for the biogenesis of secondary 22G-siRNAs (a class of 22 nucleotide siRNAs that possess a triphosphorylated guan [...]
   
  
 0.675
lin-15B
Protein lin-15B; Synthetic multivulva (synMuv) class B protein. SynMuv proteins are required to repress the induction of vulval development. Acts redundantly with SynMuv class A protein lin-15A to negatively regulate vulval development. Regulates let-23 basal activity.
      
 0.660
lir-2
LIR-2A protein.
 
 
  
0.615
hmg-1.2
High mobility group protein 1.2.
   
   0.604
