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

rgef-1Rap Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factor homolog. (654 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rap-1
Ras-related protein Rap-1; Required in the hypodermis for proper formation of the cuticle; Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
    
 0.947
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.
    
 0.921
sem-5
Sex muscle abnormal protein 5; Adapter protein which modulates signaling mediated by several receptor tyrosine kinases such as egl-15 and let-23 probably acting upstream of let-60/ras. Negatively regulates vulva induction probably downstream of let-23. Involved in sex myoblast migration. Negatively regulates fluid homeostasis probably downstream of egl-15. During the formation of neuromuscular junctions at the larval stage, negatively regulates membrane protrusion from body wall muscles probably downstream of egl- 15. Involved in cytoskeleton dynamics and is recruited by mig-13 to the [...]
   
 
 0.849
myo-3
Myosin-3; Essential for muscle contraction. Involved in ovulation likely by regulating the contraction of gonadal myoepithelial sheath cells. Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
    
 
 0.803
ges-1
Gut esterase 1; Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
      
 0.690
rap-3
RAP homolog (Vertebrate Rap GTPase family).
    
 
 0.681
rab-3
Ras-related protein Rab-3; Involved in exocytosis by regulating a late step in synaptic vesicle fusion. Could play a role in neurotransmitter release by regulating membrane flow in the nerve terminal (By similarity). Plays a role in the recruitment of endophilin unc-57 to synaptic vesicles. Probably by controlling dense-core vesicle trafficking, plays a role in the AVG neuron-mediated formation of the right axon tract of the ventral nerve cord. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
   
 
 0.657
unc-54
Myosin-4; Required for muscle contraction. Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
    
 
 0.644
unc-119
Protein unc-119; Myristoyl-binding protein that acts as a cargo adapter: specifically binds the myristoyl moiety of a subset of N-terminally myristoylated proteins and is required for their localization. Plays a key role in ciliary membrane localization of proteins. Required for the establishment or function of the nervous system.
      
 0.628
sur-6
Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit sur-6; Probable regulatory subunit of serine/threonine phosphatase let-92. Together with let-92 and constant regulatory subunit paa-1, positively regulates centriole duplication during early embryonic cell divisions by preventing the degradation of sas-5 and kinase zyg-1. In addition, during vulva development, may play a role with phosphatase let-92 and regulatory subunit paa-1 in the induction of vulva cell precursors by positively regulating let-60/Ras- MAP kinase signaling, probably by promoting lin-45 activation. In intesti [...]
