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

ZK1067.2
NFX1-type zinc finger-containing protein 1 homolog; Epigenetic inheritance factor which, in association with the Argonaute protein wago-4, mediates small RNA-directed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and thus balances the transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic information. Specifically, maintains a balanced production of small RNAs by preventing the spread of epigenetic signals towards the 5'-end of target mRNAs. Plays a role in small RNA- induced gene silencing in the germline.

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 [...]

wago-1
Argonaute protein wago-1; Argonaute protein which is involved in the endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. Interacts with secondary 22G- RNAs, which are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-derived endo-siRNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length with a 5'guanosine residue. In the germline, functions in a genome surveillance system to silence transposons and aberrant transcripts.

wago-4
Argonaute protein wago-4; Argonaute protein which is involved in the endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway and is required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) in the germline. Interacts with secondary 22G-RNAs, which are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-derived endo-siRNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length with a 5'guanosine residue. Also interacts with the mRNA targets of 22G-RNAs. Associates with znfx-1 to mediate small RNA-directed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of both germline- and soma-expressed genes. Belongs to the argonaute family. WAGO subfamily.
