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

ima-2Importin subunit alpha-2; Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Promotes docking of import substrates to the nuclear envelope. Seems to act as a cytosolic receptor for both simple and bipartite NLS motifs (By similarity). (531 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
imb-1
Importin N-terminal domain-containing protein.

npp-9
Nuclear Pore complex Protein.

ran-3
Regulator of chromosome condensation; Key component of the Ran GTPase system, which comprises ran- 1, ran-2 and ran-3 and is essential in nucleocytoplasmic transport. Promotes the exchange of Ran-bound GDP by GTP and regulates the onset of chromosome condensation in the S phase. Binds to the chromatin. RCC1 (ran-3)/RAN (ran-1) complex (together with other proteins) acts as a component of a signal transmission pathway that detects unreplicated DNA.

xpo-2
Importin N-terminal domain-containing protein.

akir-1
Akirin homolog; Plays a role in antifungal innate immunity. Forms a complex with components of the NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase) and MEC chromatin remodeling complexes which binds to the promoters of antimicrobial peptide genes and may recruit other proteins such as ceh-18 to control gene expression in response to fungal infection. During meiotic prophase I, plays a role in the disassembly of synaptonemal complex proteins and in the regulation of chromosome condensation and segregation. Not required for chromosome pairing or recombination during meiosis ; Belongs to the [...]

ran-1
GTP-binding nuclear protein ran-1; Ran GTPase system comprises ran-1, ran-2 and ran-3 and is essential in nucleocytoplasmic transport. Ran-1 is a GTP-binding protein that mediates the interaction between mitotic chromosomes and kinetochore microtubules. Plays a crucial role in nuclear envelope assembly at the end of each cell division. Required for the import of protein into the nucleus and also for RNA export. RCC1 (ran-3)/Ran (ran-1) complex (together with other proteins) acts as a component of a signal transmission pathway that detects unreplicated DNA.

ncbp-2
Nuclear cap-binding protein subunit 2; Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds co- transcriptionally to the 5' cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). The CBC complex is involved in miRNA-mediated RNA interference and is required for primary microRNAs (miRNAs) processing. In the CBC complex, ncbp-2 recognizes and binds capped RNAs (m7GpppG-capped RNA) but requires ncbp-1 to stabilize the movement of its N-terminal loop and lock the CBC into a high affinity cap-binding state with the cap stru [...]

ncbp-1
Nuclear cap-binding protein subunit 1; Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds cotranscriptionally to the 5'-cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing and RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi). The CBC complex is involved in miRNA-mediated RNA interference and is required for primary microRNAs (miRNAs) processing. In the CBC complex, ncbp-1 does not bind directly capped RNAs (m7GpppG- capped RNA) but is required to stabilize the movement of the N-terminal loop of ncbp-2 and lock the CBC into a high affinity cap-binding state with the c [...]

ulp-1
Sentrin-specific protease; Protease that deconjugates smo-1 from targeted proteins and may catalyze the processing of smo-1 to its mature form.
