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

unc-4Homeobox protein unc-4; Transcription factor that regulates synaptic specificity. Determines the pattern of synaptic input to VA motor neurons. Acts together with unc-37 by repressing the expression of VB-specific genes such as ceh-12, thereby preventing the adoption of VB motor neurons. Has no role in axonal guidance or outgrowth. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Unc-4 subfamily. (252 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-37
Transcription factor unc-37; Transcriptional corepressor that functions with the neural specificity gene unc-4 to govern motor neuron identity. May function with transcription factor mls-1 to promote uterine muscle specification and formation.

dpy-10
Cuticle collagen dpy-10; 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.
      
 0.850
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.
   
  
 0.749
unc-3
Transcription factor unc-3; May play a role in the expression of proteins essential for axonal pathfinding and/or neuronal differentiation in both sensory and motor neurons. Cooperates with jmjd-3.1 and wdr-5.1 to ensure robust transdifferentiation of the Y rectal cell to the PDA motor neuron during larval development.

mab-9
T-box protein 12; Involved in cell fate determination; required to pattern the posterior hindgut.
   
 
 0.717
unc-52
Basement membrane proteoglycan; Component of an integrin containing attachment complex, which is required for muscle development and maintenance. Probable structural role in myofilament assembly and/or attachment of the myofilament lattice to the cell membrane. May be an extracellular anchor for integrin receptors in body wall muscles and myoepithelial sheath cells. During the formation of neuromuscular junctions at the larval stage, negatively regulates membrane protrusion from body wall muscles, probably downstream of the integrin complex formed by pat-2 and pat-3. Involved in ovulation.

rol-6
Cuticle collagen rol-6; 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. Involved in body morphogenesis.

dpy-5
Cuticle collagen dpy-5; 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.
      
 0.649
unc-55
Nuclear hormone receptor unc-55; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Required for ventral D (VD) motor neurons to adopt their normal synaptic pattern. Suppresses expression of flp-13 in VD motor neurons to ensure formation of the correct synaptic pattern. Maintains low cAMP levels in VD motor neurons by enhancing expression of pde-4 which hydrolyzes cAMP and repressing expression of acy-1 which catalyzes cAMP formation. This prevents respecification of synapses by VD neurons. During copulation, required in males for correct movement of the spicules, a pair of prong-like structures whi [...]
