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

vrk-1Serine/threonine-protein kinase VRK1; Serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates baf-1, thus regulating the association of baf-1 with chromatin and nuclear membrane proteins during nuclear envelope formation. May act through the egl-17 signaling pathway. Essential in hermaphrodites for formation of the vulva, uterus, and uterine seam cells and for development and maintenance of the somatic gonad and thus the germ line. Acts to prevent cep-1 from triggering an inappropriate cell cycle arrest, thereby promoting germ cell proliferation. Regulates anchor cell polarity and the timing of an [...] (610 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lem-4
Ankyrin repeat and LEM domain-containing protein 2 homolog; Involved in mitotic nuclear envelope reassembly by promoting dephosphorylation of baf-1 during mitotic exit. Coordinates the control of baf-1 dephosphorylation by inhibiting VRK1 kinase and promoting dephosphorylation of baf-1 by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby facilitating nuclear envelope assembly. It is unclear whether it acts as a real PP2A regulatory subunit or whether it is involved in recruitment of the PP2A complex.

baf-1
Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1; DNA-binding protein which plays an essential role in nuclear envelope formation. Required for normal chromosome segregation during mitosis. Associates with the nuclear lamina via its interaction with LEM domain containing proteins emr-1 and lem-2. In association with lem-3, plays a role in radiation-induced DNA damage repair response. Belongs to the BAF family.

tsen-2
tRNA_int_endo domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.732
rho-1
Ras-like GTP-binding protein rhoA; Required for ventral migration of epidermal cells during ventral enclosure in the embryo and for cell elongation. Also required for ventral migration of P cells during larval development. Involved in asymmetric spindle positioning during anaphase and establishment of cell polarity during embryo development. In adults, involved in regulation of multiple processes including locomotion, pharyngeal pumping, fecundity, ovulation, defecation and body morphology. In body wall muscles, regulates organization of myosin thick filaments downstream of unc-89. Ass [...]

lmn-1
Lamin-1; Major component of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane. Provides a framework for the nuclear envelope and probably also interacts with chromatin. Essential to maintain the shape and integrity of the nucleus, and for DNA replication. Involved in spatial organization of nuclear pore complexes. It is not a target for ced-3 during apoptosis, suggesting that lamin cleavage is not essential for apoptosis in C.elegans. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.661
cdk-1
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1; Plays a key role in the control of the eukaryotic cell cycle. It is required in higher cells for entry into S-phase and mitosis. p34 is a component of the kinase complex that phosphorylates the repetitive C-terminus of RNA polymerase II (By similarity).
   
 
 0.611
spr-2
Suppressor of presenilin-2; Potential corepressor protein, which may affect chromatin structure and/or transcription. May participate in the transcriptional repression of the presenilin protein hop-1. Belongs to the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family.
