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

lim-8LIM domain family. (1099 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lim-9
LIM domain family.

unc-97
LIM domain-containing protein unc-97; Component of an integrin containing attachment complex, which is required for muscle development and maintenance. Probably function in adherens junction. Affects the structural integrity of the integrin containing muscle adherens junctions and contributes to the mechanosensory functions of touch neurons.
      
 0.884
zyx-1
Zyxin; Functions as both a mechanical stabilizer (via LIM domains) of focal adhesions and as a sensor component for muscle cell damage (via N-terminus). Regulates, stabilizes and maintains posterior lateral mechanosensory (PLM) synaptic branch extension and new synapse formation and growth during larval development.
   
 
 0.868
alp-1
ALP/Enigma encoding.
   
 
 0.846
unc-95
LIM domain-containing protein unc-95; Required for the assembly and integrity of muscle dense bodies, which establish the adhesion sites of the muscle cells to the extracellular matrix. Decreased localization of unc-95 to dense bodies and their subsequent dissociation plays an important role in ecdysis during molting. Involved in the organization of the muscle sarcomeric structure and thereby required for locomotion.
   
 
 0.842
unc-96
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.826
uig-1
PH domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.822
scpl-1
CTD small phosphatase-like protein 1; Phosphatase which may play a role in the egg laying muscles.
   
  
 0.810
unc-98
Zinc finger protein unc-98; Probable transcription factor required for muscle structure. Its dual subcellular localization suggests that it may function both as a muscle adhesion complex protein and as a transcription factor, or work together with transcription factors, to influence gene expression. Thought to act as a molecular bridge between unc-97 and myo-3 at the M-line of muscles, possibly in a signaling role. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.
