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

zag-1Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox protein zag-1; Down-regulates expression of genes involved in either the synthesis or reuptake of serotonin, dopamine and GABA. Acts as a transcriptional repressor to regulate multiple, discrete, neuron- specific aspects of terminal differentiation, including cell migration, axonal development and gene expression. Required for axon guidance. Involved in the proper development of the pharynx. Directly represses its own transcription by interacting with conserved E-box sequence motifs 5'-CACCTG-3' in its own promoter. (596 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ctbp-1
C-terminal-binding protein 1; Binds DNA and represses gene expression. Plays a role in regulation of life span, possibly by regulating transcription of genes important for lipid metabolism.
   
 
 0.768
ahr-1
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor protein 1; Probable ligand-activated transcriptional activator. Acts as a transcriptional regulator in GABAergic motor neuron cell fate specification and development. Promotes cell-type-specific expression of guanylate cyclase genes that have key roles in aggregation behavior and hyperoxia avoidance. Has no role in carbon dioxide avoidance.
   
  
 0.762
egl-44
Transcription enhancer factor-like protein egl-44; Acts upstream of egl-46 to prevent touch cell differentiation in FLP neurons. Also promotes HSN neuron development. In association with egl-46, regulates cell cycle exit in the neuronal Q cell lineage. May be involved in thermal stress response downstream of yap-1.
   
 
 0.753
ceh-28
NK-2 family homeodomain protein CEH-28.
    
 
 0.729
C34F6.9
USP domain-containing protein; Belongs to the peptidase C19 family.
   
 
 0.668
egl-46
C2H2-type domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.655
mef-2
MADS-box domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.599
hpo-30
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.568
unc-130
Fork-head domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.563
unc-86
Transcription factor unc-86; Transcription factor required for correct cell fate determination and differentiation in diverse neuronal cell lineages where it plays a role in specifying the fate of daughter cells during cell divisions. Involved in sensory neuron production and function. Binds both alone and with mec-3 to the mec-3 promoter to initiate and maintain mec-3 expression which is required for sensory neuron differentiation. In addition, binds both alone and with mec-3 to the promoters of mec-4 and mec-7 which act to regulate sensory neuron function. Involved in determining the [...]
