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

cec-4Chromo domain-containing protein cec-4; Chromatin anchor protein which binds to methylated lysine residues on histone H3, thereby recruiting heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery. May be required for the correct positioning of chromatin and nucleoli in embryos. (270 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
set-25
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase set-25; Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 using mono- and dimethylated H3 'Lys-9' as substrate. Acts redundantly with the methyltransferase met-2 to position chromosome arms at the nuclear lamina. Required for small-RNA-induced H3K9 methylation. Together with met-2, protects and stabilizes repeat-rich genomic regions by suppressing transcription- induced replication stress through methylation of H3K9.
   
 
 0.919
hpl-2
Chromo domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.822
lem-2
LEM protein 2; Essential protein involved in chromosome segregation and cell division, probably via its interaction with lmn-1, the main component of nuclear lamina. Has some overlapping function with emr-1. May play a role in radiation-induced DNA damage repair response.
   
 
 0.819
hpl-1
Heterochromatin protein 1 homolog.
   
  
 0.806
lin-61
Protein lin-61; Synthetic multivulva class B (synMuvB) protein required to repress the induction of vulval development by Ras signaling. Unlike other synMuv proteins it does not associate with the multiprotein DRM complex and the NuRD-like complex. Interaction with methylated histone H3 is essential for vulva development. It has a role in maintaining genome stability.
   
 
 0.788
cec-3
Chromo domain-containing protein cec-3; Specifically recognizes and binds methylated 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me), with highest preference for trimethylated 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) followed by dimethylated 'Lys-9' (H3K9me2) followed by monomethylated 'Lys-9' (H3K9me1). Plays a role in maintaining correct unc-4 expression in the VC motor neurons where unc- 4 is expressed in the vulval but not in the non-vulval VC neurons.
   
  
 0.757
madf-9
MADF domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.707
set-32
SET domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.664
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.
   
 
 0.661
atf-8
BZIP domain-containing protein.
