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

mes-4
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase mes-4; Histone methyltransferase. Dimethylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in early development and is responsible for all H3 'Lys- 36' dimethylation until about the 40-cell stage. Indirectly involved in the global inactivation of the X chromosomes in germline cells, possibly by excluding the mes-2-mes-3-mes-6 repressive Polycomb complex from the autosomes. Not related to transcription elongation. Required for small-RNA-induced H3K27 trimethylation. May suppress sensitivity to [...]

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.

cec-10
C.Elegans Chromodomain protein.
   
  
 0.666
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.

lin-53
Probable histone-binding protein lin-53; Core histone-binding subunit that may target chromatin assembly factors, chromatin remodeling factors and histone deacetylases to their histone substrates in a manner that is regulated by nucleosomal DNA (By similarity). Required for hcp-3 and his-1 stabilization, localization of hcp-3 to centromeres and for proper chromosome segregation. Synthetic multivulva class B (synMuvB) protein. SynMuvB proteins are required to repress the induction of vulval development by Ras signaling and probably act by forming the multiprotein DRM complex that repres [...]
