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

sas-5Spindle assembly abnormal protein 5; Required for centrosome duplication. Essential for daughter- centriole formation. Requires both maternal and partenal expression, suggesting that it regulates centriole duplication during both spermatogenesis and early embryogenesis. (404 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sas-6
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6; Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry. Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication.
   
 
 0.997
sas-4
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 4; Required for centrosome duplication. Plays a central role in determining centrosome size.
   
 
 0.991
zyg-1
Probable serine/threonine-protein kinase zyg-1; Protein kinase that plays a central role in centrosome duplication, control of centrosome size, spindle formation and nuclear envelope breakdown during cell divisions. Paternal copy is required to regulate synthesis of daughter centrioles prior to fertilization. Maternal copy regulates centrosome duplication during later cell cycles. Functions upstream of sas-5 and sas-6, and is required for their localization to the centrosome. Its role in nuclear envelope breakdown is mediated by the spindly-like protein spdl-1 and the RZZ complex, whic [...]
   
  
 0.989
spd-2
Spindle-defective protein 2; Required both for centrosome duplication and maturation. Required for pericentriolar material (PCM) recruitment.
   
  
 0.932
sas-7
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.854
spd-5
Spindle-defective protein 5; Plays a central role in centrosome maturation and mitotic spindle assembly during the first division of the zygote. Required for the centrosomal localization of air-1 and zyg-9. Probably not required in late embryogenesis and during larval development.
   
  
 0.817
plk-1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase plk-1; Required for oocyte nuclear envelope breakdown before entry of oocyte into spermatheca. In meiotic cells, required for spindle dynamics and probably for spindle attachment to the chromosomes. Zygotic role in the development of the germline and nerve cord. In mitotic cells, plays a role in spindle organization and centrosome maturation. Involved in asymmetric nuclear localization of cdc- 25.1 during embryogenesis which affects cell division timing. Together with plk- 2, regulates cytoplasm polarity in early embryos. May play a minor role in chromos [...]

szy-20
Suppressor of zyg-1 protein 20; RNA binding protein that is required for normal cell division and cytokinesis during embryonic development. Functions with RNA-binding protein atx-2 to ensure embryonic cell division, and to this end, plays a role in the regulation of centrosome assembly, position and size, and in astral microtubule outgrowth and nucleation. Furthermore, negatively regulates the levels of the protein kinase zyg-1 at the centrosome. Also involved in ensuring centrosome attachment to the nuclear envelope.
   
  
 0.748
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).
   
  
 0.692
dlc-2
Probable dynein light chain 2, cytoplasmic; Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of a dynein complex; Belongs to the dynein light chain family.
