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

ptrn-1Patronin (microtubule-binding protein) homolog; Required for microtubule stability and anchorage by binding to the minus ends of microtubules. Acts redundantly with noca-1 to control circumferential microtubule assembly along the body which is necessary for larval development, viability, morphology and integrity of the epidermis. Promotes microtubule stability and polymerization in neurons. Involved in the maintenance of neurite morphology in ALM and PLM neurons. May play a role in synaptic protein localization in the PLM neuron. May act upstream of dlk-1 in neuronal regeneration. Play [...] (1112 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
noca-1
Non-centrosomal microtubule array protein 1; Plays a role in the assembly of microtubule arrays in the germline acting redundantly with ptrn-1 to control circumferential microtubule assembly along the body which is necessary for larval development, viability, and morphology and integrity of the epidermis. Required for microtubule stability and anchorage by binding to microtubule minus ends. Recruited to hemidesomosomes in early embryonic elongation to direct the nucleation and growth of non-centrosomal microtubules. [Isoform h]: Directs the assembly of non-centrosomal microtubule array [...]

klp-7
Kinesin-like protein; Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family.
   
 
 0.861
gip-1
Gamma-tubulin complex component.
   
  
 0.827
efa-6
Exchange factor for Arf-6; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor for arf-6 (By similarity). Involved in response to injury in mechanosensory neurons. Inhibits axon regrowth via microtubule dynamics, possibly by inducing axonal microtubule catastrophes. Limits microtubule growth near the cellular cortex of early embryonic cells.
      
 0.821
zyg-8
Serine/threonine-protein kinase zyg-8; Plays a role in spindle positioning during asymmetric division of one-cell stage embryos. Affects spindle position by promoting microtubule assembly during anaphase.
   
  
 0.808
ebp-2
Microtubule End Binding Protein.
    
 
 0.752
tbg-1
Tubulin gamma chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle poles or the centrosome, suggesting that it is involved in the minus-end nucleation of microtubule assembly.
      
 0.742
spas-1
Probable spastin homolog spas-1; Severs microtubules, probably in an ATP-dependent fashion. Belongs to the AAA ATPase family. Spastin subfamily.
   
  
 0.730
ptl-1
Microtubule-associated protein.
   
  
 0.717
mec-17
Alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase 1; Specifically acetylates 'Lys-40' in alpha-tubulin/mec-12 on the lumenal side of microtubules. Promotes microtubule destabilization and accelerates microtubule dynamics; this activity may be independent of acetylation activity. Acetylates alpha-tubulin with a slow enzymatic rate, due to a catalytic site that is not optimized for acetyl transfer. Enters the microtubule through each end and diffuses quickly throughout the lumen of microtubules. Acetylates only long/old microtubules because of its slow acetylation rate since it does not have time to act [...]
