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

sek-4Protein kinase domain-containing protein. (364 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
aars-1
Alanine--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two- step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain. Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

pmk-3
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-3; Responds to activation by environmental stress and pro- inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Involved in axon regeneration after injury, probably downstream of dlk-1 and mkk-4 and upstream of mak-2. May phosphorylate mak-2. Plays a role in cilium length regulation, possibly by reducing rab-5 mediated endocytosis. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.

pmk-2
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-2; Responds to activation by environmental stress and pro- inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets.
  
0.783
pmk-1
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-1; Serine/threonine kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Phosphorylates snk-1 which probably regulates skn-1 nuclear translocation in response to oxidative stress. Probably by activating skn-1, involved in the up- regulation of gcs-1 and glutathione-S-transferase gst-4 expression upon bacteria infection. Up-regulates expression of gcs-1 in intestinal cells upon arsenite treatment. Functions downstream of the MAPKK sek-1 and the MAPKKK nsy-1 as the MAP kinase [...]

kgb-1
GLH-binding kinase 1; Mitogen-activated protein kinase which is an essential component of the JNK pathway composed of mlk-1, mek-1 and kgb-1. Phosphorylates the transcription factor fos-1 which prevents fos-1 dimerization and promoter binding and results in activation of target genes including F53A9.2/kreg-1 and lys-3/kreg-2. Phosphorylates jun-1 and activates the AP-1 transcription factor which is a heterodimer of jun-1 and fos-1. Phosphorylates glh-1 in vitro which may play a role in controlling glh-1 protein levels in the germline by targeting it for degradation by the proteasome. R [...]

F09C12.2
Mitogen-activated protein kinase; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
  
 
 0.689
mak-1
MAP kinase-activated protein kinase mak-1; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which may play a role in body wall muscle contraction. May phosphorylate unc-22/twitchin. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
  
 0.683
mak-2
MAP kinase-activated protein kinase mak-2; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is involved in maintaining synapse and axon morphology as well as touch neuron axon regeneration after injury by regulating cebp-1 mRNA stability downstream of the dlk-1, mkk-4 and pmk-3 signaling cascade. May play a role in body wall muscle contraction. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.

mpk-2
Mitogen-activated protein kinase; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
  
 
 0.667
sma-5
Mitogen-activated protein kinase sma-5; Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the postembryonic regulation of body size, mainly through control of cell growth. In particular, controls the volume of intestine, muscles and hypodermis. In addition, regulates growth, intestinal granule distribution, lifespan and number of offspring.
