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

sel-12Presenilin sel-12; Probable catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors (lin-12 or glp-1). Provides the major presenilin function compared to hop-1 and spe-4. Required cell-autonomously for correct neurite connectivity of the AIY cholinergic interneurons and their correct functioning in thermotaxis. Required for mesodermal patterning of muscle function. Promotes basement membrane gap formation during tissue remodeling ; Belongs to the peptidase A22A family. (444 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pen-2
Gamma-secretase subunit pen-2; Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch (glp-1 or lin-12). It may represent a stabilizing cofactor for the presenilin homodimer that promotes the formation of a stable complex. Belongs to the PEN-2 family.

aph-1
Gamma-secretase subunit aph-1; Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral proteins such as Notch receptors (lin-12 or glp-1). It may represent a stabilizing cofactor for the presenilin homodimer that promotes the formation of a stable complex. Required for the localization of aph-2.

aph-2
Nicastrin; Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch (glp-1 or lin-12). It may represents a stabilizing cofactor required for the assembly of the gamma-secretase complex.
   
 0.999
lin-12
Protein lin-12; Involved in several cell fate decisions that require cell- cell interactions. It is possible that lin-12 encodes a membrane-bound receptor for a signal that enables expression of the ventral uterine precursor cell fate. Activity in cell fate decisions and tumorigenesis is negatively regulated by sel-10. Functions in uterine cells to promote basement membrane mobility during tissue remodeling.

hmp-2
Beta-catenin-like protein hmp-2; Required for cell migration during body enclosure and cell shape changes during body elongation. Plays a role in recruitment of the cadherin protein hmr-1 to adherens junctions.
   
 0.947
bar-1
Beta-catenin/armadillo-related protein 1; Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway which affects cell fate and may regulate the stem cell divisions of seam cells during larval development. Functions as a transcriptional activator but is dependent on the interaction with pop-1. Involved in maintaining lin-39 Hox expression and regulating glr-1 abundance at the synapses. Required for mab-5 expression during Q neuroblast migration and for oxidative stress-induced daf-16 signaling. Has roles in egg laying, vulva precursor cell fate determination, Q neuroblast migration, posterior ectoderm [...]
    
 0.944
kin-1
cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit; Essential for larval development. Controls the rhythmic contraction of enteric muscles probably by regulating G- protein coupled receptor aex-2-mediated calcium influx in GABAergic DVB neurons. Plays a role in the control of oocyte meiotic maturation by gonadal sheath cells. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. cAMP subfamily.

spe-4
Presenilin spe-4; Potential catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex during spermatogenesis, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors (lin-12 or glp-1) (Probable). Involved in spermatid formation during meiosis II. May be required for proper localization of macromolecules that are subject to asymmetric partitioning during spermatogenesis.

hop-1
Presenilin hop-1; Probable catalytic subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors (lin-12 or glp-1). Probably works redundantly of lin-12, which provides more presenilin function.

wrm-1
Armadillo repeat-containing protein wrm-1; Antagonistic role in the Wnt signaling pathway that operates in embryogenesis. When located at the cortex it has been shown to inhibit Wnt signaling during asymmetric cell division but when relocated to the nucleus it shows positive regulation. Has a role in blastomere signaling during endoderm specification. Activates lit-1- dependent kinase activity. Wrm-1/lit-1 complex promotes phosphorylation, down-regulation and subcellular relocation of pop-1. Can substitute for bar-1 indicating functional redundancy. Appears to have a role in centrosome [...]
