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

epg-4Ectopic P granules protein 4; Involved in autophagy. Thought to act in autophagasome and omegasome formation. (315 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
epg-3
Ectopic P granules protein 3; Involved in autophagy. Thought to act in autophagasome and omegasome formation.
      
 0.925
epg-5
Ectopic P granules protein 5; Involved in the maturation of autophagosomes into autolysosomes during starvation-induced autotrophy. Specifically, involved in the clearance of apoptotic cells by promoting the delivery of engulfed apoptotic cells to the lysosome.
      
 0.901
epg-2
Ectopic P granules protein 2; Involved in autophagy. Thought to act as an adapter protein that brings PGL granules to autophagic structures containing lgg-1. Association with other adapters such as sepa-1 is required for the accumulation and degradation of germ cell specific P-granules by autophagy in somatic cells. This ensures exclusive localization of the P-granules in germ cells. May also play a role in the removal of sepa-1 from somatic cells.

F37C12.14
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.793
epg-6
Ectopic P granules protein 6; Component of the epg-6/atg-2 complex, which is involved in the generation of autophagosomes from omegasomes and in the distribution of atg-9 and atg-13 during the autophagy-mediated degradation of protein aggregates. Binds to phosphatidylinositols on preautophagosomes, which are early autophagic structures, to promote autophagosome formation. In particular, binds with high affinity to phosphatidylinositols including phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P), but more weakly to phosphatidylinositol 4- ph [...]

F37C12.3
Acyl carrier protein; Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis.
      
 0.699
epg-8
Ectopic P Granules.
   
  
 0.687
atg-13
Autophagy-related protein 13 homolog; Component of the unc-51/atg-13 complex required for autophagosome formation. Required for the degradation of germ cell specific P-granule components such as sepa-1 by autophagy in somatic cells. This ensures exclusive localization of the P-granules in germ cells. May function downstream of the let-363 (Tor) signaling pathway to mediate sepa-1 degradation. Plays a role in survival during limited food availability ; Belongs to the ATG13 family. Metazoan subfamily.
