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

twf-2TWinFilin actin binding protein homolog. (333 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
cap-2
F-actin-capping protein subunit beta; F-actin-capping proteins bind in a Ca(2+)-independent manner to the fast growing ends of actin filaments (barbed end) thereby blocking the exchange of subunits at these ends. Unlike other capping proteins (such as gelsolin and severin), these proteins do not sever actin filaments.
   
 
 0.955
act-5
ACTin.
   
 
 0.920
unc-60
Actin-depolymerizing factor 2, isoform c; Depolymerizes growing actin filaments in muscle cells; required for the assembly of actin filaments into the functional contractile myofilament lattice of muscle. Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family.
    
 
 0.919
swd-2.2
WD_REPEATS_REGION domain-containing protein.
 
      0.899
swd-2.1
WD_REPEATS_REGION domain-containing protein.
 
      0.871
cas-2
Adenylyl cyclase-associated protein; Belongs to the CAP family.
    
 
 0.870
cap-1
F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha; F-actin-capping proteins bind in a Ca(2+)-independent manner to the fast growing ends of actin filaments (barbed end) thereby blocking the exchange of subunits at these ends. Unlike other capping proteins (such as gelsolin and severin), these proteins do not sever actin filaments.
   
 
 0.864
pfn-3
Profilin-3; Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Also binds to poly(L-proline) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate micelles.
   
 
 0.859
cas-1
Adenylyl cyclase-associated protein; Belongs to the CAP family.
   
 
 0.845
gsnl-1
Gelsolin-like protein 1; Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). Binds actin but does not nucleate actin polymerization, albeit slows down elongation by blocking the barbed ends. By promoting actin depolymerization, required for the elimination of presynaptic components downstream of the egl-1, ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic pathway during larval development. Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family.
