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

egl-17EGL-17; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. (216 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
egl-15
Myoblast growth factor receptor egl-15; Receptor tyrosine kinase required for larval development. May phosphorylate adapter protein soc-1 which in turn may result in the recruitment and/or activation of phosphatase ptp-2. May activate the Ras/MAPK kinase signaling pathway which includes sem-5, sos-1, let-60/Ras, lin-45/Raf, mek-2 and mpk-1. Acts in the hypodermis to regulate axon growth and fluid homeostasis. Activates protein degradation in muscles. Probably following interaction with ligand let-756, regulates negatively membrane protrusion from body wall muscles during larval develop [...]
   
 
 0.982
let-756
Protein let-756; Required for larval development. Probably by binding receptor egl-15, regulates negatively membrane protrusion from body wall muscles during larval development.
      
 0.951
igcm-4
ImmunoGlobulin-like Cell adhesion Molecule family.
   
 0.891
lin-3
Protein lin-3; Probable ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor let-23. Essential for vulval induction, where it acts downstream of the synthetic multivulva (synMuv) class genes. Probably by activating let-23, phospholipase plc-3 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1 signaling cascade, plays a role in ovulation by promoting gonadal sheath cell contractions and spermatheca dilatation during ovulation. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission in ALA neurons, mediates the decrease in pharyngeal pumping and locomotion during the quiescent state that precedes each larval molt, by [...]
      
 0.850
let-23
Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase let-23; Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor which, upon binding ligand lin-3, activates 2 signaling cascades: the let-60/Ras and MAP kinase signaling pathway and the let-60-independent phospholipase C-mediated Ca(2+) signaling pathway. Each pathway regulates distinct functions. By activating let-60/Ras, regulates larval development, induction of vulva cell precursors during vulva development, male spicule formation and posterior development of the epidermis. Probably by activating phospholipase plc-3 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1 signalin [...]
      
 0.836
let-60
Ras protein let-60; The level of let-60 controls the switch between vulval and hypodermal cell fates during C.elegans vulval induction. May stimulate the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of rap-1. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
   
  
 0.813
klo-2
KLOtho (Mammalian aging-associated protein) homolog; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family.
    
 
 0.795
klo-1
KLOtho (Mammalian aging-associated protein) homolog; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family.
    
 
 0.770
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.
   
 
 0.767
zmp-1
Matrix metalloproteinase-A; Metalloprotease which, together with cadherin cdh-3 and hemicentin him-4, plays a role in anchor cell (AC) invasion during postembryonic vulval development probably by promoting the degradation of the basement membrane separating the gonad from the vulva epithelium.
