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

unc-60-2Actin-depolymerizing factor 1, isoforms a/b; Depolymerizes growing actin filaments in muscle cells; required for the assembly of actin filaments into the functional contractile myofilament lattice of muscle. Competes with unc-87 for actin binding and inhibits the actin-bundling activity of unc-87. (165 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
act-5
ACTin.
   
 
 0.799
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.
   
 
 0.748
cas-1
Adenylyl cyclase-associated protein; Belongs to the CAP family.
   
 
 0.739
cas-2
Adenylyl cyclase-associated protein; Belongs to the CAP family.
   
 
 0.738
arx-1
Actin-related protein 3; Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (By similarity).
   
 
 0.731
dpy-11
Thioredoxin domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.713
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.
   
 
 0.699
lev-11
Tropomyosin isoforms a/b/d/f; Tropomyosin, in association with the troponin complex, plays a central role in the calcium dependent regulation of muscle contraction. Involved in muscle actin filament organization and muscle arm extension and morphology. Protects actin filaments from depolymerization by unc-60 in vitro. Also has a role in male mating behavior by regulating the copulatory spicules. Binds to F-actin.
   
 
 0.698
arx-2
Actin-related protein 2; Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (By similarity).
   
 
 0.691
unc-78
Actin-interacting protein 1; Induces disassembly of actin filaments in conjunction with ADF/cofilin family proteins. Regulator of actin organization in myofibrils.
   
 
 0.682
