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

mes-1Protein mes-1; During early embryogenesis, controls asymmetric cell division and the asymmetric localization of P granules of germline precursor P2 and its descendant P3. Probably upstream of tyrosine kinase src-1, plays a role in endoderm development by controlling spindle orientation during EMS blastomere cell division. Controls EMS spindle orientation probably by promoting lin-5 and gpr-1/2 enrichment at, and let-99 exclusion from the junction between P2 and EMS cells. (966 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
src-1
Tyrosine protein-kinase src-1; Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase which plays a role in endoderm development by controlling spindle orientation in EMS blastomere, probably downstream of receptor mes-1. Also involved in embryonic body morphogenesis, especially in the formation of the pharynx and the intestine. May be dispensable for pharyngeal muscle organization in the adult. Probably phosphorylates netrin receptor unc-5, to regulate distal tip cell (DTC) migration during gonad development and in axon repulsion. Plays a role in the migration of the QR neuroblast, a precursor of the A [...]

let-99
Protein let-99; Required for the proper orientation of spindles after the establishment of polarity. May play a role in interactions between the astral microtubules and the cortical cytoskeleton. Required for asymmetric forces on nuclei and spindles. Acts downstream of the PAR signaling as an intermediate that transduces polarity information to the machinery that positions the mitotic spindle, possibly by regulating force generation. Regulates gpr-1/2 asymmetric cortical localization during the first embryonic cell divisions. Acts antagonistically to the gpr-1/2 signaling pathway. Regu [...]

mom-2
Protein mom-2; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Involved in cleavage axis determination. Binds to receptor tyrosine kinase cam-1. Together with wnt ligand lin-44, plays a role in controlling vulva precursor cell P7.p lineage orientation during vulva development, probably by acting as a ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor lin-18. May act redundantly with other Wnt ligands such [...]

K09C6.8
Uncharacterized protein.

mom-5
Protein mom-5; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of gsk-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes (Probable). A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as pkc seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of gsk-3 kinase (Probable). B [...]
   
  
 0.677
gpr-1
G-protein regulator 1; In the 1-cell embryo, probably together with gpr-2, controls nuclear rotation and spindle elongation during mitosis. Complex of gpr-1 and gpr-2, in association with lin- 5, activates G-protein signaling to affect mitotic spindle force. Polarity determinants (par genes) may regulate lin- 5/gpr-1/gpr-2/goa-1 locally to create the asymmetric forces that drive spindle movement.

meg-1
Uncharacterized protein.

lin-5
Spindle apparatus protein lin-5; Essential component of the spindle apparatus required for spindle positioning and chromosome movement. Acts to recruit or anchor gpr-1/gpr-2 complex to the spindle and cortex. Also involved, directly or indirectly, in cytokinesis and in the coupling of DNA replication, centrosome duplication and mitotic division.
   
  
 0.618
glp-1
Protein glp-1; Involved in the specification of the cell fates of the blastomeres, ABa and APa. Proper signaling by glp-1 induces ABa descendants to produce anterior pharyngeal cells, and APa descendants to adopt a different fate. Contributes to the establishment of the dorsal-ventral axis in early embryos. Regulates germ cell mitotic proliferation probably by regulating MAP kinase phosphatase lip-1 expression. Plays a negative role in lifespan.
