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-55Nuclear hormone receptor unc-55; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Required for ventral D (VD) motor neurons to adopt their normal synaptic pattern. Suppresses expression of flp-13 in VD motor neurons to ensure formation of the correct synaptic pattern. Maintains low cAMP levels in VD motor neurons by enhancing expression of pde-4 which hydrolyzes cAMP and repressing expression of acy-1 which catalyzes cAMP formation. This prevents respecification of synapses by VD neurons. During copulation, required in males for correct movement of the spicules, a pair of prong-like structures whi [...] (370 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
irx-1
Putative iroquois-class homeodomain protein irx-1.
      
 0.854
unc-30
Homeobox protein unc-30; Transcriptional regulator within D-type neurons that controls terminal differentiation. Required for the development and function of the 19 inhibitory GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric-acid- secreting) D-type motor neurons, which control locomotion. Plays a role in regulating synapse formation in dorsal D (DD) and ventral D (VD) GABAergic motor neurons, possibly in part by regulating the expression of the neural regulator oig-1. Also required for expression of flp-13 in DD motor neurons. Plays a role in respecification of DD motor neurons through regulation of gene [...]
      
 0.832
oig-1
Immunoglobulin domain-containing protein oig-1; Plays a role in neural development, where it temporally regulates synapse formation in the D-type inhibitory GABAergic motor neurons, dorsal D (DD) and ventral D (VD) motor neurons. Controls the translocation of postsynaptic proteins, such as the acetylcholine receptor subunit acr- 12, and presynaptic proteins, such as snb-1, along nerve cords to prevent premature synapse remodeling/formation.
      
 0.801
mab-9
T-box protein 12; Involved in cell fate determination; required to pattern the posterior hindgut.
      
 0.753
gei-8
Nuclear receptor corepressor 1; Mediates transcriptional repression by certain nuclear receptors. Plays a role in development and neuronal function. May play a role in muscle-specific oxidative mitochondrial metabolism.
    
 0.657
unc-4
Homeobox protein unc-4; Transcription factor that regulates synaptic specificity. Determines the pattern of synaptic input to VA motor neurons. Acts together with unc-37 by repressing the expression of VB-specific genes such as ceh-12, thereby preventing the adoption of VB motor neurons. Has no role in axonal guidance or outgrowth. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Unc-4 subfamily.
      
 0.618
unc-3
Transcription factor unc-3; May play a role in the expression of proteins essential for axonal pathfinding and/or neuronal differentiation in both sensory and motor neurons. Cooperates with jmjd-3.1 and wdr-5.1 to ensure robust transdifferentiation of the Y rectal cell to the PDA motor neuron during larval development.
      
 0.574
rpc-1
DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit; DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.
   
  
 0.566
pax-3
PAX (Paired box) transcription factor.
    
 
 0.562
unc-8
Degenerin unc-8.
