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

tbg-1Tubulin gamma chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle poles or the centrosome, suggesting that it is involved in the minus-end nucleation of microtubule assembly. (444 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
gip-1
Gamma-tubulin complex component.
   
 0.999
gip-2
Gamma-tubulin interacting protein 2; Recruited to hemidesomosomes in early embryonic elongation to direct the nucleation and growth of non-centrosomal microtubules.
   
 
 0.912
W03G9.8
Mitotic spindle organiZing protein (MOZART) homolog.
   
 
 0.880
sas-4
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 4; Required for centrosome duplication. Plays a central role in determining centrosome size.
   
 
 0.877
spd-5
Spindle-defective protein 5; Plays a central role in centrosome maturation and mitotic spindle assembly during the first division of the zygote. Required for the centrosomal localization of air-1 and zyg-9. Probably not required in late embryogenesis and during larval development.
   
 
 0.849
zyg-9
Zygote defective protein 9; Plays a major role in organizing microtubules and spindle poles during mitosis and meiosis in one-cell stage embryos. Required for default nucleus positioning in oocytes.
   
 
 0.834
pie-1
Pharynx and intestine in excess protein 1; Maternally provided PIE-1 is required for germline cell fate determination. Functions as a repressor of RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression in the developing germline. Required for expression of nos-2 in P4 germline blastomere cells. Inhibits the histone deacetylase activity of hda-1. Represses transcriptional activation of cdk-9 and cit-1.1, which are members of the P-TEFb complex.
   
  
 0.814
his-48
Probable histone H2B 4; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
    
 
 0.811
mei-1
Meiotic spindle formation protein mei-1; Catalytic subunit of a complex which severs microtubules in an ATP-dependent manner. Microtubule severing may promote rapid reorganization of cellular microtubule arrays. Required specifically for meiotic spindle formation in the female germline; the presence of this protein is inimical to the formation of mitotic spindles. In body wall muscles, regulates organization of myosin thick filaments.
   
 
 0.778
spd-2
Spindle-defective protein 2; Required both for centrosome duplication and maturation. Required for pericentriolar material (PCM) recruitment.
   
  
 0.777
