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

ksr-2Kinase suppressor of Ras B; Probable inactive protein kinase which positively regulates Ras-mediated signaling probably acting at the level of let-60/ras or/and lin-45/raf. In the germline, regulates meiotic progression during oogenesis and mpk-1 (isoform b) phosphorylation. Plays a role in meiotic recombination events. Functions redundantly with ksr-1 in the Ras-mediated regulation of larval survival, the development of excretory canal, in determining vulval precursor cell fate during vulval induction and in mpk-1 phosphorylation in somatic cells. (550 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mek-2
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase mek-2; Functions in the let-60 Ras signaling pathway; acts downstream of lin-45 raf kinase, but before the sur-1/mpk-1 gene product in controlling vulval cell differentiation. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum- mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Involved in fluid homeostasis. Positively regulates lifespan upstream of mpk-1.

E02D9.1
Protein kinase domain-containing protein; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.
  
 0.913
mpk-1
Mitogen-activated protein kinase mpk-1; Function in let-60 Ras signaling pathway; acts downstream of lin-45 raf kinase, but before the lin-1 gene product in controlling vulval cell differentiation. Plays a negative role in proximal germline proliferation in the mitotic zone. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. In oocytes, inhibits the activity of the chloride channel clh-3, likely by activating gck-3. Plays a role in response to M.nematophilum-mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Involved in fluid h [...]

lin-45
Raf homolog serine/threonine-protein kinase; Protein kinase that participates in the induction of vulva and has roles in fertility and viability. Acts downstream of the Ras protein let-60. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum- mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Positively regulates lifespan upstream of mek-2 and mpk-1. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
   
0.823
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.
   
 0.799
ndk-1
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Belongs to the NDK family.
    
 
 0.764
ftt-2
14-3-3-like protein 2; Required for extension of life-span by sir-2.1. Promotes nuclear export of yap-1. Negatively regulates the transcriptional activity of daf-16 by sequestering it to the cytoplasm. Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.
   
 0.750
par-5
14-3-3-like protein 1.
   
 0.750
M117.3
14_3_3 domain-containing protein.
   
 0.750
rap-1
Ras-related protein Rap-1; Required in the hypodermis for proper formation of the cuticle; Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
