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

syd-2Liprin-alpha; May play a role in regulating the structure of the neuronal region, called the active zone, from which synaptic vesicles send neurotransmitter signals across the synapse. This may be in association with the liprin-beta protein hlb-1 ; Belongs to the liprin family. Liprin-alpha subfamily. (1139 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-10
Rab-3-interacting molecule unc-10; Regulates the efficiency of a post-docking step of the release pathway. Acts after vesicle docking likely via regulating priming. May regulate the conformational changes in syntaxin. Binding of vesicles via rab-3[GTP] to Rim may signal the presence of a docked synaptic vesicle. Rim may then signal to unc-13 to change the conformation of syntaxin from the closed to the open state. Syntaxin could then engage synaptobrevin on the docked vesicle to form SNARE complexes and to prime the vesicle for release. Not required for the development or the structura [...]
   
 0.994
rimb-1
RIM Binding protein.
   
 
 0.992
git-1
GIT1 (Mammalian G protein-coupled receptor kinase InTeractor 1) homolog.
   
 
 0.987
rab-3
Ras-related protein Rab-3; Involved in exocytosis by regulating a late step in synaptic vesicle fusion. Could play a role in neurotransmitter release by regulating membrane flow in the nerve terminal (By similarity). Plays a role in the recruitment of endophilin unc-57 to synaptic vesicles. Probably by controlling dense-core vesicle trafficking, plays a role in the AVG neuron-mediated formation of the right axon tract of the ventral nerve cord. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
   
 
 0.983
elks-1
Mammalian ELKS/CAST/ERC/Rab6 interacting protein homolog.
   
 
 0.982
unc-13
Phorbol ester/diacylglycerol-binding protein unc-13; May form part of a signal transduction pathway, transducing the signal from diacylglycerol to effector functions. One such function could be the release of neurotransmitter from neurons. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission downstream of lin-3 and receptor lin-23 and phospholipase plc-3 and upstream of innexin unc-7 and egl-4/PKG in ALA neurons, involved in the decrease in pharyngeal pumping during the quiescent state that precedes each larval molt.
   
 0.981
hlb-1
Liprin-beta homolog; Involved in the regulation of synaptic function at neuromuscular junctions. Together with the liprin- alpha protein syd-2, may play a role in regulating the structure of the neuronal region, called the active zone, from which synaptic vesicles send neurotransmitter signals across the synapse. Does not seem to be required for neuronal development. May regulate the disassembly of focal adhesions (By similarity). Does not bind receptor-like tyrosine phosphatases type 2A (By similarity); Belongs to the liprin family. Liprin-beta subfamily.
   
 
0.966
rsy-1
Regulator of SYnapse formation.
    
 
 0.949
syd-1
Rho GTPase-activating protein syd-1; Probable GTPase activator for the Rho-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state. Regulates the localization and assembly of presynaptic components during presynaptic development and is required for specifying the identity of axons during initial polarity acquisition. In these roles it is thought to act cell autonomously downstream of syg-1 and syg-2 and upstream of syd-2, possibly as a positive regulator of the latter. Required for the control of movement, egg-laying and the correct localization of elks-1.
   
 
 0.942
lin-2
Protein lin-2; May play a structural role in the induction of the vulva. May be required for the localization of signal transduction molecules (such as let-23 receptor) to either the basal membrane domain or the cell junctions.
