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

par-1Serine/threonine-protein kinase par-1; Required for cytoplasmic partitioning and asymmetric cell division in early embryogenesis. Phosphorylates and restricts the asymmetry effector mex-5 (and possibly also mex-6) to the anterior cytoplasm of the zygote. Regulates mes-1 expression during early embryogenesis. Critical role in postembryonic vulval morphogenesis. Involved in the establishment of neuronal polarity. (1216 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
par-3
Partitioning defective protein 3; In cooperation with pkc-3, required for establishing cell polarity and regulating spindle orientation in the early embryo. Localization is crucial for recruiting par-6 and pkc-3 to the peripheral apical cortex and restricting par-2 to basolateral surfaces. Necessary for apicobasal and anterior-posterior asymmetries associated with cell adhesion and gastrulation during the first few cycles of embryogenesis, and also for epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Regulates the asymmetric localization of csnk-1, ppk-1 and gpr-1/2 during the first [...]

mex-5
Zinc finger protein mex-5; Functions with mex-6 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. Binds to mRNA in vitro, and inhibits pgl-3-mediated P-granule formation, probably by competing with pgl-3 for binding to mRNA.
    
 
 0.901
par-6
Partitioning defective protein 6; Necessary for apicobasal and anterior-posterior asymmetries associated with cell adhesion and gastrulation during the first few cell cycles of embryogenesis. Required for localizing/ maintaining par-3 at the cell periphery. Regulates mes-1 expression and/or localization pattern during early embryogenesis. Acts together with par-3 and pkc-3 in maintaining epithelial cell polarity in the distal spermatheca. Plays a role in endosome and Golgi body positioning. Belongs to the PAR6 family.

mex-6
Zinc finger protein mex-6; Functions with mex-5 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells.

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 [...]

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.
