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

rib-2Exostosin-2 homolog; Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate. Initiates heparan sulfate synthesis by transferring GlcNAc to the (GlcA-Gal-Gal- Xyl-)Ser core linker (GlcNAcT-I activity). In association with rib-1, is also responsible for the alternating addition of beta-1-4-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA) and alpha-1-4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units to nascent heparan sulfate chains (GlcNAcT-II and GlcAT-II activities). Required for normal ventral epidermal enclosure during the early stages of embryonic development. In addition, involved in the elon [...] (814 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hex-4
Glyco_hydro_20 domain-containing protein.

hst-1
Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1; Essential bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the N- deacetylation and the N-sulfation of glucosamine (GlcNAc) of the glycosaminoglycan in heparan sulfate. Modifies the GlcNAc-GlcA disaccharide repeating sugar backbone to make N-sulfated heparosan, a prerequisite substrate for later modifications in heparin biosynthesis (Probable).

fut-8
Alpha-(1,6)-fucosyltransferase; Catalyzes the addition of fucose in alpha 1-6 linkage to the first GlcNAc residue, next to the peptide chains in N-glycans. The addition is prevented if the GlcNAc residue is already fucosylated. Involved in susceptibility to the nematotoxic C.cinerea galectin Cgl2, likely by contributing to the synthesis of core alpha-1,6-fucosylated N-glycans to which Cgl2 binds.
      
 0.852
gly-2
Alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; Catalyzes the addition of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in beta 1-6 linkage to the alpha-linked mannose of biantennary N-linked oligosaccharides; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 18 family.
      
 0.852
chst-1
Carbohydrate sulfotransferase chst-1; Catalyzes the transfer of sulfate to position 4 of non- reducing N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue of chondroitin.
      
 0.850
gly-20
GLYcosylation related.
   
  
 0.848
sqv-8
Galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase sqv-8; Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of the tetrasaccharide (GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-)Ser core linker of heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. May be involved in the biosynthesis of the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on glycoproteins. Required for embryonic development. Involved in the elongation of the pharyngeal isthmus during the later stages of embryonic development. Involved in vulval epithelium invagination.
      
 0.847
hse-5
D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase; Converts D-glucuronic acid residues adjacent to N-sulfate sugar residues to L-iduronic acids (By similarity). Plays a role in the early migration of AQR and PQR neurons, which descend from the Q neuroblasts ; Belongs to the D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase family.
   
  
 0.841
hst-6
Heparan-sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase; 6-O-sulfation enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to position 6 of the N-sulfoglucosamine residue (GlcNS) of heparan sulfate.
