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

mcu-1Calcium uniporter protein, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondria. Constitutes a pore- forming and calcium-conducting subunit (By similarity). Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates cell bioenergetics, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways (By similarity). Required for rapid mitochondrial calcium uptake and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production after wounding. (333 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
micu-1
Calcium uptake protein 1 homolog, mitochondrial; Key regulator of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU).
    
 0.999
emre-1
Essential MCU regulator, mitochondrial; Essential regulatory subunit of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (mcu-1) channel, a protein that mediates calcium uptake into mitochondria; Belongs to the SMDT1/EMRE family.
    
 0.998
C56A3.6
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 0.955
itr-1
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1; Receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, a second messenger that regulates intracellular calcium homeostasis. Binds in vitro to both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-InsP3) and inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate (2,4,5-InsP3) with high affinity and does not discriminate between the phosphate at 1 or 2 position. Can also bind inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (1,3,4,5-InsP4) and inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (4,5-InsP2), but with lower affinity. Acts as a timekeeper/rhythm generator via calcium signaling, affecting the defecation cycle and pharyn [...]

gtl-2
Gon-Two Like (TRP subfamily).
      
 0.691
phb-2
Mitochondrial prohibitin complex protein 2; PHB proteins are essential during embryonic development and are required for somatic and germline differentiation in the larval gonad. A deficiency in PHB proteins results in altered mitochondrial biogenesis in body wall muscle cells.
   
 
 0.688
lgc-52
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
      
 0.660
miro-1
Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1; Mitochondrial GTPase involved in mitochondrial trafficking. Probably involved in control of anterograde transport of mitochondria and their subcellular distribution.
   
 
 0.643
vdac-1
Probable voltage-dependent anion-selective channel; Forms a channel through the cell membrane that allows diffusion of small hydrophilic molecules.
      
 0.613
