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

acr-5Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type acr-5; Possible acetylcholine receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. (598 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ggr-2
GABA/Glycine Receptor family (See gbr); Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.

lmn-1
Lamin-1; Major component of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane. Provides a framework for the nuclear envelope and probably also interacts with chromatin. Essential to maintain the shape and integrity of the nucleus, and for DNA replication. Involved in spatial organization of nuclear pore complexes. It is not a target for ced-3 during apoptosis, suggesting that lamin cleavage is not essential for apoptosis in C.elegans. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
      
 0.678
acr-21
AcetylCholine Receptor.
  
 
0.636
srxa-5
Serpentine Receptor, class XA.
      
 0.611
acc-3
Acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit acc-3; Probable acetylcholine-gated chloride channel regulatory subunit. Does not have ion channel activity alone as a homopentamer, but forms a functional heteropentameric ion channel with acc-1. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.601
lgc-46
Probable ligand-gated ion channel 46; Probable component of a ligand-gated anion channel. Negatively regulates synaptic transmission and synaptic vesicle release in response to acetylcholine in cholinergic motor neurons. Role in synaptic vesicle release kinetics may be in association with the ligand-gated ion channel protein acc-4.
  
  
 0.578
acc-4
Acetylcholine-gated ion channel acc-4; Probable acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit. Does not have ion channel activity alone as a homopentamer, but forms a functional heteropentameric ion channel with acc-1. May function with lgc-46 to regulate synaptic transmission and synaptic vesicle release in response to acetylcholine in cholinergic motor neurons.
  
   
 0.573
del-1
Degenerin del-1; Probable sodium channel subunit; Belongs to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family.
      
 0.568
unc-4
Homeobox protein unc-4; Transcription factor that regulates synaptic specificity. Determines the pattern of synaptic input to VA motor neurons. Acts together with unc-37 by repressing the expression of VB-specific genes such as ceh-12, thereby preventing the adoption of VB motor neurons. Has no role in axonal guidance or outgrowth. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Unc-4 subfamily.
      
 0.549
ggr-3
GABA/Glycine Receptor family (See gbr); Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
