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

gst-4Glutathione S-transferase 4; Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles (By similarity). May play a role in the detoxification of reactive oxygen species produced during pathogenic bacterial infection. (207 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
skn-1
Protein skinhead-1; Transcription factor required to specify the fate of ventral blastomeres in the early embryo, and postembryonically for the development of the intestine. Directly regulates expression of zygotically expressed med-1 and med-2 to direct mesendoderm development. Required for stl-1 mRNA up- regulation in response to oxidative stress and anoxia. Required for the up-regulation of gcs-1 and several glutathione-S-transferase mRNAs in response to oxidative stress generated during pathogenic bacterial infection. In neurons, involved in mitochondrial fusion and behavioral reco [...]

gcs-1
Glutamate--cysteine ligase; Plays a role in resistance to arsenite. May play a role in the oxidative stress response induced by reactive oxygen species produced during infection by pathogenic bacteria. Together with trxr-1, required for the reduction of disulfide groups in the cuticle during molting.
   
  
 0.918
sod-3
Superoxide dismutase [Mn] 2, mitochondrial; Destroys superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems.
   
  
 0.897
hsp-16.2
Heat shock protein Hsp-16.2; Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
      
 0.892
daf-16
Forkhead box protein O; Forkhead-type transcription factor. Binds to the promoters of genes that contain the daf-16 binding element (DBE), TTGTTTAC, in their regulatory region. Functions in the Insulin/IGF-1-like signaling (IIS) mediated pathway which affects lipogenesis, lifespan, starvation survival, heat shock and oxidative stress responses, and dauer formation. Longevity signaling predominantly arises from expression in the intestine. Daf-16 transcriptional activity is negatively regulated by cytoplasmic sequestration by association with ftt-2. Inhibition is required for the carbon [...]
      
 0.891
gpx-5
Glutathione peroxidase; Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
   
 
 0.838
gpx-7
Glutathione peroxidase; Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
   
 
 0.822
gpx-1
Glutathione peroxidase 1; May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against oxidative stresses.
   
 
 0.816
gpx-2
Glutathione peroxidase 2; May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against oxidative stresses.
   
 
 0.816
ctl-1
Catalase-2; Catalase involved in the oxidative stress response serving to protect cells from toxicity (Probable). For instance plays a role in defending against oxidative damage induced by excessive copper stress. Not required for maintaining normal lifespan.
