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

nipi-3Protein nipi-3; By regulating the up-regulation in the epidermis of antimicrobial peptides nlp-29 and nlp-31, plays a role in resistance to fungal infection. (655 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
tpa-1
Protein kinase C-like 1; Diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent serine/threonine-protein kinase that phosphorylates a range of cellular proteins (Probable). Phosphorylates mlk-1, a component of the JNK pathway. Involved in axon regeneration after injury probably by activating the JNK pathway. Plays a role in resistance to fungal infection and in wound healing by promoting expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp- 29 in the epidermis downstream of gpa-12 and plc-3 and upstream of tir- 1-p38-like pathway. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission in ALA neurons, regulates the decrease in phary [...]

akt-2
Serine/threonine-protein kinase akt-2; Acts downstream of PI3 kinase age-1 and kinase pdk-1 in the daf-2/insulin receptor-like transduction pathway. Essential role in regulating developmental arrest at the dauer stage. Phosphorylates Forkhead-related daf- 16 and the longevity-promoting skn-1 transcription factors, which inhibits their entry into the nucleus and antagonizes their functions. Role in immune function and pathogen resistance. Downstream of age-1 and together with akt-2 and sgk-1, promotes cell survival during embryonic development. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. [...]

Phosphorylates Forkhead-related daf-16 and the longevity-promoting skn-1 transcription factors, which inhibits their entry into the nucleus and antagonizes their functions. Has an essential role in regulating developmental arrest at the dauer stage. Plays a role in immune function and pathogen resistance. Regulates salt chemotaxis learning. Downstream of age-1 and together with akt-2 and sgk-1, promotes cell survival during embryonic devel [...]

gpa-12
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-12 subunit; Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems (Probable). May play a role in resistance to fungal infection in the epidermis by regulating the up-regulation of several antimicrobial peptides of the NLP and CNC families. Upstream of plc-3, tpa-1 and the p38-like pathway, required for the expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp-29 in the epidermis in response to fungal infection or physical injury.
      
 0.804
sta-2
Signal transducer and activator of transcription b; Carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription (By similarity). By regulating the up- regulation in the epidermis of antimicrobial peptides nlp-29, plays a role in resistance to fungal infection and in the response to physical wounding and phorbol ester PMA treatment. Belongs to the transcription factor STAT family.
      
 0.801
rack-1
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit beta-2-like 1; Required for the expression of antimicrobial peptide nlp-29 in response to fungal infection or physical injury.
   
 
 0.746
nlp-29
Neuropeptide-like protein 29; Antimicrobial peptides that have antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria S.marcescens. Has antifungal activity against D.coniospora. May play a role in response to physical injury and osmotic stress ; Belongs to the YARP (YGGW-amide related peptide) family.
      
 0.744
pmk-1
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-1; Serine/threonine kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Phosphorylates snk-1 which probably regulates skn-1 nuclear translocation in response to oxidative stress. Probably by activating skn-1, involved in the up- regulation of gcs-1 and glutathione-S-transferase gst-4 expression upon bacteria infection. Up-regulates expression of gcs-1 in intestinal cells upon arsenite treatment. Functions downstream of the MAPKK sek-1 and the MAPKKK nsy-1 as the MAP kinase [...]

sek-1
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase sek-1; Dual specificity protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the p38 signal transduction pathway which is also composed of upstream effector nsy-1 and downstream effector pmk-1. May phosphorylate pmk-1. Downstream of CaMKII unc-43 and adapter protein tir- 1, plays a role in determining asymmetric cell fates in olfactory AWC neurons during neuronal development. Activation results in the repression of odorant receptor str-2 expression in one of the 2 AWC neurons. Involved in resistance to pathogenic Gram-positive [...]
