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

atg-2Autophagy-related protein 2; Component of the epg-6/atg-2 complex, which is involved in the generation of autophagosomes from omegasomes and in the distribution of atg-9 and atg-13 during the autophagy-mediated degradation of protein aggregates. Involved in autophagy-mediated degradation of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins in lysosomes, which is essential for maintaining nucleotide homeostasis. (2290 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
atg-18
Autophagy-related protein 18; Component of the autophagy machinery that is recruited to phosphatidylinositols on preautophagosomal structures, which are early autophagic structures, to promote autophagosome formation, and the subsequent degradation and clearance of engulfed apoptotic cells and P- granules in somatic cells. In particular, binds with high affinity to phosphatidylinositols including phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P), and phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P), and more weakly to phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bis [...]

atg-9
Autophagy-related protein 9; Involved in autophagy and cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation. Plays a key role in the organization of the preautophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS), the nucleating site for formation of the sequestering vesicle. Belongs to the ATG9 family.

unc-51
Serine/threonine-protein kinase unc-51; Protein kinase important for axonal elongation and axonal guidance. Functions in the CAN axons to direct both anterior and posterior migrations. Phosphorylates both unc-14 and vab-8. Component of the unc-51/atg-13 complex that is probably recruited by lgg-1 to preautophagosomes and is required for autophagosome formation. Interaction with autophagy related proteins such as atg-13 links it to the autophagy machinery to in turn promote P-granule degradation in somatic cells. Plays a role in mitophagy during limited food availability. Regulates cell [...]

epg-6
Ectopic P granules protein 6; Component of the epg-6/atg-2 complex, which is involved in the generation of autophagosomes from omegasomes and in the distribution of atg-9 and atg-13 during the autophagy-mediated degradation of protein aggregates. Binds to phosphatidylinositols on preautophagosomes, which are early autophagic structures, to promote autophagosome formation. In particular, binds with high affinity to phosphatidylinositols including phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P), but more weakly to phosphatidylinositol 4- ph [...]

atg-5
Autophagy-related protein 5; Involved in autophagic vesicle formation (By similarity). Conjugation with lgg-3/ATG12, through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving atg-7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and atg-10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function (By similarity). Most likely a component of an atg-5-lgg-3-atg-16 complex that promotes autophagosome formation by associating with lgg-2, but not lgg-1, at the preautophagosomal membrane. Probably, as part of an atg-5-lgg-3-atg-16 complex, required for lgg-1 lipidation; the complex acts as an E3-like enzym [...]

lgg-3
Ubiquitin-like protein atg-12; Ubiquitin-like protein involved in autophagy vesicles formation (By similarity). Conjugation with atg-5 through a ubiquitin- like conjugating system involving also atg-7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and atg-10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function (By similarity). Most likely a component of an atg-5-lgg- 3-atg-16 complex that promotes autophagosome formation by associating with lgg-2, but not lgg-1, at the preautophagosomal membrane. Probably, as part of an atg-5-lgg- 3-atg-16 complex, required for lgg-1 lipidation; the comple [...]

vps-34
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; Catalytic subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Together with bec-1, mediates the production of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate on intracellular vesicles and thereby regulates membrane trafficking. Plays a role in endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport of mig-14. Involved in clearance of apoptotic cell corpses by phagosomes. Phagosome maturation requires two sequential and non-overlapping pulses of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) on the vesicle surface which mediates recr [...]
