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

mep-1MOG interacting and ectopic P-granules protein 1; Has a broad role in development, specifically in the genetic pathway SynMuvB that negatively regulates specification of the vulval cell fate. Required for fem-3 3'-UTR-mediated repression in the regulation of the sperm/oocyte switch. Acts by regulating the translation of fem-3 mRNA, by binding to its 3'-UTR. (870 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
let-418
Protein let-418; Part of a NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase) complex which is implicated in the synMuv B pathway that negatively regulates specification of vulval cell fate. This negative regulation is thought to be mediated via interaction with the promoter of lin-39, a key regulator in vulva development, and is dependent on the presence lin-1. Contributes to negative regulation of lag-2 which is expressed in the gut during larval development. Has a broad role in development. In association with akir-1, plays a role in regulating the transcription of antimicrobial peptide g [...]

lin-13
Zinc finger protein lin-13; Involved in repression of vulval fate, possibly by a tumor suppressor protein Rb-mediated mechanism.
   
  
 0.787
lin-1
ETS domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.763
mog-3
Sex determining protein MOG-3.
   
 
 0.756
mog-4
Probable pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase mog-4; ATP-binding RNA helicase involved in pre-mRNA splicing (Probable). Operates during embryogenesis.
   
 
 0.753
pie-1
Pharynx and intestine in excess protein 1; Maternally provided PIE-1 is required for germline cell fate determination. Functions as a repressor of RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression in the developing germline. Required for expression of nos-2 in P4 germline blastomere cells. Inhibits the histone deacetylase activity of hda-1. Represses transcriptional activation of cdk-9 and cit-1.1, which are members of the P-TEFb complex.
   
 
 0.701
chd-3
Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 3 homolog; Chromatin-remodeling protein that has a role in notch signaling-dependent vulval cell fate determination. May also have a role in pharyngeal precursor cell specification.
   
  
 0.675
cyn-4
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase 4; May catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides thereby assisting the folding of proteins. May also function as a chaperone, playing a role in intracellular transport of proteins. May also have a protein ubiquitin ligase activity acting as an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase or as a ubiquitin-ubiquitin ligase promoting elongation of ubiquitin chains on proteins. Influences the hermaphrodite switch from spermatogenesis to oogenesis. Required for body wall muscle cell development.
   
 
 0.674
mes-4
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase mes-4; Histone methyltransferase. Dimethylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in early development and is responsible for all H3 'Lys- 36' dimethylation until about the 40-cell stage. Indirectly involved in the global inactivation of the X chromosomes in germline cells, possibly by excluding the mes-2-mes-3-mes-6 repressive Polycomb complex from the autosomes. Not related to transcription elongation. Required for small-RNA-induced H3K27 trimethylation. May suppress sensitivity to [...]

spr-5
Probable lysine-specific histone demethylase 1; Probable histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, thereby acting as a corepressor. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Demethylates both mono- and di-methylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (By similarity). Participates in the transcriptional repression of the presenilin protein hop-1. May act via the formation of a multiprotein complex that remodel or modify the chromatin. Together wi [...]
