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

unc-116Kinesin heavy chain; Microtubule-dependent motor protein required for organelle transport. Plays a role in endosome transport. Required for the transport of mitochondria along the axon of motor neurons. Involved in the nuclear migration of hyp7 hypodermal precursor cells. Required for the formation of dendritic branches of PVD sensory neurons. In non-ciliated neurons such as the PVD and PHC neurons, required for the organization of minus-end out microtubules in dendrites. Involved in the localization of unc-33 to neurites. (815 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
klc-2
Kinesin light chain; Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport (Probable). The light chain may function in coupling of cargo to the heavy chain or in the modulation of its ATPase activity (Probable). Recruits unc-83 (within the unc-83-unc-84 LINC complex) to the nuclear envelope during nuclear migration to mediate the link between the nuclear envelope and the microtubule cytoskeleton in hypodermal precursor cells.

unc-16
JNK-interacting protein; The JNK-interacting protein (JIP) group of scaffold proteins selectively mediates JNK signaling by aggregating specific components of the MAPK cascade to form a functional JNK signaling module. May function as a regulator of synaptic vesicle transport, through interactions with the JNK-signaling components and motor proteins. Binds specific components of the JNK signaling pathway namely jnk-1, jkk-1 and sek-1. Associates with components of the motor protein, kinesin-1. Pre-assembled unc-16 scaffolding complexes are then transported as a cargo of kinesin, to the [...]

dhc-1
Dynein heavy chain, cytoplasmic; Cytoplasmic dynein acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules (By similarity). Dynein has ATPase activity; the force-producing power stroke is thought to occur on release of ADP (By similarity). May play a role in nuclear migration in hypodermal precursor cells. May be involved in the transport of synaptic vesicle components towards the axon of the DA motor neuron. This function may involve the regulation of dynein by pct-1 and/or cdk-5. Involved in the formation of synapses in the dorsal regi [...]
