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

egl-43Uncharacterized protein. (543 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fos-1
Transcription factor fos-1; Developmentally regulated transcription factor which binds and recognizes the enhancer DNA sequence 5'-TGA[CG]TCA-3'. [Isoform b]: Required for ovulation. Controls plc-1 expression in the spermatheca to regulate spermathecal valve dilation. Acts with hda-1 as a downstream repressor of the kgb-1 mediated stress response pathway that transcriptionally represses genes involved in the response to heavy metals, such as kreg-1 ; Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily.
    
 
 0.888
nhr-67
Nuclear hormone receptor family member nhr-67; Orphan nuclear receptor. In males, plays an essential role in the migration of the linker cell which guides gonad elongation during the L3 and L4 stages of larval development by negatively regulating the expression of netrin receptor unc-5 at the mid-L3 stage.
   
 
 0.887
zmp-1
Matrix metalloproteinase-A; Metalloprotease which, together with cadherin cdh-3 and hemicentin him-4, plays a role in anchor cell (AC) invasion during postembryonic vulval development probably by promoting the degradation of the basement membrane separating the gonad from the vulva epithelium.
      
 0.850
lin-12
Protein lin-12; Involved in several cell fate decisions that require cell- cell interactions. It is possible that lin-12 encodes a membrane-bound receptor for a signal that enables expression of the ventral uterine precursor cell fate. Activity in cell fate decisions and tumorigenesis is negatively regulated by sel-10. Functions in uterine cells to promote basement membrane mobility during tissue remodeling.
   
 
 0.786
him-4
EGF-like domain-containing protein.
      
 0.725
cdh-3
Cadherin-3; Cell adhesion protein involved in the control of epithelial morphogenesis. Together with metalloproteinase zmp-1 and hemicentin him-4, plays a role in anchor cell (AC) invasion during postembryonic vulval development.
   
  
 0.707
lag-2
Protein lag-2; Putative intercellular signal for lin-12 and GLP-1 receptors. Functions in uterine cells to promote basement membrane mobility during tissue remodeling.
   
  
 0.670
lin-3
Protein lin-3; Probable ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor let-23. Essential for vulval induction, where it acts downstream of the synthetic multivulva (synMuv) class genes. Probably by activating let-23, phospholipase plc-3 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor itr-1 signaling cascade, plays a role in ovulation by promoting gonadal sheath cell contractions and spermatheca dilatation during ovulation. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission in ALA neurons, mediates the decrease in pharyngeal pumping and locomotion during the quiescent state that precedes each larval molt, by [...]
      
 0.660
mig-10
Abnormal cell migration protein 10; Required cell non-autonomously for proper development of the excretory canals and for the long-range anterior-posterior migrations of embryonic neurons CAN, ALM and HSN. Plays a role, probably downstream of ced-10/rac1, in orientating axonal growth of HSN and AVM neurons in response to guidance cues such as slt- 1. May regulate growth cone polarization by promoting asymmetric F-actin assembly. May be involved in signal transduction during cell migration. Belongs to the MRL family.
   
 
 0.600
mes-2
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase mes-2; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of a the mes- 2/mes-3/mes-6 complex, which methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target genes. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. The mes-2/mes-3/mes-6 complex may participate in the global inactivation of the X c [...]
