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

spo-11Meiotic recombination protein spo-11; Required for meiotic recombination. Mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination. (425 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
him-14
MutS protein homolog him-14; Required during the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase for the formation of crossovers between homologous chromosomes. Not needed for pairing or synapsis. May promote crossing over by interfering with Holliday junction branch migration. Has no apparent role in DNA mismatch repair.
   
 
 0.991
rad-51
DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog; Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA- dependent ATPase activity. Underwinds duplex DNA.
   
 
 0.988
mus-81
ERCC4 domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.984
exo-1
EXOnuclease.
   
 
 0.972
msh-5
MutS protein homolog 5; Crucial component in meiotic recombination, functioning at some point after the initiation step of recombination. Plays a role in promoting the crossover outcome of meiotic recombination events. Required for formation of normal meiotic crossover, and crossover and chiasmata generated by artificially made DNA breaks.

rad-54
Uncharacterized protein.

zhp-3
RING-type domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.943
smc-3
Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3; Involved in chromosome cohesion during cell cycle and in DNA repair. Involved in the repair of double strand breaks during mitosis and meiosis. Required for chromosome segregation during mitosis. Central component of cohesin complex. The cohesin complex is required for the cohesion of sister chromatids after DNA replication. The cohesin complex apparently forms a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped (By similarity). At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chrom [...]
