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

mom-1Protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase porcupine; Key regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway that mediates lipid modification of Wnt proteins. Acts as a protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase that catalyzes the attachment of palmitoleate, a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid (C16:1), to Wnt proteins (By similarity). Serine palmitoleylation of WNT proteins is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors (By similarity). Has a role in cell specification, specifically in blastomere signaling. Involved in cytosketetal polarity. Required for the orientation of mitotic spindle [...] (442 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mom-2
Protein mom-2; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Involved in cleavage axis determination. Binds to receptor tyrosine kinase cam-1. Together with wnt ligand lin-44, plays a role in controlling vulva precursor cell P7.p lineage orientation during vulva development, probably by acting as a ligand for tyrosine kinase receptor lin-18. May act redundantly with other Wnt ligands such [...]

egl-20
Wnt homolog.

cwn-1
Protein Wnt-1; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters. Binds receptor tyrosine kinase cam-1. Together with Wnt ligand cwn-2, regulates the migration of CAN, ALM, BDU and HSN neurons during embryogenesis, the migration of QL and QR neuroblast descendants during larval development, and polarity of ALM neurons. Also acts with the Wnt ligand egl-20 to direct HSN neuron migration. Acts [...]

mig-14
Protein wntless homolog; Probable sorting receptor which regulates endocytosis and secretion of the wnt ligand egl-20. Recycling of mig-14 from the plasma membrane to the Golgi apparatus by the retromer complex is essential for its function. Its endosomal trafficking is regulated by its association with sorting nexin snx-3 on early endosomes and the mtm-6/mtm-9 myotubularin complex. Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Functions during vulval development, [...]

mom-5
Protein mom-5; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of gsk-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes (Probable). A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as pkc seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of gsk-3 kinase (Probable). B [...]

cwn-2
Protein Wnt-2; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters. Involved in the correct positioning of the developing nerve ring and in axon guidance of SIA and SIB neurons, probably by binding to tyrosine kinase receptor cam-1. In addition, regulates the positioning of some head neuronal cells, muscle arms associated with the nerve ring and the excretory pore. Together with Wnt ligand cwn- [...]

mom-4
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase mom-4; Part of the Wnt signaling pathway essential for the specification of the mesodermal cell fate in early embryos. Stimulates the wrm-1/lit-1-dependent phosphorylation of pop-1 and plays a role in the initial nuclear accumulation of wrm-1. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily.
