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-40Unc-40 protein. (1415 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-6
Netrin unc-6; Component of an extracellular matrix cue that guides dorsoventral migrations on the epidermis. Required for the guidance of pioneer axons and migrating cells along the body wall. During gonad morphogenesis, involved in distal tip cell (DTC) migration from the dorsal side of the hermaphrodite body to the midbody to allow for formation of gonad arms. Its association with either unc-40 or unc-5 receptors will lead to axon attraction or repulsion, respectively. Involved in the positioning of ray 1, the most anterior ray sensilium, in the male tail. Required for the formation [...]
    
 0.999
unc-5
Netrin receptor unc-5; Receptor for netrin (unc-6) required for axon guidance. Mediates axon repulsion of neuronal growth cones in the developing nervous system upon ligand binding. Axon migration is mediated by the secreted unc-6, which promotes attraction of neurons and axons through binding to the unc-40 receptor, while repulsion requires both unc-5 and unc-40 receptors. Involved in the ventral-dorsal and anterior-posterior migration of distal tip cells along the body, which may be mediated by Wnt receptor mom-5, ced- 10/Rac, ced-12/ELMO and mig-2/RhoG.

madd-2
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 
 0.961
unc-73
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor UNC-73A.
   
 0.961
drag-1
RGM domain family member drag-1; Probably in association with the cell surface receptor unc-40 positively modulates the BMP-like Sma/Mab signaling pathway through interaction with both the ligand dbl-1 and its type I receptor sma-6. Regulates body size and this may be through modulation of the Sma/Mab signaling pathway ; Belongs to the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family.
   
 
 0.947
slt-1
Slit homolog 1 protein; Functions as a ligand for sax-3 receptor during larval development. Acts via the sax-3/Robo receptor to direct ventral axon guidance and guidance at the midline during embryonic development.
   
 
 0.944
ced-10
Ras-related protein ced-10; Required in engulfing to control the phagocytosis of apoptotic cell corpses. Required in embryonic development for the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Involved in hypodermal cell fusion, together with pak-1 and cdc-42, leading to embryonic body elongation, which involves dramatic cytoskeletal reorganization. ced-2 and ced-5 function to activate ced-10 in a GTPase signaling pathway that controls the polarized extension of cell surfaces. Plays a redundant role with mig-2 in dorsal axonal guid [...]
    
 0.940
unc-34
WH1 domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.932
madd-4
Protein madd-4; Component of an extracellular matrix cue that is involved in the guidance of dorsoventral midline migrations and in the specification of postsynaptic domains at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Acts as a ligand for the netrin receptor unc-40 and the neuroligin receptor nlg-1. Secreted by the dorsal and ventral nerve cords to attract sensory axons and muscle membrane extensions called muscle arms. In parallel with unc-6 and slt-1, involved in the netrin receptor unc-40 dependent guidance of the AVM and PVM mechanosensory axons along the dorsal-ventral axis. The unc-40 cor [...]
   
 
 0.902
kin-32
Inactive tyrosine-protein kinase kin-32; Has apparently no tyrosine kinase activity in vitro when expressed in mammalian cells; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. FAK subfamily.
