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

rec-8Meiotic recombination protein rec-8; Plays a role in meiotic chromosome cohesion and segregation. Necessary for sister chromatid co- orientation and sister chromatid cohension until meiosis II. May also be required for repair of programmed meiotic double stranded breaks. During spermatogenesis, likely involved in spermatocyte centriole cohesion, thus preventing their separation during the second meiotic division. Belongs to the rad21 family. Highly divergent. (781 aa)

air-2
Aurora/IPL1-related protein kinase 2; Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation. Required for histone H3 phosphorylation during segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis and mitosis. Required for histone H3 'Ser- 10' phosphorylation. Phosphorylates tlk-1 at 'Ser-634', which enhances its activity. Phosphorylates zen-4 at 'Ser- 680'. Required f [...]

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 [...]

scc-3
Cohesin subunit scc-3; Component of the cohesin complex, a complex 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 scc-1 subunit of the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate (By similarity). The cohesin complex may also play a role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis (By similarity). Has a role in stabilization of homologous chromosome associations during meiotic syn [...]

lab-1
Long arms of the bivalent protein 1; Involved in sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis and meiosis. In association with the gsp-2 phosphatase, it both restricts the localization and antagonizes the function of the air-2 kinase during meiosis I and mitosis to promote chromatid cohesion and spindle attachment. This in turn, drives germ cell immortality. Furthermore, may play a role in ensuring the timely assembly of the synaptonemal complex during prophase I of meiosis.
