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-37Transcription factor unc-37; Transcriptional corepressor that functions with the neural specificity gene unc-4 to govern motor neuron identity. May function with transcription factor mls-1 to promote uterine muscle specification and formation. (612 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-4
Homeobox protein unc-4; Transcription factor that regulates synaptic specificity. Determines the pattern of synaptic input to VA motor neurons. Acts together with unc-37 by repressing the expression of VB-specific genes such as ceh-12, thereby preventing the adoption of VB motor neurons. Has no role in axonal guidance or outgrowth. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Unc-4 subfamily.

pop-1
Protein pop-1; Part of the Wnt signaling pathway essential for the specification of the mesodermal cell fate in early embryos. Required for asymmetrical division of somatic gonadal precursor descendants which initiate axis formation required to control organ shape. Represses expression of target genes via its interaction with hda-1 histone deacetylase. Required for specification of the M lineage-derived coelomocyte and sex myoblast fate. Regulates coelomocyte fate by positively regulating proliferation and ceh-34 and possibly eya-1 expression in M.dlpa and M.drpa precursors.

mab-9
T-box protein 12; Involved in cell fate determination; required to pattern the posterior hindgut.
    
 
 0.895
ceh-16
Homeobox protein engrailed-like ceh-16; Required in the seam cells during embryonic development. Represses the fusion of the seam cells with the neighboring dorsal and ventral epidermal cells by repressing the expression of the fusion effector eff-1. Required for early seam cell differentiation. Triggers the expression of elt-5 and other seam cell markers and is indispensable for alae formation (a hallmark of seam cell differentiation). Required for the maintenance of correct boundaries between the lateral rows of seam cells and the ventral and dorsal row of epidermal cells during embr [...]

hda-1
Histone deacetylase 1; Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression. Plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Involved in the endoderm determination possibly by repressing end-1 expression. Also involved in vulval development, possibly by repressing lag-2 expression. In association with akir-1, plays a role in regula [...]

rnt-1
Runt domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.853
ctbp-1
C-terminal-binding protein 1; Binds DNA and represses gene expression. Plays a role in regulation of life span, possibly by regulating transcription of genes important for lipid metabolism.
    
 0.850
mls-1
T-box transcription factor mls-1; Probable transcription factor required for the cell fate specification of non-striated uterine muscle precursor cells. Furthermore, may function with the transcriptional corepressor unc-37.
