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

mef-2MADS-box domain-containing protein. (340 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hda-4
Histone deacetylase 4; 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 and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes (By similarity). May be involved in muscle development.

pmk-3
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-3; Responds to activation by environmental stress and pro- inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Involved in axon regeneration after injury, probably downstream of dlk-1 and mkk-4 and upstream of mak-2. May phosphorylate mak-2. Plays a role in cilium length regulation, possibly by reducing rab-5 mediated endocytosis. Plays a role in the formation of muscle connections, also called muscle arm extensions, between the body wall and the motor axons in the dorsal and ventral cord.
   
 0.841
kin-29
Serine/threonine-protein kinase kin-29; Regulates chemoreceptor expression by phosphorylating the hda-4 class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) and inhibiting the gene repression functions of hda-4 and the mef-2 transcription factor, enabling the correct sensing and transduction of food signals. Role in determining body size, the dauer decision and serotonin-mediated egg laying. May modulate the Sma/Mab pathway and regulates development in the later larval stages.
   
 
 0.840
pmk-1
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-1; Serine/threonine kinase which responds to activation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets. Phosphorylates snk-1 which probably regulates skn-1 nuclear translocation in response to oxidative stress. Probably by activating skn-1, involved in the up- regulation of gcs-1 and glutathione-S-transferase gst-4 expression upon bacteria infection. Up-regulates expression of gcs-1 in intestinal cells upon arsenite treatment. Functions downstream of the MAPKK sek-1 and the MAPKKK nsy-1 as the MAP kinase [...]

pmk-2
Mitogen-activated protein kinase pmk-2; Responds to activation by environmental stress and pro- inflammatory cytokines by phosphorylating downstream targets.
   
 0.839
srh-234
Serpentine Receptor, class H.
      
 0.759
F56E10.1
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 
 0.716
trt-1
Telomerase reverse transcriptase; Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme essential for the replication of chromosome termini in most eukaryotes. It elongates telomeres. It is a reverse transcriptase that adds simple sequence repeats to chromosome ends by copying a template sequence within the RNA component of the enzyme.
   
  
 0.672
hlh-8
Twist-related protein; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Involved in postembryonic mesodermal cell fate specification. Activates ceh-24 and egl-15 during mesodermal patterning.
   
 
 0.625
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.
