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

ttx-1Homeobox domain-containing protein. (391 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ceh-14
Homeobox protein ceh-14; Confers thermosensory function to neurons. Required for correct AFD-mediated thermotaxis.
      
 0.843
gcy-8
Receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-8; Guanylate cyclase involved in the production of the second messenger cGMP. Regulates thermotaxis responses in AFD sensory neurons. May regulate AFD neuronal activity such as calcium responses to temperature gradients. Maintains the microvilli receptive ending morphology of the AFD thermosensory neurons by regulating cGMP levels downstream of kcc-3. cGMP levels antagonize the actin cytoskeleton regulator wsp-1.
   
  
 0.813
ver-1
Protein ver-1; Involved in amphid glia remodeling during entry into dauer stage by promoting the fusion of sheath amphid cells which encloses AWC neuron sensory endings. May be involved, downstream of pvf-1, in the positioning of ray 1, the most anterior ray sensillum in the male tail.
      
 0.807
ztf-16
Zinc finger protein ztf-16; Positively regulates the expression of ver-1 in the amphid sheath glia of amphid sensory neurons. Together with ehn-3, plays a role in somatic gonad development and is required for proper gonadal primordium assembly and somatic gonad precursor cell morphology ; Belongs to the Ikaros C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
   
 
 0.775
gcy-18
Receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-18; Guanylate cyclase involved in the production of the second messenger cGMP (By similarity). Regulates thermotaxis responses in AFD sensory neurons. May regulate AFD neuronal activity such as calcium responses to temperature gradients.
      
 0.759
che-1
Transcription factor che-1; Transcription factor essential for the identity of ASE chemosensory neurons. Acts by activating expression of genes that are specific for ASE chemosensory neurons, such as seven-transmembrane receptors or guanylate cyclase. Also required to control the left/right asymmetry in ASE chemosensory neurons by regulating expression of genes such as cog-1 and ceh-36.
    
 
 0.715
tax-2
Cyclic nucleotide-binding domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.699
pha-2
Homeobox domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.691
tax-4
Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel; Required for normal thermosensation and chemosensation sensory behavior. Required, downstream of receptor- type guanylate cyclase gcy-9, for CO2-mediated responses in BAG neurons. Required, downstream of receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-14, for alkaline pH-mediated responses in ASE-left (ASEL) neurons. Involved in the development of ASJ sensory neuron axon during late larval stages and in the maintenance of normal axon morphology in the adult. Regulates dauer formation. Required for the calcium flux to the cytoplasm in the ASJ sensory neurons [...]
      
 0.671
aff-1
Cell fusion protein aff-1; Required for cell fusion events during development including the fusion of anchor cells (AC), vulval A and vulval D rings, and late epidermal seam cells. Required for amphid sheath cell fusion induced by entry into dauer stage.
