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

lst-4Sorting nexin lst-4; Involved in the signaling of vulval development by acting as a negative regulator of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. Aids in phagosomal membrane tubule formation which is required for phagosomal fusion with endosomes and lysosomes. Also recruits rab-7 to phagosomes by an interaction with dyn-1. These are events leading to phagosome maturation which is a step in apoptotic cell corpse clearance. Binds phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. Belongs to the sorting nexin family. (592 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dyn-1
Dynamin; Microtubule-associated force-producing protein involved in producing microtubule bundles and able to bind and hydrolyze GTP. Most probably involved in vesicular trafficking processes, in particular endocytosis (By similarity). Required for coelomocyte endocytosis. Involved in apoptotic cell phagocytosis. Required for recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase piki-1 to phagosomes. May play a role in rab-5 recruitment to cell-corpses-containing phagosomes but not to endosomes. Required for embryonic and larval development. Belongs to the TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase supe [...]

snx-1
PX domain-containing protein.

piki-1
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase piki-1; Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase involved in clearance of apoptotic cell corpses by phagosomes. Phagosome maturation requires two sequential and non-overlapping pulses of phosphatidylinositol-3- phosphate (PI3P) on the vesicle surface which mediates recruitment of sortins snx-1 and lst-4 and small GTPases rab-5, rab-2 and rab-7. The first pulse is initiated by piki-1, then maintained by vps-34 which also produces the second pulse. Unlike vps-34, not involved in the formation of PI3P in early endosomes; Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family.

dpy-23
AP-2 complex subunit mu; Component of the adaptor complexes which link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles (By similarity). Clathrin-associated protein complexes are believed to interact with the cytoplasmic tails of membrane proteins, leading to their selection and concentration (By similarity). AP50 is a subunit of the plasma membrane adaptor (By similarity). Essential wnt/egl-20 signaling protein that functions in wnt/egl-20-producing cells. Required for the AP-2 complex-mediated endocytosis of membrane proteins including wntless homolog mig-14 in egl-20-producing cells. During [...]
