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

pie-1Pharynx and intestine in excess protein 1; Maternally provided PIE-1 is required for germline cell fate determination. Functions as a repressor of RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression in the developing germline. Required for expression of nos-2 in P4 germline blastomere cells. Inhibits the histone deacetylase activity of hda-1. Represses transcriptional activation of cdk-9 and cit-1.1, which are members of the P-TEFb complex. (335 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mex-5
Zinc finger protein mex-5; Functions with mex-6 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells. Binds to mRNA in vitro, and inhibits pgl-3-mediated P-granule formation, probably by competing with pgl-3 for binding to mRNA.
   
  
 0.940
mex-3
Muscle EXcess.
   
  
 0.931
unc-119
Protein unc-119; Myristoyl-binding protein that acts as a cargo adapter: specifically binds the myristoyl moiety of a subset of N-terminally myristoylated proteins and is required for their localization. Plays a key role in ciliary membrane localization of proteins. Required for the establishment or function of the nervous system.
      
 0.915
mex-6
Zinc finger protein mex-6; Functions with mex-5 to affect embryonic viability, establish soma germline asymmetry in embryos and establish plk-1, pie-1, mex-1, and pos-1 asymmetry in embryos. Also affects formation of intestinal cells.
   
  
 0.907
his-48
Probable histone H2B 4; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
      
 0.892
oma-1
CCCH-type zinc finger protein oma-1; Zinc-finger RNA-binding protein that binds to 5'-UA[AU]-3' motifs in the 3'-UTR of maternal mRNAs to suppress translation in oocytes and embryos. Acts as a ribonucleoprotein particle component that may exert part of its function within cytoplasmic foci of unfertilized oocytes. Acts redundantly with oma-2 to control the temporal expression and distribution of maternal proteins and thereby promote meiotic progression, oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development. Recruits the translational repressor ifet-1 to the 3'-UTR of mei-1 and zif- [...]
   
  
 0.883
zif-1
Zinc finger-interacting factor 1; Probable substrate recognition component of a CBC (Cul2- ElonginB-ElonginC) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Ensures germline precursor cell asymmetry by targeting germline proteins for destruction if expressed in non-germline cells. This process also requires elc-1, cul-2, rbx-1 and ubc-2.
   
 
 0.876
oma-2
CCCH-type zinc finger protein oma-2; Zinc-finger RNA-binding protein that binds to 5'-UA[AU]-3' motifs in the 3'-UTR of maternal mRNAs to suppress translation in oocytes and embryos. Acts redundantly with oma-1 to control the temporal expression and distribution of maternal proteins and thereby promote meiotic progression, oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development. Also, together with oma-1, is involved in P-granule distribution during embryonic development.
