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

epg-9Ectopic P Granules. (260 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
atg-13
Autophagy-related protein 13 homolog; Component of the unc-51/atg-13 complex required for autophagosome formation. Required for the degradation of germ cell specific P-granule components such as sepa-1 by autophagy in somatic cells. This ensures exclusive localization of the P-granules in germ cells. May function downstream of the let-363 (Tor) signaling pathway to mediate sepa-1 degradation. Plays a role in survival during limited food availability ; Belongs to the ATG13 family. Metazoan subfamily.
    
 0.999
unc-51
Serine/threonine-protein kinase unc-51; Protein kinase important for axonal elongation and axonal guidance. Functions in the CAN axons to direct both anterior and posterior migrations. Phosphorylates both unc-14 and vab-8. Component of the unc-51/atg-13 complex that is probably recruited by lgg-1 to preautophagosomes and is required for autophagosome formation. Interaction with autophagy related proteins such as atg-13 links it to the autophagy machinery to in turn promote P-granule degradation in somatic cells. Plays a role in mitophagy during limited food availability. Regulates cell [...]

epg-7
ATG11 domain-containing protein.
   
 0.992
daf-15
Raptor_N domain-containing protein.
     
 0.949
let-363
Target of rapamycin homolog; Serine/threonine-protein kinase that regulates the mRNA translation machinery, probably by modulating the activity of translation factors such as eIF-4G and eIF-2. It may have some protein kinase activity instead of lipid kinase activity. May play a role in P-granule degradation by autophagy in somatic cells during embryogenesis. Required, during larval development, for the establishment of the proper number of germline progenitors, probably upstream of rsks-1 and ife-1. Required for larval development. May act as a mediator of lifespan regulation by insuli [...]

bec-1
Beclin homolog; Regulates autophagy. Together with phosphatidyl-3-phosphate kinase vps-34, acts as a core subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3- phosphate (PtdIns3P), thereby regulating membrane trafficking. In association with sorf-1 and sorf-2, negatively regulates phosphatidylinositol 3- phosphate in early endosomes to allow for the conversion to late endosomes. Involved in the clearance of engulfed apoptotic cell corpses. Together with ced-9, negatively regulates somatic and germline apoptosis. Plays a role in endosome-to-Golgi retrograde tra [...]
   
 0.943
epg-8
Ectopic P Granules.
    
 0.941
atg-2
Autophagy-related protein 2; Component of the epg-6/atg-2 complex, which is involved in the generation of autophagosomes from omegasomes and in the distribution of atg-9 and atg-13 during the autophagy-mediated degradation of protein aggregates. Involved in autophagy-mediated degradation of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins in lysosomes, which is essential for maintaining nucleotide homeostasis.
   
  
 0.933
mlst-8
WD_REPEATS_REGION domain-containing protein.
     
 0.917
vps-34
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; Catalytic subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Together with bec-1, mediates the production of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate on intracellular vesicles and thereby regulates membrane trafficking. Plays a role in endosome-to-Golgi retrograde transport of mig-14. 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 recr [...]
