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

lin-45Raf homolog serine/threonine-protein kinase; Protein kinase that participates in the induction of vulva and has roles in fertility and viability. Acts downstream of the Ras protein let-60. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum- mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Positively regulates lifespan upstream of mek-2 and mpk-1. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily. (855 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
let-60
Ras protein let-60; The level of let-60 controls the switch between vulval and hypodermal cell fates during C.elegans vulval induction. May stimulate the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of rap-1. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
   
 0.998
mek-2
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase mek-2; Functions in the let-60 Ras signaling pathway; acts downstream of lin-45 raf kinase, but before the sur-1/mpk-1 gene product in controlling vulval cell differentiation. Required for progression of developing oocytes through the pachytene stage. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum- mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Involved in fluid homeostasis. Positively regulates lifespan upstream of mpk-1.

ral-1
RAL (Ras-related GTPase) homolog.
   
 
 0.951
src-1
Tyrosine protein-kinase src-1; Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase which plays a role in endoderm development by controlling spindle orientation in EMS blastomere, probably downstream of receptor mes-1. Also involved in embryonic body morphogenesis, especially in the formation of the pharynx and the intestine. May be dispensable for pharyngeal muscle organization in the adult. Probably phosphorylates netrin receptor unc-5, to regulate distal tip cell (DTC) migration during gonad development and in axon repulsion. Plays a role in the migration of the QR neuroblast, a precursor of the A [...]

E02D9.1
Protein kinase domain-containing protein; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.
   
 0.944
ftt-2
14-3-3-like protein 2; Required for extension of life-span by sir-2.1. Promotes nuclear export of yap-1. Negatively regulates the transcriptional activity of daf-16 by sequestering it to the cytoplasm. Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.
   
 0.937
rap-1
Ras-related protein Rap-1; Required in the hypodermis for proper formation of the cuticle; Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
   
 0.930
pph-5
Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 5; Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase. Dephosphorylates cdc-37. Probably by dephosphorylating separase sep-1, may be involved in sep-1-mediated exocytosis of cortical granules during meiotic anaphase and mitotic cytokinesis.
   
 0.906
sem-5
Sex muscle abnormal protein 5; Adapter protein which modulates signaling mediated by several receptor tyrosine kinases such as egl-15 and let-23 probably acting upstream of let-60/ras. Negatively regulates vulva induction probably downstream of let-23. Involved in sex myoblast migration. Negatively regulates fluid homeostasis probably downstream of egl-15. During the formation of neuromuscular junctions at the larval stage, negatively regulates membrane protrusion from body wall muscles probably downstream of egl- 15. Involved in cytoskeleton dynamics and is recruited by mig-13 to the [...]

ksr-1
Kinase suppressor of Ras A; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which positively regulates Ras-mediated signaling probably acting at the level of let-60/ras or/and lin-45/raf. Involved in sex myoblast migration. Plays a role in responses to M.nematophilum-mediated bacterial infection by promoting tail swelling and preventing constipation. Functions redundantly with ksr-2 in the Ras-mediated regulation of larval survival, the development of excretory canal and in mpk-1 phosphorylation in somatic cells. In addition, involved in determining vulval precursor cell fate during vulval induction i [...]
