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

csp-2Putative inactive caspase B subunit p17; [Isoform b]: Putative inactive caspase. In the germline, binds caspase ced-3 zymogen and prevents ced-3 autoactivation. Does not affect the caspase activity of mature ced-3 and ced-4-mediated mature ced-3 activation. Negatively regulates germline apoptosis by inhibiting autocleavage of caspase ced-3. Involved in fertility ; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (826 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ced-4
Cell death protein 4; Component of the egl-1, ced-9, ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic signaling cascade required for the initiation of programmed cell death in cells fated to die during embryonic and postembryonic development. During oogenesis, required for germline apoptosis downstream of ced-9 and upstream of ced-3 but independently of egl-1. May regulate germline apoptosis in response to DNA damage, probably downstream of let-60/ras and mpk-1 pathway. Regulates CEP neuron apoptosis in response to high Al(3+) levels. During male tail morphogenesis, promotes apoptosis of the tail-spike cell [...]

ced-9
Apoptosis regulator ced-9; Plays a major role in programmed cell death (PCD, apoptosis). egl-1 binds to and directly inhibits the activity of ced-9, releasing the cell death activator ced-4 from a ced-9/ced-4 containing protein complex and allowing ced-4 to activate the cell-killing caspase ced-3. During larval development, required for the elimination of transient presynaptic components downstream of egl-1 and upstream of ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic pathway.
   
 
 0.893
ced-3
Cell death protein 3 subunit p13; Acts as a cysteine protease in controlling programmed cell death (apoptosis) by proteolytically activating or inactivating a wide range of substrates. Component of the egl-1, ced-9, ced-4 and ced-3 apoptotic signaling cascade required for the initiation of programmed cell death in cells fated to die during embryonic and postembryonic development. During oogenesis, required for germline apoptosis downstream of ced-9 and ced-4 but independently of egl-1. By cleaving and activating ced-8, promotes phosphatidylserine exposure on the surface of apoptotic ce [...]

pcaf-1
P300/CBP Associated Factor homolog.
    
 
 0.700
gei-8
Nuclear receptor corepressor 1; Mediates transcriptional repression by certain nuclear receptors. Plays a role in development and neuronal function. May play a role in muscle-specific oxidative mitochondrial metabolism.
    
 
 0.638
eef-1G
Probable elongation factor 1-gamma; Probably plays a role in anchoring the complex to other cellular components.
      
 0.577
bir-2
Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein bir-2.
   
 
 0.546
K11D12.9
RING-type domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.546
bir-1
Chromosomal passenger complex protein bir-1; Component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome condensation, alignment and segregation. In the complex, required to direct the Aurora B/air-2 kinase to chromosomes. Also functions in spindle midzone formation and in the formation of polar bodies during oogenesis. Required for the localization of the kinetochore component hcp-1 to chromosomes. Involved in the positive [...]
