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

ceh-18Homeobox protein ceh-18; Directs gonadal sheath cell differentiation and function. Also directs gonad migration and plays a role in specifying the differentiated phenotypes of epidermal cells during postembryonic development. Plays a role in oogenesis, regulating a sheath cell signal that causes oocytes to maintain diakinesis arrest during meiosis. Negatively regulates oocyte maturation, ovulation and MAPK activation in oocytes when sperm are not available for fertilization. May be recruited by akir-1 to the promoter regions of antimicrobial peptide genes to control gene expression in [...] (542 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sptf-3
SP (Specificity Protein) Transcription Factor.
    
 0.905
taf-4
TAFH domain-containing protein.

jun-1
Transcription factor jun-1; Transcription factor that recognizes and binds to the AP-1 non-canonical enhancer heptamer motif 5'-TTAGTCA-3'. Required for ovulation. Controls plc-1 expression in the spermatheca to regulate spermathecal valve dilation.
   
 
 0.715
vab-1
Ephrin receptor 1; Receptor for members of the ephrin family (By similarity). Receptor for major sperm proteins (MSPs), that functions as sperm- sensing checkpoint which inhibits oocyte meiotic maturation and ovulation when sperm are not available for fertilization. Specifically, functions to negatively regulates oocyte maturation and MAPK activation in the absence of MSPs. Required for the MSP-mediated increase in the basal sheath cell contraction rate in somatic cells. Phosphorylates phosphatase daf-18/PTEN which probably promotes daf-18 degradation. By inactivating daf-18, regulates [...]

inx-14
Innexin-14; Structural component of the gap junctions.
      
 0.699
inx-22
Innexin; Structural component of the gap junctions. Belongs to the pannexin family.
      
 0.690
aha-1
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator homolog; Has a role in cellular differentiation. Required for pharyngeal development. In collaboration with ahr-1 it is involved in RMEL/R and SDQR neuron cell migration. Acts in the cellular response to hypoxia. Involved in aggregation behavior by regulating soluble guanylate cyclase gene expression in the URX neurons.
   
 
 0.649
M03D4.4
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 
 0.604
tbp-1
TATA-box-binding protein; General transcription factor that functions at the core of the DNA-binding multiprotein factor TFIID. Binding of TFIID to the TATA box is the initial transcriptional step of the pre-initiation complex (PIC), playing a role in the activation of eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
   
 0.579
snpc-4
snRNA-activating protein complex subunit 4 homolog; Binds to the promoter regions of RNA polymerase II and III small-nuclear RNA genes, type 3 RNA polymerase III non-coding RNA genes, small nucleolar RNAs and transfer RNA genes. Required for expression of mature 21U-RNAs.
