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

ZK1067.2NFX1-type zinc finger-containing protein 1 homolog; Epigenetic inheritance factor which, in association with the Argonaute protein wago-4, mediates small RNA-directed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and thus balances the transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic information. Specifically, maintains a balanced production of small RNAs by preventing the spread of epigenetic signals towards the 5'-end of target mRNAs. Plays a role in small RNA- induced gene silencing in the germline. (2443 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wago-4
Argonaute protein wago-4; Argonaute protein which is involved in the endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway and is required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) in the germline. Interacts with secondary 22G-RNAs, which are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-derived endo-siRNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length with a 5'guanosine residue. Also interacts with the mRNA targets of 22G-RNAs. Associates with znfx-1 to mediate small RNA-directed transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of both germline- and soma-expressed genes. Belongs to the argonaute family. WAGO subfamily.

wago-1
Argonaute protein wago-1; Argonaute protein which is involved in the endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. Interacts with secondary 22G- RNAs, which are RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-derived endo-siRNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length with a 5'guanosine residue. In the germline, functions in a genome surveillance system to silence transposons and aberrant transcripts.
