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

gcy-9Receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-9; Guanylate cyclase involved in the production of the second messenger cGMP (By similarity). Involved in the sensing of CO2 levels and acidity by the BAG neurons. May act as a direct receptor for CO2 and H+. (1081 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ets-5
ETS domain-containing transcription factor ets-5; Transcription factor that plays a role in the differentiation and function of the CO(2)- and O(2)-sensing BAG neurons. The BAG neurons are required for the behavioral avoidance of environmental CO(2) and the sensing of decreased O(2) levels. Promotes the expression of genes that play a role in CO(2)- and O(2)-sensing and in egg-laying in the BAG neurons. Positively regulates the transcription of the receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-9, which is a critical component of the CO(2) transduction pathway, in the BAG neurons. May mediate tra [...]

flp-17
FMRF-Like Peptide.
      
 0.806
flp-19
FMRFamide-like neuropeptides 19; FMRFamides and FMRFamide-like peptides are neuropeptides. WANQVRF-amide inhibits the activity of dissected pharyngeal myogenic muscle system; Belongs to the FARP (FMRFamide related peptide) family.

tax-4
Cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel; Required for normal thermosensation and chemosensation sensory behavior. Required, downstream of receptor- type guanylate cyclase gcy-9, for CO2-mediated responses in BAG neurons. Required, downstream of receptor-type guanylate cyclase gcy-14, for alkaline pH-mediated responses in ASE-left (ASEL) neurons. Involved in the development of ASJ sensory neuron axon during late larval stages and in the maintenance of normal axon morphology in the adult. Regulates dauer formation. Required for the calcium flux to the cytoplasm in the ASJ sensory neurons [...]

egl-13
Transcription factor egl-13; Probable transcription factor that is required for uterine cell fate decisions. Controls genes required for the specification and differentiation of O(2) and CO(2)- sensing neurons and for maintaining URX sensory neuronal cell fate.

wht-4
ABC transporter domain-containing protein.
      
 0.660
gcy-33
Soluble guanylate cyclase gcy-33; Synthesizes cyclic GMP (cGMP) from GTP (By similarity). May be involved in sensitivity to quinine by regulating egl-4 activity through the production of cGMP. Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.
