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

eat-4Probable vesicular glutamate transporter eat-4; Required for glutamatergic synaptic transmission. In AWB and AWC sensory neurons, required for the detection of preferred food sources, probably via glutamatergic neurotransmission from sensory neurons. Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior. (576 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
glr-1
Glutamate receptor 1; Non-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. May contribute to a sensory discrimination between mechanical and chemical stimuli. Plays a role in controlling movement in response to environmental cues such as food availability and mechanosensory stimulation such as the nose touch response. In AIB interneurons, promotes om [...]

unc-17
Vesicular acetylcholine transporter unc-17; Involved in acetylcholine transport into synaptic vesicles. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Vesicular transporter family.
   
  
 0.851
unc-13
Phorbol ester/diacylglycerol-binding protein unc-13; May form part of a signal transduction pathway, transducing the signal from diacylglycerol to effector functions. One such function could be the release of neurotransmitter from neurons. Probably by regulating neuronal transmission downstream of lin-3 and receptor lin-23 and phospholipase plc-3 and upstream of innexin unc-7 and egl-4/PKG in ALA neurons, involved in the decrease in pharyngeal pumping during the quiescent state that precedes each larval molt.

tph-1
BH4_AAA_HYDROXYL_2 domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.814
unc-47
Vesicular GABA transporter; Involved in the uptake of GABA into the synaptic vesicles. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
   
  
 0.803
glr-2
Glutamate receptor 2; L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. Required for response to mechanical and osmotic stimuli; Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family.

nmr-1
NMDA-type ionotropic glutamate receptor NMR-1; Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family.
   
  
 0.787
unc-25
Glutamic acid decarboxylase.
   
 
 0.782
unc-10
Rab-3-interacting molecule unc-10; Regulates the efficiency of a post-docking step of the release pathway. Acts after vesicle docking likely via regulating priming. May regulate the conformational changes in syntaxin. Binding of vesicles via rab-3[GTP] to Rim may signal the presence of a docked synaptic vesicle. Rim may then signal to unc-13 to change the conformation of syntaxin from the closed to the open state. Syntaxin could then engage synaptobrevin on the docked vesicle to form SNARE complexes and to prime the vesicle for release. Not required for the development or the structura [...]

rab-3
Ras-related protein Rab-3; Involved in exocytosis by regulating a late step in synaptic vesicle fusion. Could play a role in neurotransmitter release by regulating membrane flow in the nerve terminal (By similarity). Plays a role in the recruitment of endophilin unc-57 to synaptic vesicles. Probably by controlling dense-core vesicle trafficking, plays a role in the AVG neuron-mediated formation of the right axon tract of the ventral nerve cord. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family.
