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

zyg-12Zygote defective protein 12; Cytoskeletal linker protein, which is essential for attachment of the centrosome to the nucleus. Required for dynein localization to the nuclear envelope. Forms a LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex together with unc-84, that may be involved in DNA damage repair ; Belongs to the hook family. (777 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sun-1
Sun domain-containing protein 1; Involved in centrosome attachment to the nucleus. Required for zyg-12 localization to the nuclear envelope. Together with pot-1, it is required to anchor telomeres to the nuclear envelope in embryos.

dli-1
Dynein light intermediate chain; Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. May play a role in binding dynein to membranous organelles or chromosomes.

unc-84
Nuclear migration and anchoring protein unc-84; Involved in nuclear migration and anchoring in hypodermal precursor cells. Most likely recruits anc-1 to the nuclear envelope where anc-1 functions to tether the nucleus to the actin cytoskeleton. Component of the unc-83-unc-84 LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex where it recruits and interacts with unc-83 to form a bridge connecting the nuclear envelope to the cytoskeleton which allows for nuclear transport along microtubules. Its role in nuclear migration may be in association with lamin, lmn-1. Regulates nuclear mi [...]

unc-83
Nuclear migration protein unc-83; Cargo-specific adapter that is involved in nuclear migration during development and thereafter. Component of the unc-83-unc-84 LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex where it interacts with unc-84 to form a bridge connecting the nuclear envelope to the cytoskeleton which allows for nuclear transport along microtubules. Within the complex, connects the nuclear envelope to the microtubule cytoskeleton through the kinesin-1 light chain protein klc-2 (most likely within the Kinesin 1 motor complex) to regulate nuclear migrations. Moreover [...]

plk-2
Serine/threonine-protein kinase plk-2; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which plays a role, during oogenesis, in chromosome pairing and synapsis, by facilitating the recruitment and attachment of meiotic chromosomes to the nuclear envelope during prophase. Regulates the formation of sun-1 patches along the nuclear envelope. Promotes meiotic nuclei apoptosis in response to chromosomal asynapsis. Plays a redundant role with plk-1 in the establishment of cell polarity downstream of mex-5 and mex-6 during the first embryonic cell divisions. Plays a role in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor- [...]

chk-2
Serine/threonine-protein kinase chk-2; Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is required for checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest, activation of DNA repair and apoptosis in response to the presence of DNA double-strand breaks. May also negatively regulate cell cycle progression during unperturbed cell cycles. Phosphorylates and inhibits cdc25 phosphatase, preventing entry into mitosis. Required for nuclear reorganization and homologous chromosome pairing during meiotic prophase.
   
 
 0.842
anc-1
Nuclear anchorage protein 1; Plays a central role in nuclear and mitochondrial anchoring. Probably connects nuclei to the cytoskeleton by interacting with unc-84 at the nuclear envelope and with F-actin in the cytoplasm, creating a bridge across the nuclear envelope between the cytoskeleton and the nucleus. Has a role in positioning of the cell body of the PVQ lumbar interneuron. Belongs to the nesprin family.
