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

l(1)scAchaete-scute complex protein T3; AS-C proteins are involved in the determination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. (257 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
da
Daughterless (da) encodes a class I bHLH protein important for sex determination and dosage compensation by controlling the feminizing switch gene Sxl. It participates in transcriptional regulation of a wide variety processes, including oogenesis, neurogenesis, myogenesis and cell proliferation.
   
 
 0.913
ac
Achaete-scute complex protein T5; Achaete (ac) encodes a BHLH transcription factor that interacts antagonistically with the Notch signaling pathway to promote neural precursor formation. Its major role is in nervous system development.
  
 
0.899
sc
Achaete-scute complex protein T4; AS-C proteins are involved in the determination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Also involved in sex determination and dosage compensation.
  
 
0.890
Brd
Bearded (Brd) encodes a member of the Bearded family, which are small proteins containing predicted basic amphipathic alpha-helical domains in their N-terminal regions. The product of Brd is involved in Notch signaling pathway regulation and cell fate specification.
   
  
 0.890
Ilp4
Insulin-like peptide 4 (Ilp4) encodes a protein involved in larval feeding behavior; Belongs to the insulin family.
   
    0.841
ato
Protein atonal; Developmental protein involved in neurogenesis. Required for the formation of chordotonal organs and photoreceptors. Seems to bind to E boxes. Specifically required for the photoreceptor R8 selection.
  
  
 0.766
dpn
Protein deadpan; Transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription. In the larval brain, required to maintain the self- renewal and identity of type II neuroblasts by regulating the expression of the transcriptional repressor erm together with other self-renewal transcriptional repressors such as klu and E(spl)mgamma- HLH. As part of its role in neuroblasts development, has been shown to be a direct target of the Notch signaling pathway, however might work also independently of N/Notch. In the developing larval and pupal brain, required for mushroom [...]

E(spl)m8-HLH
Enhancer of split m8 protein; Participates in the control of cell fate choice by uncommitted neuroectodermal cells in the embryo. Transcriptional repressor. Binds DNA on N-box motifs: 5'-CACNAG-3'. Part of the Notch signaling pathway.
   
 
 0.724
cato
Cousin of atonal (cato) encodes a transcription factor involved in the development of the sensory nervous system.
  
  
 0.693
ase
Achaete-scute complex protein T8; Asense (ase) encodes a transcription factor in the achaete-scute complex. It acts together with other proneural genes in nervous system development, which involves N-mediated lateral inhibition. ase is expressed in the CNS type-I neuroblasts and the PNS sensory organ precursors (SOPs) but not in the proneural clusters that give rise to the SOP via lateral inhibition.
