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

vndHomeobox protein vnd; Ventral nervous system defective (vnd) encodes a Nk2-class homeodomain transcription factor that acts in a context-dependent manner as an activator or repressor. It has roles in neuroectoderm patterning, formation and specification of ventral neuroblasts and proper development of their cell lineages. (723 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
gro
Groucho (gro) encodes a global developmental co-repressor in conjunction with manifold DNA-binding repressor partner proteins, which tether it to target promoters. It functions downstream of key signaling pathways such as Wg/Wnt and Dpp/TGF-beta. Notably, phosphorylation of the product of gro in response to MAPK activation weakens its repressor capacity.
    
 
 0.824
sog
Dorsal-ventral patterning protein Sog; Short gastrulation (sog) encodes a secreted BMP antagonist that is expressed in the embryonic ventral neuroectoderm. sog product promotes neural development by preventing dorsally produced dpp from diffusing into the neuroectoderm and suppressing expression of neural genes. sog protein also diffuses dorsally where it helps establish a BMP activity gradient essential for partitioning that domain into cells giving rise to the dorsal epidermis versus amnioserosa.
      
 0.815
brk
Putative transcription factor; Brinker (brk) encodes a transcriptional repressor that plays important roles in the development of many tissues, including most imaginal discs, where its expression is negatively regulated by Dpp signaling.
      
 0.797
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.
   
 
 0.722
twi
Twist (twi) encodes a transcription factor required for mesoderm cell fate. The product of twi is essential for gastrulation, the development of mesodermal derivatives, including somatic and visceral muscle, fat body and maintenance of muscle stem cells.
      
 0.710
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.
   
 
 0.703
HGTX
GTX/Nkx6B-like homeodomain protein; HGTX (HGTX) encodes a homeodomain transcription factor that acts in parallel with the product of exex to promote the development and differentiation of motor neurons that innervate ventral body wall muscles. Its major roles include neuronal specification and differentiation.
   
  
0.678
sna
Snail (sna) encodes a transcription factor that contributes to embryonic mesoderm development, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and asymmetric cell division.
      
 0.670
D1
D1 chromosomal protein (D1) encodes a multi-AT-hook chromosomal protein that associates with AT-rich satellites, including the SAT-III repeats of the X-chromosome. The product of D1 binds to the minor-groove of the DNA and favors heterochromatin-mediated gene repression involving its interaction with topoisomerase II.
   
 
 0.663
tup
Tailup, isoform A; Tailup (tup) encodes a transcription factor that regulates neuronal sub-type identity, including motor, serotonergic and dopaminergic neuron identity. It regulates germ band retraction, dorsal closure, muscle and heart development.
