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.

ActnAlpha-actinin, sarcomeric; Alpha actinin (Actn) encodes an actin cross-linking protein with muscle and non-muscle specific isoforms, which are produced by alternative spicing. The muscle isoform has a role in muscle development while the non-muscle isoform localizes to ovarian ring canals and has a role in cytoskeletal remodeling of follicle cells; Belongs to the alpha-actinin family. (917 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Zasp52
Z band alternatively spliced PDZ-motif protein 52 (Zasp52) encodes a member of the Zasp protein family. It is a scaffold protein that binds the product of Actn and localizes to muscle attachment sites and Z-discs in muscle cells, as well as localizing cortically in non-muscle cells. It plays a role in muscle development, especially in myofibril assembly.

Vinc
Vinculin (Vinc) encodes a key mechanoeffector of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. It binds to the products of rhea and alpha-Cat, when they are stretched by force, and links them to actin. Vinc mutant flies are viable and fertile although mild defects have been documented in muscle attachment and heart function; Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.

CaMKII
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) encodes an abundant Ca[2+]-calmodulin-regulated serine/threonine protein kinase. In neurons it has a wide range of substrates in multiple subcellular compartments, regulating synaptic plasticity, excitability and cytoskeletal interactions.
   
 0.961
Prm
Paramyosin, long form; Paramyosin (Prm) encodes a muscle protein found only in invertebrates. It dimerizes into a coiled-coil that occupies the interior of the thick filament. Its role is thought to be structural, although it can be phosphorylated and this is important for muscle function.

up
Troponin T, skeletal muscle; Upheld (up) encodes the striated muscle protein Troponin T. Troponins T, C and I form a regulatory complex with Tropomyosin that is found at regular intervals along the thin (F-actin) filaments of the muscle sarcomere.

sls
Titin; Key component in the assembly and functioning of adult and embryonic striated muscles and muscle tendons. By providing connections at the level of individual microfilaments, it contributes to the fine balance of forces between the two halves of the sarcomere. The size and extensibility of the cross-links are the main determinants of sarcomere extensibility properties of muscle. In non-muscle cells, seems to play a role in chromosome condensation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Might link the lamina network to chromatin or nuclear actin, or both during interphase.

Tm2
Tropomyosin-2; Tropomyosin, in association with the troponin complex, plays a central role in the calcium dependent regulation of muscle contraction. May also regulate motor systems required to maintain nuclear integrity and apico-basal polarity during embryogenesis.

Act79B
Actin, larval muscle; Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells; Belongs to the actin family.
   
 0.913
parvin
Parvin, isoform A; Parvin (parvin) encodes a Calponin-homology protein that, together with the products of Ilk and stck, reinforces integrin-matrix adhesion at muscle attachment sites in the developing embryo. The product of parvin contributes to cell adhesion and actin cytoskeleton organisation in muscles, wing and eye epithelial cells.

TpnC41C
Troponin C at 41C (TpnC41C) is expressed predominantly in the pupal and adult tubular muscles, with minor amounts in the flight muscle. The encoded protein binds calcium to regulate muscle contraction. Its absence in tubular muscle is compensated by up-regulation of the product of TpnC4.
