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

VincVinculin (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. (961 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Pax
Paxillin, isoform F; Paxillin (Pax) encodes an adaptor protein that is generally associated with integrins. It is not required for most integrin-mediated adhesion or migration events, but is required for viability beyond pupal stages. It controls the size of some muscles by regulating the rate of cell fusion.
   
 0.999
rhea
Rhea, isoform B; Rhea (rhea) encodes fly talin, a large adaptor protein that is essential for all adhesive functions of integrins. It also has at least one role independent of integrins: repressing shg transcription in follicle cells.
   
 0.999
Ilk
Integrin linked kinase (Ilk) encodes a pseudokinase that, together with the products of stck and parvin, mediates part of the adhesive functions of integrins.
   
 
 0.984
shg
DE-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. In connecting cells they preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. During oogenesis, integral component of the guidance mechanisms that regulate the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Functions downstream of the two chemoattractant receptors, Pvr and Egfr, to promote BC adhesion between the leader cells of the migrating cluster and the surroundi [...]

Zyx
Zyx102.44 isoform; Zyxin (Zyx) encodes an actin cytoskeleton regulator found at cell-matrix junctions and cell-cell adherens junctions. Its roles include mechanotransduction and regulation of the Hippo signaling pathway.
   
 
 0.979
Fak
Focal adhesion kinase (Fak) encodes a non-Receptor Tyrosine kinase (nRTK) that is involved in signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics integrating signals from RTKs and integrins. Its function has been described in multiple contexts including embryonic muscle attachement, morphogensis of the optic stalk, synaptic growth and transmission, and in the regulation of RTK-MAP kinase signaling in epithelia.
    
 
 0.978
p130CAS
p130CAS, isoform D; p130CAS (p130CAS) encodes an SH3 domain-containing protein phosphorylated by Src kinases. It contributes to integrin-mediated adhesion and in vertebrate cells is phosphorylated in response to mechanical stretch.
    
 
 0.974
stck
LIM domain-containing protein; Steamer duck (stck) encodes PINCH, an adapter protein that directly binds and forms a complex with the products of Ilk and ics. PINCH is required for integrin-dependent cell adhesion and signaling.
      
 0.969
cno
Canoe, isoform E; Canoe (cno) encodes a scaffold protein in adherens junctions that is involved in morphogenesis in a variety of tissues.
    
 
 0.961
Actn
Alpha-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.
