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

mei-9DNA repair endonuclease XPF; Implicated in recombination events during meiosis, mostly in meiotic exchange. May directly resolve Holliday junctions within recombination intermediates leading to DNA exchange. Also required for the repair of mismatches within meiotic heteroduplex DNA and for nucleotide excision repair. (961 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ercc1
Nucleotide excision repair protein ERCC1; Ercc1 (Ercc1) encodes the non-catalytic partner of the nuclease encoded by mei-9 that cuts structures formed during DNA repair. The mei-9-Ercc1 heterodimer interacts with the product of mus312 to make meiotic crossovers. The functions of the product of Ercc1 include repair of UV-induced DNA damage, repair of base adducts, a backup pathway for mismatch repair and meiotic recombination.

mus312
Structure-specific endonuclease subunit SLX4; Regulatory subunit that interacts with and increases the activity of different structure-specific endonucleases. Has several distinct roles in protecting genome stability by resolving diverse forms of deleterious DNA structures originating from replication and recombination intermediates and from DNA damage (By similarity). Component of the SLX1-SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease that resolves DNA secondary structures generated during DNA repair and recombination. Has endonuclease activity towards branched DNA substrates, introducing sing [...]

mus81
EG:BACR7A4.16 protein; Mus81 (mus81) encodes the catalytic subunit of the Mus81-mms4 structure-selective endonuclease that functions in DNA repair.
   
 
 0.995
Blm
Bloom syndrome helicase (Blm) encodes a protein that plays important roles in repairing replication fork damage and double-strand breaks. It promotes repair through non-crossover mechanisms, though it also has roles in meiotic recombination.

Xpac
DNA repair protein complementing XP-A cells homolog; Involved in DNA excision repair. Initiates repair by binding to damaged sites with various affinities, depending on the photoproduct and the transcriptional state of the region (By similarity). Belongs to the XPA family.

hdm
Protein hold'em; Single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for meiosis. May be involved in the resolution of recombination intermediates into crossovers in the meiotic recombination pathway.

mus201
Mutagen-sensitive 201 (mus201) encodes a protein involved in UV-damage excision repair.

mei-41
Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR; Serine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling upon genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or DNA replication stalling, thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]- Q. Phosphorylates various proteins, which collectively inhibits DNA replication and mitosis and promotes DNA repair and recombination. Phosphorylates grp/CHK1. Phosphorylates 'Ser-137' of histone variant H2AX/H2AV at sites of DNA damage, thereby regulating DNA damage response mechanism. [...]

Top3alpha
DNA topoisomerase 3-alpha; Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA introduced during the DNA replication and transcription by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA-(5'-phosphotyrosyl)- enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 3'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand than undergoes passage around the unbroken strand thus removing DNA supercoils [...]

Xpc
DNA repair protein complementing XP-C cells homolog; Involved in DNA excision repair. May play a part in DNA damage recognition and/or in altering chromatin structure to allow access by damage-processing enzymes (By similarity).
