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

otuProtein ovarian tumor locus; Essential for female fertility; germ cell division and differentiation. (853 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
osk
Maternal effect protein oskar; Organizes the germ plasm and directs localization of the posterior determinant nanos. Oskar protein is required to keep nos RNA and staufen protein at the posterior pole.
   
  
 0.967
yl
Putative vitellogenin receptor; Involved in uptake of vitellogenin by endocytosis.
   
  
 0.962
alphaTub67C
Tubulin alpha-4 chain; alpha-Tubulin at 67C (alphaTub67C) encodes a protein that form heterodimers with beta-tubulins to polymerise and form microtubules. Tubulin molecules containing the product of alphaTub67C are essential for fast growth of the microtubules during the initial cleavage divisions of embryogenesis.

bam
Bag of marbles (bam) encodes a protein involved in gametogenesis that is associated with the fusome, a germ cell-specific organelle. It contributes to the fate determination of germline stem cells, in which bam is negatively regulated by the BMP signaling pathway.
   
 
 0.874
hfp
Poly(U)-binding-splicing factor half pint; Splicing factor that regulates oogenesis and controls both mitosis and mRNA localization in the germline by regulating mRNA splicing of a subset of genes within the ovary. Probably acts by regulating the alternative splice site selection of the otu transcript. Also regulates the alternative splicing of eIF4E1 and grk, while it is not involved in the splicing of par-1, sqd and psq. Belongs to the RRM half pint family.
    
 
 0.865
dhd
Thioredoxin-1; Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. As a reducing substrate of peroxiredoxin 1, thioredoxin 2 is preferred over thioredoxin 1. Required for female meiosis and early embryonic development.
   
 
 0.856
Pxt
Chorion peroxidase; Peroxinectin-like (Pxt) encodes a cycloxygenase-like enzyme that contributes to the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins activate G protein-coupled receptor signaling. Its roles include oogenesis, sperm individualization, morphogenesis, nucleolar structure, temporal control of gene expression, and regulation of gene amplification; Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
   
    0.848
fs(1)M3
Female sterile (1) M3 (fs(1)M3) encodes a protein that is required, along with the products of fs(1)N and clos, for their accumulation at the vitelline membrane and function in vitelline membrane integrity and Torso receptor activation.
   
    0.845
gnu
CG5272 protein; Giant nuclei (gnu) encodes a regulatory subunit of the PNG kinase complex, which regulates the levels of the protein encoded by CycB. Members of this complex are required maternally for the normal nuclear divisions of the syncytial embryo.
   
    0.844
mtrm
Protein matrimony; Polo kinase inhibitor required to maintain G2 arrest in the meiotic cell cycle in females. Holds heterochromatically paired homologs together from the end of pachytene until metaphase I. Haploinsufficient locus for homologous achiasmate segregation and may be required for the maintenance of heterochromatic pairings.
