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

PanxProtein panoramix; Acts via the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Required for transcriptional silencing of transposons targeted by piwi and confers its effects by interacting with nascent RNA transcripts. Likely to be recruited to nascent transcripts cotranscriptionally by piwi and to recruit additional factors involved in transcriptional silencing. In the ovaries, forms a complex with n [...] (541 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
piwi
Protein piwi; Acts via the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. In ovarian somatic cells, mediates silencing of transposable elements at the transcriptional level in a mael-dependent manner. [...]

nxf2
Nuclear RNA export factor 2; May be involved in the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the ovaries, forms a complex with nxf2, piwi and Nxt1 which acts as effectors of cotranscriptional transposon silencing. On recruitment to a target transcript, interacts with single stranded RNA, thereby anchoring the complex via the nascent target transcript to chromatin and allowing Panx to recruit silencing effectors to establishing repressive heterochromatin at transposon loci. Does not affect piRNA biogenesis. The interaction with Panx stabilizes the nuclear protein complex. Do [...]

Nxt1
NTF2-related export protein; Stimulator of protein export for NES-containing proteins (By similarity). Plays a role in the nuclear export of mRNA. Also plays a role in the nuclear export of U1 snRNA, tRNA, and mRNA (By similarity). In the ovaries, forms a complex with nxf2, Panx and piwi which acts as effectors of cotranscriptional transposon silencing.

sov
Small ovary, isoform A; Nucleic acid binding.
   
 
 0.942
ctp
Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic; Cut up (ctp) encodes the 8 kDa (LC8/DLC1) subunit of the cytoplasmic Dynein, as well as the Myosin V. It homodimerizes and binds to a variety of proteins. It is involved in both dynein-dependent and independent functions such as cell viability, axonal guidance, spermatid growth and individualization, and regulation of spermatogonial divisions; Belongs to the dynein light chain family.
    
 
 0.936
Cdlc2
Dynein light chain 2, cytoplasmic; Acts as a non-catalytic accessory component of a dynein complex.
    
 
 0.933
egg
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase eggless; Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 in ovary. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting Su(var)205/HP1 to methylated histones. Plays a central role during oogenesis; Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. Suvar3-9 subfamily.

arx
Gametocyte-specific factor 1 homolog; Acts via the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Required for repression of transposons and neighboring genes in ovarian somatic and germline cells.

aub
Protein aubergine; Acts via the piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. In ovary, associates predominantly with antisense piRNAs that contain uridine at their 5' end. In testis, associates with [...]

wde
Windei, isoform A; Windei (wde) encodes a chromatin-associated protein that functions as an essential cofactor and binding partner for the methyl transferase encoded by egg. It also binds to the chromosome 4-specific protein encoded by Pof. wde product is required for survival of female germ line cells.
