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

EgfrEpidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...] (1426 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Cbl
Cbl proto-oncogene (Cbl) encodes an E3 protein-ubiquitin ligase for protein post-translational modification in RTK signaling (EGFR, VEGFR, FGF, and RET families) and non-RTK signaling (Src family). After the ubiquitination mediated by the product of Cbl, the substrates will be targeted to protein degradation for controlling cell growth, survival, migration and inflammation.

spi
Protein spitz; Ligand for the EGF receptor (Gurken). Involved in a number of unrelated developmental choices, for example, dorsal-ventral axis formation, glial migration, sensory organ determination, and muscle development. It is required for photoreceptor determination.
   
 0.999
drk
Protein enhancer of sevenless 2B; Downstream of receptor kinase (drk) encodes an adaptor protein that recognizes phosphorylated tyrosine residues of membrane receptors and triggers the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway. drk product contributes to the regulation of cytoskeletal organization and participates in developmental and cognitive processes (associative learning, anesthesia resistant memory).
    
 0.999
Shc
SHC-adaptor protein (Shc) encodes a protein involved in receptor tyrosine kinase signalling. It regulates anti-parasitoid immune response and tracheal development.
    
 0.998
kek1
Kekkon 1 (kek1) encodes a transmembrane protein that acts in a negative feedback loop to modulate the activity of the product of Egfr in a number of tissues, including follicle cells and imaginal discs. It also plays a role in axonal outgrowth in the central nervous system.
   
 0.995
aos
Protein giant-lens; Regulates cell determination; development of ommatidia and optic lobe. Is a signaling molecule involved in the process of axon pathfinding in the eye. Part of the Ras pathway regulating programmed cell death in pupal eyes; activated by lozenge (lz). Antagonist for the Egfr receptor (gurken). Inhibits Egfr signaling without interacting directly with the receptor, but instead by sequestering the Egfr- activating ligand spitz (spi).
   
 0.994
vn
Vein (vn) encodes a secreted neuregulin-like EGFR ligand. It has weaker intrinsic activity, and a lower receptor affinity, than the TGFalpha-like ligand encoded by spi. It has roles in growth and patterning of tissues including muscle, midgut, ovary, trachea, glia, eye, leg, and wing.
    
 0.994
Ras85D
Ras-like protein 1; Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity (By similarity). Plays a role in eye development by regulating cell growth, survival of postmitotic ommatidial cells and differentiation of photoreceptor cells. During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis.
    
 0.993
grk
Protein gurken; Critical for defining the anterior-posterior and dorsal- ventral axes of the egg. May signal directly to dorsal follicle cells through the receptor torpedo (top). During oogenesis this signaling pathway instructs follicle cells to follow a dorsal pathway of development rather than the default ventral pathway.
   
 0.992
Eps-15
Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate clone 15 (Eps-15) encodes a multi-domain adaptor protein involved in endocytosis. It interacts with several other endocytic factors such as those encoded by shi, stnB, Dap160 and AP-2alpha. It is enriched at sites of endocytosis and is required for normal synaptic bouton development and vesicle endocytosis during high frequency stimulation.
