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

PGRP-SAPeptidoglycan-recognition protein SA; Peptidoglycan-recognition protein that plays a key role in innate immunity by binding to peptidoglycans (PGN) of Gram-positive bacteria and activating the Toll pathway upstream of spz activating enzyme SPE. Has no activity against Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Shows some partial redundancy with PRPGP-SD in Gram-positive bacteria recognition. May act by forming a complex with GNBP1 that activates the proteolytic cleavage of Spatzle and the subsequent activation of Toll pathway. Binds to diaminopimelic acid-type tetrapeptide PGN (DAP-type PGN) an [...] (203 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GNBP1
Gram-negative bacteria-binding protein 1; Plays a key role in innate immunity by acting as a pattern recognition receptor for beta-1,3-glucan from fungi and lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria. Upon recognition of invading micro-organism-derived products, acts upstream of protease spz processing enzyme SPE to activate the Toll pathway and to induce the expression of antimicrobial peptides drosomycin, cecropin and attacin. Belongs to the insect beta-1,3-glucan binding protein family.
   
 0.999
modSP
Modular serine protease non-catalytic chain; Serine protease that plays a key role in innate immunity by activating the Toll pathway in response to infection with Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. During Gram- positive infection, acts downstream of PGRP-SA and upstream of Grass and Spz, and therefore appears to function in a pathway that links detection of Gram-positive lysine-type peptidoglycans to Toll activation. Functions in a separate pathway to the psh-mediated activation of the Toll pathway. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
 
   
 0.982
imd
Protein immune deficiency; Essential for the imd/NF-kappa-B (Imd) humoral and epithelial immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Functions as an adapter protein that transduces immunity signals from the activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) by bacterial infection to the Imd signaling pathway. Binding of diaminopimelic acid-type (DAP-type) bacterial peptidoglycans (PGN) causes multimerization or clustering of PGRP receptors which activate the Imd cascade probably by recruiting imd, Fadd and Dredd to the receptor complex. Once in proximity, Dredd cleaves imd in a Fadd-de [...]
      
 0.944
PGRP-SC1a
Peptidoglycan-recognition protein SC1a; N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase involved in innate immunity by degrading bacterial peptidoglycans (PGN). Plays a scavenger role by digesting biologically active PGN into biologically inactive fragments. Has no direct bacteriolytic activity; Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
  
  
0.921
PGRP-SC2
Peptidoglycan recognition protein SC2 (PGRP-SC2) encodes a secreted peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) with an amidase activity against peptidoglycans. It contributes to the down-regulation of the immune deficiency pathway, notably in the fat body during systemic bacterial infection.
  
 
0.919
GNBP3
Gram-negative bacteria binding protein 3 (GNBP3) encodes a hemolymphatic protein involved in the sensing of glucan (a fungal cell wall component) upstream of the Toll pathway.
   
  
 0.915
GAA1
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor attachment 1 (GAA1) encodes a subunit of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) transamidase, which mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum. GPI anchor attachment serves as a general mechanism for linking proteins to the cell surface membrane.
   
 
 0.903
PIG-K
Putative GPI-anchor transamidase; Mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by replacing a protein's C-terminal GPI attachment signal peptide with a pre-assembled GPI. During this transamidation reaction, the GPI transamidase forms a carbonyl intermediate with the substrate protein (By similarity); Belongs to the peptidase C13 family.
   
 
 0.902
PIG-T
Phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class T; GPI-anchor transamidase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: attachment of GPI anchor to protein.
   
 
 0.872
psh
Serine protease persephone; Serine protease that plays a key role in innate immunity in response to Gram-positive bacterial and fungal proteases. Acts as a component of the Toll pathway upstream of protease spz processing enzyme SPE and Tl ligand spz. Nec regulates the cascade by inhibiting psh ; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. CLIP subfamily.
