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.

zldZelda, isoform A; Zelda (zld) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that functions in early blastoderm development. It works as a zygotic genome activator because it has a global role in regulating early expressed genes, such as genes essential for cellularization, sex determination and pattern formation. It is also required at later times in development. (1596 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
hb
Protein hunchback; Gap class segmentation protein that controls development of head structures; Belongs to the hunchback C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
   
  
 0.852
eve
Segmentation protein even-skipped; May play a role in determining neuronal identity. May be directly involved in specifying identity of individual neurons. Pair- rule protein required for segmentation; involved in transforming the broad, spatial, aperiodic expression patterns of the gap genes into a system of precise periodic expression patterns of the pair-rule and segmentary polarity genes; Belongs to the even-skipped homeobox family.
   
 
 0.827
SoxN
SoxNeuro, isoform B; SoxNeuro (SoxN) encodes an HMG-domain transcription factor. In early embryos it specifies neural progenitors in the central nervous system, while in later embryos it negatively regulates Wg signaling and controls expression of genes required for denticle construction with the product of ovo.
   
  
 0.822
sog
Dorsal-ventral patterning protein Sog; Short gastrulation (sog) encodes a secreted BMP antagonist that is expressed in the embryonic ventral neuroectoderm. sog product promotes neural development by preventing dorsally produced dpp from diffusing into the neuroectoderm and suppressing expression of neural genes. sog protein also diffuses dorsally where it helps establish a BMP activity gradient essential for partitioning that domain into cells giving rise to the dorsal epidermis versus amnioserosa.

Rpb3
RNA polymerase II 33kD subunit; DNA-directed 5'-3' RNA polymerase activity; RNA polymerase II activity; protein dimerization activity; DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: transcription by RNA polymerase II; cellular response to heat.

bnk
Protein bottleneck; Acts as a regulator of the microfilament network governing cellularization of the embryo. Determines the timing of a key conformational transition in the cortical microfilament network: the proper coordination of membrane invagination and basal closure of the cells. To do this, bnk possibly physically links neighboring contractile units of the early cycle 14 microfilament network in a manner that prevents basal constriction until the proper stage has been reached. Bnk together with nullo and Sry-alpha may provide auxiliary functions, by acting both to stabilize a la [...]

zen
Protein zerknuellt 1; Required for the differentiation of the dorsal-ventral pattern, and does not appear to be involved in the process of segmentation.
      
 0.740
twi
Twist (twi) encodes a transcription factor required for mesoderm cell fate. The product of twi is essential for gastrulation, the development of mesodermal derivatives, including somatic and visceral muscle, fat body and maintenance of muscle stem cells.
    
 
 0.735
His2Av
Histone H2A.v; Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post- translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Acts as a Polycomb group (PcG) protein required to maintain the transcriptionally repre [...]

bcd
Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction.
