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

pipHeparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase pipe; Sulfotransferase involved in dorsoventral axis patterning in early embryos. Required for the specific ventral activation of a series of proteases acting in the perivitelline space between the embryonic membrane and the eggshell. Probably acts by mediating the sulfation of some glycoprotein or glycosaminoglycan stably deposited in the egg, whose ventrally localized modification leads to spatially restricted activation of the protease cascade. (514 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CalpC
Calpain-C; Calpain C (CalpC) encodes one of four calcium-dependent cysteine proteases, but lack of conservation in the catalytic domain suggests it lacks proteolytic activity.
      
 0.626
wbl
Windbeutel (wbl) encodes a Toll signaling pathway member protein residing in the endoplasmic reticulum. It is required for the transport of the product of pip to the Golgi in ovarian follicle cells.
   
   0.622
CG5731
Alpha-galactosidase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: oligosaccharide metabolic process; glycoside catabolic process; glycosylceramide catabolic process.
   
  
 0.517
St2
Sulfotransferase 2 (St2) encodes one out of 4 sulfotransferases that catalyze the sulfonation of many proteins, lipids and glycosaminoglycans.
   
  
 0.498
CG1461
Tyrosine aminotransferase; Transaminase involved in tyrosine breakdown. Converts tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate.
      
 0.491
LanB2
Laminin B2 (LanB2) encodes a subunit of laminin, a heterotrimeric protein found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and a major component of the basal lamina. Laminins interact with a variety of cell surface molecules such as integrin receptors and other secreted ECM components. It contributes to ECM organization, tissue adhesion, cell motility and developmental patterning.
   
  
 0.448
Hsepi
Heparan sulfate C5-epimerase (Hsepi) encodes a heparan sulfate modifying enzyme, which catalyzes the C5-epimerization of glucuronic acid, converting it to iduronic acid. Hsepi loss results in minor morphological defects and lifespan reduction.
   
  
 0.441
sfl
Bifunctional heparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase; Essential bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the N- deacetylation and the N-sulfation of glucosamine (GlcNAc) of the glycosaminoglycan in heparan sulfate. Modifies the GlcNAc-GlcA disaccharide repeating sugar backbone to make N-sulfated heparosan, a prerequisite substrate for later modifications in heparin biosynthesis. Plays a role in diffusion of morphogen wingless (wg) via its role in heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) biosynthesis, HSPGs being required for movement of wg morphogens. Required for wg signaling dur [...]
   
  
 0.437
Prx3
Thioredoxin peroxidase 3; Peroxiredoxin 3 (Prx3) encodes an antioxidant protein involved in hydrogen peroxide catabolism and regulation of apoptosis.
      
 0.420
kon
Kon-tiki, isoform B; Kon-tiki (kon) (also known as perdido) encodes a single transmembrane protein required to initiate muscle-tendon attachment in a group of embryonic and adult body muscles. kon mutants are embryonic lethal with rounded ventral longitudinal muscles. It concentrates at muscle attachment sites and genetically interacts with integrins.
