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

MaxMax (Max) encodes a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix-zipper family of transcription factors. It specifically forms heterodimers with the products of Myc and Mnt enabling the binding and transcriptional activity of the heterodimeric complex, which regulate genes involved in cell and organismal growth. (161 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Myc
Myc protein; Participates in the regulation of gene transcription. Binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence CAC[GA]TG. Seems to activate the transcription of growth-related genes; required for cellular proliferation and growth. Functions in the TORC2-mediated regulation of cell growth, acting downstream of the TORC2 complex. Inhibits the demethylase activity of Lid. Activates transcription of mbm. Has a role in ribosome biogenesis and endoreplication in fat body cells by activating the transcription of LTV1. Able to induce the SCF E3 ubiqui [...]

Mnt
Mnt, isoform I; Mnt (Mnt) encodes a protein that belongs to the basic-helic-loop-helix-zipper class of transcription factors, which form heterodimers with the protein encoded by Max. Mnt product acts as a repressor of transcription by recruiting a co-repressor complex to its genomic binding sites. It antagonizes cell growth promoting functions of the product encoded by Myc and its depletion produces flies with larger cells, increased weight, and decreased lifespan.

org-1
Optomotor-blind-related-gene-1, isoform A; Optomotor-blind-related-gene-1 (org-1) encodes a T-box transcription factor involved in the combinatorial activation of somatic muscle lineage-specific targets.
     
  0.900
RYBP
Ring and YY1 Binding Protein (RYBP) encodes a ubiquitin interacting protein. It interacts with epigenetic regulators of the Polycomb and trithorax groups to control post-translational histone modifications. The product of RYBP is involved in regulation of the innate immune response and cell death/cell survival, and the control of morphogenesis.

Sfmbt
Polycomb protein Sfmbt; Polycomb group (PcG) protein that binds to the Polycomb response elements (PREs) found in the regulatory regions of many genes. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. They probably act via the methylation of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Necessary but not sufficient to recruit a functional Pc [...]

E2f1
Transcription factor E2f1; Transcriptional activator that binds to E2f sites. Required for wild-type growth in mitotic and polytene tissues, Contributes to the expression of replication genes at the G1-S transition and Cyclin E. Activates cell proliferation in wing imaginal disk, which requires expression of vg; Belongs to the E2F/DP family.
    
 0.732
Nipped-A
Transcription-associated protein 1; Part of the Tip60 chromatin-remodeling complex which is involved in DNA repair. Upon induction of DNA double- strand breaks, this complex acetylates phosphorylated H2AV in nucleosomes and exchanges it with unmodified H2AV. During wing development, required for activity of Notch and its coactivator mam. Function in promoting mam function is likely to involve both the Tip60 and SAGA complexes.
    
 
 0.714
Sin3A
Sin3A, isoform G; Sin3A (Sin3A) encodes a chromatin regulator with roles during muscle development, cell migration and Wnt signalling regulation.
    
 
 0.698
Sce
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING1; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates monoubiquitination of 'Lys-118' of histone H2A, thereby playing a central role in histone code and gene regulation. H2A 'Lys-118' ubiquitination gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. PcG [...]

Dp
Transcription factor Dp; Component of the DREAM complex, a multiprotein complex that can both act as a transcription activator or repressor depending on the context. In follicle cells, the complex plays a central role in the site-specific DNA replication at the chorion loci. During development, the complex represses transcription of developmentally controlled E2F target genes. Can stimulate E2F-dependent transcription.
