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

hidCell death protein hid; Activator of apoptosis, with grim and rpr, that acts on the effector Dredd. Seems to act genetically upstream of baculoviral anti-apoptotic p35. Blocks Diap2 from binding and inactivating the effector caspase Drice. (410 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Diap1
Death-associated inhibitor of apoptosis 1; Anti-apoptotic protein which functions as a caspase regulator, using its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity to smother caspase activity. Binds, ubiquitinates and inactivates initiator caspase Dronc, and effector caspases Drice and Dcp-1. Acts as a Nedd8- E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase for Drice. Suppresses apoptosis by targeting the apoptosome for ubiquitination and inactivation. Plays an important role in cell motility. Overexpression suppresses rpr and hid- dependent cell death in the eye. Interaction of Diap1 with Dronc is required to suppre [...]

rl
Mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK-A; Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway to regulate poliferation, differentiation and effect cell fate decisions in various tissues. Required downstream of phl/Raf in the sev/sevenless, tor/torso, and EGF receptor homolog Egfr signal transduction pathways. Required for embryonic epithelial tissue repair. During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis.
    
  0.965
Dronc
Caspase Nc subunit 1; Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Effector of steroid-mediated apoptosis during insect metamorphosis. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death. Interaction with Diap1 is required to suppress Dronc-mediated cell death; via Diap1-mediated ubiquitination of Dronc. Rate-limiting caspase in rpr and hid death pathway.
    
   0.835
Drice
Caspase subunit p12; Death related ICE-like caspase (Drice) encodes a major effector apoptotic caspase. It is essential for both developmental and damaged induced cell death, as well as several non-apoptotic vital cellular processes. It is activated by the product of Dark and the initiator caspase encoded by Dronc and is inhibited by the inhibitor of apoptosis encoded by Diap1; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
    
   0.783
Egfr
Epidermal 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 [...]
    
   0.665
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.
    
   0.665
p53
P53 protein long form variant 1; P53 (p53) encodes a transcriptional factor required for adaptive responses to genotoxic stress, including cell death, compensatory proliferation and DNA repair.
    
 
 0.628
Diap2
Death-associated inhibitor of apoptosis 2; Required for activation of NF-kappaB transcription factors in the immune deficiency (Imd) signaling cascade which is essential for innate immune responses upon infection by Gram-negative bacteria. Promotes cytoplasmic cleavage of Rel and its translocation to the nucleus where it drives expression of antimicrobial peptides. Binds, polyubiquitinates and activates Dredd which is required for Rel- mediated induction of antimicrobial peptides. Anti- apoptotic protein which binds, ubiquitinates and inactivates the effector caspase Drice. Suppresses [...]
    
   0.612
Dark
Death-associated APAF1-related killer, isoform B; Death-associated APAF1-related killer (Dark) encodes an essential component of the apoptosome. The products of Dark and Dronc form a pivotal holoenzyme required for apoptotic cell death with the products of Dark acting as an adaptor of the multimeric complex.
    
   0.600
Uba1
Ubiquitin activating enzyme 1 (Uba1) encodes an E1 enzyme involved in protein ubiquitylation. It contributes to multiple processes including regulation of Ras-ERK signaling, autophagy, apoptosis and tissue growth; Belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family.
