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

AGO2Protein argonaute-2; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger; Belongs to the argonaute family. Ago subfamily. (1217 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Dcr-2
Dicer-2, isoform A; Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) encodes a member of the RNase III family of double-stranded RNA-specific endonucleases. It acts in the RNAi pathway by cutting long dsRNA into siRNAs. It helps defend flies against viral infection, particularly RNA viruses. It also processes long, partially double-stranded endogenous transcripts (hairpin RNAs) into endo-siRNAs.
   
 0.996
r2d2
R2d2, isoform A; R2d2 (r2d2) encodes a double-stranded RNA-binding protein. It interacts with the product of Dcr-2 to form the core of RISC loading complex, which recruits duplex siRNA to the RISC.
   
 0.988
Dcr-1
Endoribonuclease Dcr-1; Essential for RNA interference (RNAi); double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces potent and specific gene silencing. RNAi is mediated by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a sequence-specific, multicomponent nuclease that destroys or silences messenger RNAs homologous to the silencing trigger. May carry out the initiation step of RNAi by cleaving dsRNA to produce 22 bp dsRNAs (siRNAs) which target the selective destruction of homologous RNAs. During embryogenesis, involved in germline fate determination; Belongs to the helicase family. Dicer subfamily.

drosha
Ribonuclease; Drosha (drosha) encodes a protein that contributes to miRNA processing. It is involved in salivary gland histolysis and oocyte development.
    
 0.971
Tudor-SN
Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing protein 1; Endonuclease which shows activity towards both DNA and RNA substrates. Has a role in translation regulation throught its association with the with the RNA- induced silencing complex (RISC). Plays a role in spermatogenesis probably by negatively regulating piwi expression in the germline. Together with piwi, might be involved in transposon repression in the germline.
   
 0.968
Fmr1
Synaptic functional regulator FMR1; Polyribosome-associated RNA-binding protein that plays a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity through the regulation of protein synthesis of mRNAs. Plays a role as a negative translational regulator of specific mRNAs. Represses translation of the microtubule-associated protein futsch mRNA to regulate microtubule-dependent synaptic growth and function. May also be involved in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated translational suppression as part of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Required for stability of the central pair of microtubule [...]

vig
Vasa intronic gene (vig) encodes a protein involved in RNA interference and heterochromatin organization.
   
 0.937
Taf11
TBP-associated factor 11 (Taf11) encodes a protein that forms part of the multisubunit basal transcription factor TFIID. It enhances RNA interference efficiency, organizing the assembly of the RISC loading complex.
    
 0.936
pasha
Partner of drosha (pasha) encodes a protein involved in oogenesis and miRNA processing.
     
 0.936
AGO1
Argonaute-1, isoform A; Argonaute-1 (AGO1) encodes an Argonaute/Piwi family protein, which interacts with microRNAs to form miRNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISCs). miRISCs are guided to target and repress mRNAs either by transcript destabilisation, translational inhibition, or both.
