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

wlsProtein wntless; A segment polarity gene required for wingless (wg)-dependent patterning processes, acting in both wg-sending cells and wg-target cells. In non-neuronal cells wls directs wg secretion. The wls traffic loop encompasses the Golgi, the cell surface, an endocytic compartment and a retrograde route leading back to the Golgi, and involves clathrin-mediated endocytosis and the retromer complex (a conserved protein complex consisting of Vps35 and Vps26). In neuronal cells (the larval motorneuron NMJ), the wg signal moves across the synapse via the release of wls-containing exos [...] (594 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
wg
Protein wingless; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Segment polarity protein. May be a growth factor. Acts on neighboring cells to regulate at least one gene, the homeobox segmentation gene engrailed. Wg signal represses arm phosphorylation. Wg signaling operates by inactivating the sgg repression of engrailed autoactivation. Wg and Wnt2 have a role in the developing trachea and together are responsible for all dorsal trunk formation. Wg also acts in the developing epidermis. Acts as a morphogen, [...]

Wnt5
Protein Wnt-5; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters. May have a role in limb and CNS development; may be a downstream target of Dll that acts in the specification of these primordia; Belongs to the Wnt family.
   
 0.961
Snx3
Sorting nexin 3 (Snx3) encodes a protein involved in the secretion of the morphogen encoded by wg. It regulates the retromer-dependent recycling of the transmembrane cargo encoded by wls.
   
 0.950
Wnt2
Protein Wnt-2; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Segment polarity protein. May function in gonadogenesis and limb development. Wg and Wnt2 have a role in the developing trachea and together are responsible for all dorsal trunk formation.
    
 0.920
Wnt4
Protein Wnt-4; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Acts downstream of homeotic complex genes in the visceral mesoderm and is required for embryonic segmentation. Also required for cell movement and FAK regulation during ovarian morphogenesis.
    
 0.920
wntD
Wnt inhibitor of Dorsal protein; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Belongs to the Wnt family.
    
 0.910
Vps35
Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (Vps35) encodes a component of the retromer complex that acts to recycle membrane proteins to the Golgi or plasma membrane from endocytosed vesicles.
   
 0.908
Wnt6
Wnt oncogene analog 6 (Wnt6) encodes a member of the Wnt family that can activate canonical Wnt signaling. It is expressed in the dorsal/ventral boundary of the wing and the maxillary palp. It contributes to maxillary palp formation.
    
 0.906
Vps29
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 29; Acts as component of the retromer cargo-selective complex (CSC). The CSC is believed to be the core functional component of retromer or respective retromer complex variants acting to prevent missorting of selected transmembrane cargo proteins into the lysosomal degradation pathway.
     
 0.867
Wnt10
Wnt oncogene analog 10 (Wnt10) encodes a member of the Wnt protein family with unknown function; Belongs to the Wnt family.
