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

plePale (ple) encodes a tyrosine hydroxylase, the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine (and eventually, melanin). Dopamine has critical roles in system development. (579 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ddc
Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Variation in the synthesis of bioamines may be a factor contributing to natural variation in life span. Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.
   
 0.990
Pcd
4-alpha-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process.
  
 0.987
Tdc2
Tyrosine decarboxylase activity; carboxy-lyase activity; pyridoxal phosphate binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: oviposition; locomotor rhythm; behavioral response to cocaine; cellular amino acid metabolic process; locomotory behavior.
   
 
 0.973
Got2
Aspartate aminotransferase; Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 2 (Got2) encodes an L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase involved in glutamate biosynthesis, which in turn regulates postsynaptic receptor field size.
  
 
 0.955
Got1
Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 1 (Got1) encodes an L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase involved in glutamate biosynthesis.
  
 
 0.955
Sptr
Sepiapterin reductase (Sptr) encodes a sepiapterin reductase involved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin.
    
 0.947
Dhpr
NADH binding; NADPH binding; 6,7-dihydropteridine reductase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process; L-phenylalanine catabolic process.
  
 0.946
CG12116
RE21057p; Sepiapterin reductase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process.
    
 0.935
Trh
Tryptophan hydroxylase (Trh) encodes an enzyme that functions as the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin.
  
 
0.935
amd
3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase; Catalyzes both the decarboxylation and deamination of L-dopa to 3,4-dihydroxylphenylacetaldehyde (DHPAA). Probably responsible for the protein cross-linking during the development of flexible cuticles. Participates in catecholamine catabolism.
