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

knrlKnirps-related protein; Knirps-like (knrl) encodes an orphan nuclear hormone receptor with a C4 zinc finger motif, without ligand-binding domain. It is a target gene of the Hedgehog, Wingless and Notch signaling pathways. It controls endoreduplication domains and epithelial morphogenesis in the fore- and hindgut. (647 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
kni
Zygotic gap protein knirps; Transcriptional repressor. Binds to multiple sites in the eve stripe 3 enhancer element. Plays an essential role in the segmentation process both by refining the expression patterns of gap genes and by establishing pair-rules stripes of gene expression.

slp2
Sloppy paired 2 (slp2) encodes a transcription factor of the fork-head family. Together with the product of slp1, it regulates a wide variety of developmental processes including embryonic segmentation, ventral fate specification in the retina, and temporal patterning of the neuroblasts that produce medulla neurons.
   
 
 0.663
btl
Fibroblast growth factor receptor homolog 2; May be required for patterning of muscle precursor cells: generation of mesodermal and endodermal layers, invaginations of various types of cells, and CNS formation. Essential for the ability of the migrating tracheal and midline cells to recognize external guiding cues.
   
 
 0.529
hkb
Huckebein (hkb) is expressed in patches within the embryonic neuroectoderm and a subset of neuroblasts and their progeny, where it is required for proper neuronal specification and axon targeting. It is a terminal gap gene mediating the maternal terminal information at the posterior end of the blastoderm embryo.
   
 
 0.526
salm
Homeotic protein spalt-major; Spalt major (salm) encodes a zinc finger transcriptional repressor. It mediates most dpp functions during development of the central part of the wing through regulation of the products of kni and ara. The product of salm is required for cell specification during the development of the nervous system, muscle, eye or trachea.

CG17786
RE01338p.
      
 0.513
gt
Protein giant; Represses the expression of both the krueppel and knirps segmentation gap genes. Binds, in vitro, to the krueppel regulatory elements CD1 and CD2. It is required in the early embryo for the development of portions of the head and abdomen; Belongs to the bZIP family.
   
 
 0.511
Doc2
Dorsocross2 (Doc2) encodes one of the three tissue-specific T-box transcription factors encoded by the Dorsocross cluster. It is crucial for completion of differentiation, cell proliferation arrest and survival of amnioserosa cells, as well as for cardiogenesis and the patterning and morphogenesis of particular ectodermal derivatives.
   
 
 0.497
CG5815
Protein SPT2 homolog; Histone binding; DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: nucleosome assembly; histone exchange; regulation of chromatin assembly; regulation of transcription, DNA-templated.
    
 
 0.497
fkh
Fork head (fkh) encodes a winged-helix nuclear transcription factor most studied for its role in salivary gland formation, where it is required for salivary gland viability, invagination, and maintaining expression of other early-expressed salivary gland transcription factors. It works with the product of sage to activate expression of salivary gland specific gene products, such as secreted proteins and their modifying enzymes.
