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

SAKSerine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4; Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a central role in centriole duplication. Able to trigger procentriole formation on the surface of the mother centriole cylinder, using mother centriole as a platform, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins such as Sas-6. When overexpressed, it is able to induce centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each parental centriole during S phase. Centrosome amplification following overexpression can initiate tumorigenesis, highlighting [...] (769 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
asl
Asterless (asl) encodes a component of the centriole that is required for centrosome function. It contributes to asymmetric cell division, sperm development and centriole replication and elongation.
   
 
 0.997
Sas-4
Spindle assembly abnormal 4 (Sas-4) encodes a centriole protein that is essential for centriole assembly. It is recruited to centrioles through an interaction with the centriole protein encoded by ana2, and it helps recruit microtubules to the centriole.
   
 
 0.993
Sas-6
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 homolog; Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry. Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication. In ciliated neurons, required for centriole assembly but not necessary for cilium basal body and cilia function. Required for sperm cilium basal body elongation together with Cep135 and Ana2.
   
 
 0.991
Cep135
Centrosomal protein 135kDa (Cep135) encodes a microtubule binding protein important for centriole elongation and stability. It promotes centrosome asymmetry and spindle orientation in neuroblasts and it is required for male fertility.
   
 
 0.991
spd-2
Spindle defective 2 (spd-2) encodes a centriole and centrosome protein that is primarily involved in centrosome assembly. Together with the product of cnn, it helps to assemble a "scaffold" around the mother centriole that can recruit other centrosomal proteins to the centrosome during mitosis.
   
 
 0.989
ana2
Anastral spindle 2 (ana2) encodes a centriole protein that is essential for centriole assembly, promoting the assembly of the central "cartwheel" structure. It may also have an independent role in promoting asymmetric divisions in larval neuroblasts.
    
 
 0.989
Sse
LD08709p; Separase (Sse) encodes an endoprotease. Together with the product of thr, it forms a complex which cleaves a subunit of the cohesin complex during meiosis, thereby allowing separation of the sister chromatids.
   
 
 0.982
slmb
Supernumerary limbs (slmb) encodes an essential, conserved F-box protein and a component of the SCF (Skp/Cullin/F-box) E3 ubiquitin-ligase, providing substrate specificity to the SCF. It negatively regulates multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes by promoting the proteasome-mediated degradation or cleavage of its targets, including the products of arm and ci (Wg and Hh signaling), SAK, per and Cap-H2.
   
 
 0.975
polo
Serine/threonine-protein kinase polo; May play a role in regulating both nuclear and cytoplasmic aspects of the mitotic cycle. Regulates localization of the augmin complex during mitosis by ensuring its location on mitotic spindles. Also regulates augmin complex localization during male meiosis by promoting its placement at kinetochores while preventing its association with spindle microtubules ; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.
  
0.962
Cp110
Centriolar coiled coil protein 110kDa (Cp110) encodes a centriolar protein that localizes to the distal end of both mother and daughter centrioles. It seems to prevent the centriole microtubules from extending beyond the distal end of the centriole. It interacts with the product of Cep97, another protein localized to the distal end of the centrioles.
