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

GaspGasp, isoform A; Gasp (Gasp) encodes a protein involved in cuticle biosynthesis during embryonic tracheal system development. (258 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
serp
Serpentine, isoform B; Serpentine (serp) encodes a putative chitin deacetylase. It is expressed by the epidermal and tracheal cells and is secreted into the apical extracellular space. Its activity maintains the strength of cuticles and restricts tracheal tube length.
   
  
 0.975
verm
Vermiform, isoform I; Vermiform (verm) encodes a chitin deacetylase-like protein that is secreted by tracheal cells and accumulates in the embryonic tracheal lumen. Its functions include cuticle development and tracheal tube size control.
  
  
 0.975
Cda4
Chitin deacetylase-like 4; Chitin binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: chitin metabolic process; carbohydrate metabolic process.
   
  
 0.832
obst-A
Obstructor-A, isoform A; obstructor-A (obst-A) encodes a protein that forms a core complex with chitin and the chitin modifying proteins encoded by serp and knk. This complex is required for assembly, maturation and preservation of the chitinous cuticles at the end of embryogenesis and probably throughout larval development.
  
 
0.828
slf
C-type lectin 27kD, isoform A; Schlaff (slf) encodes a chitin binding protein involved in wing formation and the substrate for the product of Tg.
   
    0.790
uif
Uninflatable, isoform C; Uninflatable (uif) encodes a single pass transmembrane protein that localizes to the apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells. It is required for embryonic tracheal maturation and tracheal growth in the larva.
  
 
 0.775
CG4115
LD12305p; Carbohydrate binding.
   
    0.750
obst-B
BcDNA.GH02976; Chitin binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: chitin metabolic process.
  
  
0.662
knk
Knickkopf (knk) encodes a GPI-anchorded protein, needed for chitin organisation in the cuticle and the tracheal system (tracheal cuticle, tube diameter regulation & gas filling).
   
  
 0.638
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.
