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

PbursPartner of Bursicon (Pburs) encodes a cystine knot protein that dimerizes with the product of Burs to form the bursicon neurohormone that acts on the receptor encoded by rk. Bursicon neurohormone is released after adult emergence and is required for tanning and hardening of the cuticle and expansion of the wings. (141 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Burs
Bursicon (Burs) encodes a cystine knot protein that dimerizes with the product of Pburs to form the bursicon neurohormone. Bursicon neurohormone is released after adult emergence and acts on the receptor encoded by rk for tanning and hardening of the cuticle and expansion of the wings.

CCAP
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) encodes a conserved 9 amino acid neuropeptide. It is produced by 1-2 neurons in each segment of the ventral nervous system and is released during the shedding of the old exoskeleton (ecdysis). It also has cardioactive functions.
      
 0.895
rk
Rickets (rk) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that signals intracellularly using the second messenger cAMP. It binds the heterodimeric hormone bursicon and is developmentally important for molting-related behaviors. It is also required after adult emergence for cuticle hardening and melanization.
      
 0.840
Eh
Eclosion hormone (Eh) encodes a neurohormone involved in the control of ecdysis. At each ecdysis, the neurohormone is released into the hemolymph where it serves to potentiate the release of the product of ETH through a positive endocrine feedback loop. The product of Eh is also released into the nervous system where it contributes to turning on ecdysis.
      
 0.713
ETH
Ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) encodes two peptides (DrmETH1 and DrmETH2) involved in ecdysis. ETH depletion leads to respiratory and behavioral deficits, unsuccessful ecdysis and lethality.
   
  
 0.692
FMRFa
Corticotropin-releasing factor-like; FMRFamide (FMRFa) encodes a propeptide precursor that is processed to generate bioactive neuropeptides, many of which activate the G protein coupled receptor encoded by FMRFaR. Physiologically, FMRFa-encoded peptides contribute to neuromuscular physiology modulation and sleep regulation.
      
 0.650
ETHR
ETHR (ETHR) encodes two distinct G protein-coupled receptors through alternative splicing. During development, the receptors are essential in initiating the molt-related behaviors of ecdysis, and in adults they function to promote juvenile hormone signaling and reproduction.
      
 0.607
AstCC
Allatostatin double C, isoform C; Hormone activity.
   
  
 0.581
Lgr1
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 1 (Lgr1) encodes a Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor (LGR type A) that shows highest similarity with vertebrate glycoprotein hormone (TSH and Thyrostimulin, FSH, LH ) receptors.
      
 0.531
CCAP-R
Cardioacceleratory peptide receptor; Binds to the cardioactive peptide (CCAP), which is a neuropeptide; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Vasopressin/oxytocin receptor subfamily.
