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

snaSnail (sna) encodes a transcription factor that contributes to embryonic mesoderm development, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and asymmetric cell division. (390 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
shg
DE-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. In connecting cells they preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. During oogenesis, integral component of the guidance mechanisms that regulate the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Functions downstream of the two chemoattractant receptors, Pvr and Egfr, to promote BC adhesion between the leader cells of the migrating cluster and the surroundi [...]

CtBP
C-terminal-binding protein; Corepressor targeting diverse transcription regulators. Hairy-interacting protein required for embryonic segmentation and hairy-mediated transcriptional repression; Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family.
    
 
 0.950
twi
Twist (twi) encodes a transcription factor required for mesoderm cell fate. The product of twi is essential for gastrulation, the development of mesodermal derivatives, including somatic and visceral muscle, fat body and maintenance of muscle stem cells.
   
  
 0.888
sog
Dorsal-ventral patterning protein Sog; Short gastrulation (sog) encodes a secreted BMP antagonist that is expressed in the embryonic ventral neuroectoderm. sog product promotes neural development by preventing dorsally produced dpp from diffusing into the neuroectoderm and suppressing expression of neural genes. sog protein also diffuses dorsally where it helps establish a BMP activity gradient essential for partitioning that domain into cells giving rise to the dorsal epidermis versus amnioserosa.
      
 0.861
G9a
G9a, isoform B; G9a (G9a) encodes a histone-lysine methyltransferase involved in epigenetic regulation. It contributes to multiple processes including gene expression, dendrite morphogenesis, larval locomotory behavior as well as short and long-term memory.
    
 
 0.853
HDAC1
Histone deacetylase HDAC1; Catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N- terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation may constitute a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. For instance, deacetylation of histone H3 may be a prerequisite for the subsequent recruitment of the histone methyltransferase Su(var)3-9 to histones. Involved in position-effect variegation (PEV). In the larval brain, part of a regulatory network including the transcript [...]

Akt1
RAC serine/threonine-protein kinase; Serine/threonine kinase involved in various developmental processes. During early embryogenesis, acts as a survival protein. During mid-embryogenesis, phosphorylates and activates trh, a transcription factor required for tracheal cell fate determination. Also regulates tracheal cell migration. Later in development, acts downstream of PI3K and Pk61C/PDK1 in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and antagonizing FOXO transcription factor. Controls follicle cell size during oogenesis. M [...]

Ppa
Partner of paired, isoform B; Partner of paired (Ppa) encodes a protein involved in response to oxidative stress.
   
 
 0.838
Med
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog; Medea (Med) encodes a protein that belongs to the highly conserved Smad family. It can bind its siblings encoded by Mad or Smox to facilitate signal transduction for the product of dpp or Activin ligands in the TGF-beta family. Med-complexes function as transcriptional regulators. Many developmental roles include dorsal-ventral patterning, patterning and proliferation of the wing disc and gene expression in the mushroom body of the larval brain.
    
 
 0.827
sd
Scalloped, isoform Q; Scalloped (sd) encodes a DNA binding protein of the TEAD class. It requires co-factor proteins ,such as the products of vg and yki, to act as a transcription factor, and is modified by Hippo and Wingless signalling. It is involved in wing and neuronal specification.
