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

dacDachshund, isoform B; Dachshund (dac) encodes a transcriptional cofactor that physically interacts with several other retinal determination proteins, including those encoded by eya and so, and regulates eye, leg, gonad, and brain development. (1081 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
eya
Developmental protein eyes absent; Tyrosine phosphatase thought to play a role in transcription regulation during organogenesis through its intrinsic protein phosphatase activity. The phosphatase activity was shown in vitro. Appears to function together with So and Dac in eye development. Required for the survival of eye progenitor cells at a critical stage in morphogenesis. Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. EYA family.
   
 
 0.994
so
Sine oculis (so) encodes a homeobox-containing transcription factor that functions with the product of eya as a transcriptional co-activator. It contributes to both cell and tissue fate specification, promotion of cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis.
   
 
 0.932
Optix
Optix (Optix) encodes a homeobox containing DNA binding protein and a member of the SIX class of proteins. It functions as a repressor via interaction with the transcriptional co-repressor encoded by gro. It is involved in eye formation and morphogenetic furrow movement.
   
 
 0.778
ey
Paired box protein Pax-6; Eyeless (ey) encodes a transcription factor that is involved in eye development as part of the retinal determination gene network, and contributes to brain formation.
   
 
 0.765
Six4
Homeobox protein SIX4; Six4 (Six4) encodes a homeodomain-containing transcription factor required for mesodermal patterning to form the embryonic gonad.
    
 
 0.750
Sobp
Sine oculis-binding protein, isoform A; Transcription factor binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: compound eye development.
      
 0.670
dan
Protein distal antenna; Probable transcription factor with a role in the retinal determination (RD) network. Regulates ato expression and is required for normal R8 induction and differentiation. Danr appears to repress Dan expression, but Dan is required for Danr expression anterior to the morphogenetic furrow (MF). Dan and Danr lie downstream of so and require dac function for highest levels of expression. Contributes to differentiation of antenna-specific characteristics; effector gene that acts downstream of homothorax (hth), Distal-less (Dll), cut (ct) and spineless (ss) genes to c [...]
    
 
 0.620
tio
Protein tiptop; Tiptop (tio) and teashirt (tsh) have, on the whole, common activities. Tio and tsh repress each other's expression and tsh has a crucial role for trunk patterning that is in part masked by ectopic expression of tiptop. Both genes share a common activity required for the activation of Ser and svb and the maintenance of en and wg. Belongs to the teashirt C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
      
 0.612
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.

P58IPK
LD25575p; Misfolded protein binding; chaperone binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: protein folding in endoplasmic reticulum.
