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

spirProtein spire; Acts as an actin nucleation factor, remains associated with the slow-growing pointed end of the new filament. Promotes dissociation of capu from the barbed end of actin filaments. Involved in intracellular vesicle transport along actin fibers, providing a novel link between actin cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport. Required for localization of determinants within the developing oocyte to the posterior pole and to the dorsal anterior corner. Links Rho family signaling and Jnk function to the actin cytoskeleton. (1020 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
capu
Cappuccino (capu) encodes a formin family protein that nucleates actin filaments and accelerates their elongation. It works with the product of spir to build an actin mesh that fills the oocyte during mid-oogenesis. capu is necessary for polarity establishment and female fertility.
   
 0.994
Act5C
Actin-5C; Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
    
 
 0.979
fs(1)K10
DNA-binding protein K10; Female sterile (1) K10 (fs(1)K10) encodes a nuclear protein of unknown biochemical function required during oogenesis for the proper localization of grk mRNA and protein in the oocyte, a key step in the specification of the dorsoventral axis of the oocyte, mature egg, and future embryo.
   
  0.906
form3
Formin 3, isoform B; Formin 3 (form3) encodes a protein that belongs to the formin family, which functions in various actin-based processes. It is involved in tracheal fusion.
    
 
 0.850
mon2
Protein MON2 homolog; May be required for traffic between late Golgi and early endosomes.
    
 
 0.831
drk
Protein enhancer of sevenless 2B; Downstream of receptor kinase (drk) encodes an adaptor protein that recognizes phosphorylated tyrosine residues of membrane receptors and triggers the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway. drk product contributes to the regulation of cytoskeletal organization and participates in developmental and cognitive processes (associative learning, anesthesia resistant memory).
   
 
 0.799
didum
Dilute class unconventional myosin (didum) encodes a class V unconventional myosin that binds actin and hydrolyzes ATP. It functions in mRNA localization in the oocyte, spermatid individualization during spermatogenesis, transport of pigment granules in photoreceptors and mitochondrial transport in neuronal cells; Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
   
 
 0.722
osk
Maternal effect protein oskar; Organizes the germ plasm and directs localization of the posterior determinant nanos. Oskar protein is required to keep nos RNA and staufen protein at the posterior pole.
   
 
 0.679
WASp
WASp, isoform A; WASp (WASp) encodes the homolog of the conserved Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family of nucleation promoting factors. It enables the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate polymerization of branched microfilament arrays. It contributes to gastrulation, myoblast fusion, synapse morphology at neuromuscular junctions, sensory organ development, and spermatogenesis.
   
 
 0.662
Rho1
Ras-like GTP-binding protein Rho1; Has a role in regulating actin cytoskeletal organization: required during early development for proper execution of morphogenetic movements of individual cells and groups of cells important for the formation of the embryonic body plan. Plays a role in regulating dorsal closure during embryogenesis. During axis elongation, required for Rho-kinase Rok planar polarity and adherens junction localization as well as for generating a planar polarized distribution of the actin-binding protein Shrm. During embryogenesis, acts upstream of wash to regulate the d [...]
