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

Sas-4Spindle assembly abnormal 4 (Sas-4) encodes a centriole protein that is essential for centriole assembly. It is recruited to centrioles through an interaction with the centriole protein encoded by ana2, and it helps recruit microtubules to the centriole. (901 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Sas-6
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 homolog; Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry. Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication. In ciliated neurons, required for centriole assembly but not necessary for cilium basal body and cilia function. Required for sperm cilium basal body elongation together with Cep135 and Ana2.
   
 
 0.997
ana2
Anastral spindle 2 (ana2) encodes a centriole protein that is essential for centriole assembly, promoting the assembly of the central "cartwheel" structure. It may also have an independent role in promoting asymmetric divisions in larval neuroblasts.
   
 
 0.994
SAK
Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4; Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a central role in centriole duplication. Able to trigger procentriole formation on the surface of the mother centriole cylinder, using mother centriole as a platform, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins such as Sas-6. When overexpressed, it is able to induce centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each parental centriole during S phase. Centrosome amplification following overexpression can initiate tumorigenesis, highlighting [...]

asl
Asterless (asl) encodes a component of the centriole that is required for centrosome function. It contributes to asymmetric cell division, sperm development and centriole replication and elongation.
   
 
 0.993
Cep135
Centrosomal protein 135kDa (Cep135) encodes a microtubule binding protein important for centriole elongation and stability. It promotes centrosome asymmetry and spindle orientation in neuroblasts and it is required for male fertility.
   
 
 0.993
cnn
Centrosomin (cnn) encodes an essential mitotic centrosome component. During early embryogenesis it is required to organize the mitotic spindle, the actin cytoskeleton and centriole replication. It is also required for mitotic and meiotic divisions during spermatogenesis, as well as organization of the sperm axoneme. The product of cnn can interact with microtubules, actin and the kinase encoded by polo.
   
 
 0.991
Plp
Pericentrin-like protein, isoform F; Pericentrin-like protein (Plp) encodes a protein localized to centrioles and centrosomes that plays an important role together with the product of cnn in organizing the pericentriolar material of the centrosome during interphase. It is also required for proper cilium function.
   
 
 0.980
spd-2
Spindle defective 2 (spd-2) encodes a centriole and centrosome protein that is primarily involved in centrosome assembly. Together with the product of cnn, it helps to assemble a "scaffold" around the mother centriole that can recruit other centrosomal proteins to the centrosome during mitosis.
   
 
 0.968
ana1
Anastral spindle 1 (ana1) encodes a cytoplasmic protein located in the centrioles, including the sperm giant centriole and proximal centriole-like structure, which assists in centrioles formation. Its roles include coordinated movement behavior, sperm motility, and fertility.
   
 
 0.964
Cp110
Centriolar coiled coil protein 110kDa (Cp110) encodes a centriolar protein that localizes to the distal end of both mother and daughter centrioles. It seems to prevent the centriole microtubules from extending beyond the distal end of the centriole. It interacts with the product of Cep97, another protein localized to the distal end of the centrioles.
