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

Mlp84BMuscle LIM protein at 84B (Mlp84B) encodes a muscle cytoskeletal protein found primarily at the Z-line boundary. It maintains muscle structural integrity and regulates actin bundling. (495 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Tm2
Tropomyosin-2; Tropomyosin, in association with the troponin complex, plays a central role in the calcium dependent regulation of muscle contraction. May also regulate motor systems required to maintain nuclear integrity and apico-basal polarity during embryogenesis.
   
  
 0.916
Mp20
Muscle-specific protein 20; It is involved in the biological process described with: myoblast fusion; regulation of myoblast fusion.
 
 
  
 0.910
Mhc
Myosin heavy chain (Mhc) encodes the motor protein that provides the force for muscle contraction through its ATP-dependent interaction with actin filaments. It functions with essential and regulatory light chains.
   
  
 0.899
Mlc2
Myosin light chain 2 (Mlc2) encodes a subunit of the myosin complex involved in myofibril assembly. It contributes to different flight-related processes including wing beat frequency, and indirect flight muscle contraction.
   
  
 0.878
Mlc1
Myosin light chain alkali; Microfilament motor activity; calcium ion binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: muscle contraction; mesoderm development.
   
  
 0.872
up
Troponin T, skeletal muscle; Upheld (up) encodes the striated muscle protein Troponin T. Troponins T, C and I form a regulatory complex with Tropomyosin that is found at regular intervals along the thin (F-actin) filaments of the muscle sarcomere.
   
  
 0.860
TpnC47D
Troponin C, isoform 2; Enzyme regulator activity; calcium ion binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: microtubule cytoskeleton organization; calcium-mediated signaling.
   
  
 0.825
Act87E
Actin-87E; Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells; Belongs to the actin family.
   
  
 0.825
Prm
Paramyosin, long form; Paramyosin (Prm) encodes a muscle protein found only in invertebrates. It dimerizes into a coiled-coil that occupies the interior of the thick filament. Its role is thought to be structural, although it can be phosphorylated and this is important for muscle function.
   
    0.824
wupA
Wings up A (wupA) encodes a cytoskeletal protein of the troponin complex of the muscle thin filament. It is involved in calcium-dependent regulation of muscle contraction, and in development of the embryonic heart, skeletal muscle and flight muscle It also contributes to non-muscle functions such as apico-basal polarity formation, nuclear division and maintenance of nuclear integrity.
