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

oskMaternal 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. (606 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
stau
Maternal effect protein staufen; RNA-binding protein which forms ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) that play critical roles in the localization, translational repression and turnover of RNAs during embryogenesis, neurotransmission and neurogenesis. In the oocyte, essential for the localization of both the osk/oskar mRNA to the posterior pole and bcd/bicoid RNA to the anterior pole, and is therefore required for the correct anterior- posterior patterning of the developing embryo. Association with osk or bcd at their respective poles, appears to promote the formation and stabilization o [...]

Pxt
Chorion peroxidase; Peroxinectin-like (Pxt) encodes a cycloxygenase-like enzyme that contributes to the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins activate G protein-coupled receptor signaling. Its roles include oogenesis, sperm individualization, morphogenesis, nucleolar structure, temporal control of gene expression, and regulation of gene amplification; Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
   
  
 0.985
vas
ATP-dependent RNA helicase vasa; Involved in translational control mechanisms operating in early stages of oogenesis. Required maternally in many stages of oogenesis, including cystocyte differentiation, oocyte differentiation, and specification of anterior-posterior polarity in the developing cysts. Essential for the formation and/or structural integrity of perinuclear nuage particles during germ cell formation. Required for gus, Fsn and aub accumulation at the posterior pole of the embryo. Required for the localization of vas to the perinuclear region of nurse cells. Belongs to the D [...]

dhd
Thioredoxin-1; Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. As a reducing substrate of peroxiredoxin 1, thioredoxin 2 is preferred over thioredoxin 1. Required for female meiosis and early embryonic development.
   
 
 0.972
bru1
Bruno 1 (bru1) encodes an RNA binding protein acting in multiple forms of post-transcriptional gene regulation including repression and activation of translation and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. The product of bru1 is required for gametogenesis, developmental patterning, and muscle organization.

otu
Protein ovarian tumor locus; Essential for female fertility; germ cell division and differentiation.
   
  
 0.967
mtrm
Protein matrimony; Polo kinase inhibitor required to maintain G2 arrest in the meiotic cell cycle in females. Holds heterochromatically paired homologs together from the end of pachytene until metaphase I. Haploinsufficient locus for homologous achiasmate segregation and may be required for the maintenance of heterochromatic pairings.
   
  
 0.956
bcd
Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction.
   
 
 0.955
orb
Oo18 RNA-binding protein (orb) encodes a RNA-binding protein required for the formation of the egg chamber and establishment of polarity during oogenesis. It is involved in mRNA polyadenylation and the regulation of osk mRNA translation.
   
  
 0.953
gnu
CG5272 protein; Giant nuclei (gnu) encodes a regulatory subunit of the PNG kinase complex, which regulates the levels of the protein encoded by CycB. Members of this complex are required maternally for the normal nuclear divisions of the syncytial embryo.
