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

HoHeme oxygenase; Heme oxygenase cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. (296 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
FeCH
Ferrochelatase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the ferrous insertion into protoporphyrin IX. Belongs to the ferrochelatase family.
    
 0.950
fh
Frataxin homolog, mitochondrial; Promotes the biosynthesis of heme as well as the assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe(2+) to proteins involved in these pathways. May play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+). May be able to store large amounts of the metal in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral by oligomerization. Required for ecdysteroidogenesis in the prothoracic gland which is necessary for larval to pupal transition. Belongs to the frataxin family.
     
 0.936
Cchl
Cytochrome c heme lyase; Links covalently the heme group to the apoprotein of cytochrome c.
     
 0.909
CG5037
Protoheme IX farnesyltransferase, mitochondrial; Converts protoheme IX and farnesyl diphosphate to heme O. Belongs to the ubiA prenyltransferase family.
     
 0.908
Pc
Polycomb group protein Pc; Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins act by forming multiprotein complexes, which are required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of homeotic genes throughout development. PcG proteins are not required to initiate repression, but to maintain it during later stages of development. Component of the PcG multiprotein PRC1 complex, a complex that acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-118', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. Promotes locus-specif [...]

His3:CG31613
Histone H3; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
      
 0.842
His3.3A
Histone H3.3A; Variant histone H3 which replaces conventional H3 in a wide range of nucleosomes in active genes and is specifically enriched in modifications associated with active chromatin. Constitutes the predominant form of histone H3 in non-dividing cells and is incorporated into chromatin independently of DNA synthesis. Deposited at sites of nucleosomal displacement throughout transcribed genes, suggesting that it represents an epigenetic imprint of transcriptionally active chromatin. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular mach [...]

Abd-B
Homeobox protein abdominal-B; Abdominal B (Abd-B) is one of the three hox genes of the bithorax complex. The product of Abd-B specifies the identity of the posterior abdominal segments, the external genitalia and the gonads. It is also involved in regulating the post-mating-response.

ear
ENL/AF9-related, isoform B; ENL/AF9-related (ear) encodes a transcription factor that is a component of the super elongation complex (SEC), which regulates transcription by RNA Polymerase II. It also interacts with the histone methyltransferase encoded by gpp in the Dot1 complex (DotCom), which modifies chromatin structure by methylating histone H3 on lysine 79.
      
 0.835
Cpr
NADPH--cytochrome P450 reductase; This enzyme is required for electron transfer from NADP to cytochrome p450 in microsomes. It can also provide electron transfer to heme oxygenase and cytochrome b5 (By similarity). May function to clear the olfactory organ (antennae) from accumulating chemicals. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the flavodoxin family.
