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

Lk6Lk6 kinase (Lk6) encodes the single ortholog of MAPK signal integrating kinases, which are phosphorylated and activated by ERK. Lk6 product phosphorylates the protein encoded by eIF4E1 to influence translation initiation via formation of the eIF4F complex. (1142 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
eIF4G1
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G1 (eIF4G1) encodes a protein that contributes to translation and spermatogenesis.
   
 
 0.931
eIF4E1
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E1; Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. In 0-1 hour embryos, forms a complex with me31B, cup, tral and pAbp which binds to various mRNAs including maternal mRNAs, and downregulates their expression during the maternal-to-zygotic transition. Belongs to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family.

eIF4E7
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E7 (eIF4E7) encodes a protein involved in translational initiation.
    
 
 0.698
eIF4E5
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E5 (eIF4E5) encodes a protein in translational initiation.
    
 
 0.698
eIF4E4
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E4 (eIF4E4) encodes a protein involved in translational initiation.
    
 
 0.698
eIF4E6
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E6 (eIF4E6) encodes a RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding protein.
    
 
 0.698
eIF4E3
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E3 (eIF4E3) encodes a protein that binds the 7-methyl-guanosine cap structure of mRNA. It is a component of the eIF4F cap-binding complex that is essential for cap-dependent translation of mRNA. eIF4E3 is primarily expressed in testes and is required for male fertility, but not for viability.

mei-41
Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR; Serine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling upon genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or DNA replication stalling, thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]- Q. Phosphorylates various proteins, which collectively inhibits DNA replication and mitosis and promotes DNA repair and recombination. Phosphorylates grp/CHK1. Phosphorylates 'Ser-137' of histone variant H2AX/H2AV at sites of DNA damage, thereby regulating DNA damage response mechanism. [...]
      
 0.669
eIF4A
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A; ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome. In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon. Involved in germ cell formation.

p38a
P38a MAP kinase (p38a) encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinases responsive to diverse stresses. In immune response, it activates its downstream component encoded by Atf-2 that in turn regulates Duox expression.
