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

ninaBCarotenoid isomerooxygenase; Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage at the 15,15'-double bond of carotenoids and the simultaneous all-trans to 11-cis isomerization of one cleavage product. Carotenoids like 11-cis retinal can promote visual pigment biogenesis in the dark. Essential for the biosynthesis of the 3-hydroxyretinal chromophore of rhodopsin from zeaxanthin and for proper photoreceptor development. Also essential for larval light perception. (620 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ninaD
Neither inactivation nor afterpotential D (ninaD) encodes a scavenger receptor involved in carotenoid transport, light detection and rhodopsin biosynthesis; Belongs to the CD36 family.
   
  
 0.918
ninaG
Neither inactivation nor afterpotential protein G; Oxidoreductase involved in biosynthesis of 3-hydroxyretinal, a chromophore for rhodopsin Rh1. Not responsible for the initial hydroxylation of the retinal ring but rather acts in a subsequent step in chromophore production. May catalyze the conversion of (3R)-3- hydroxyretinol to the 3S enantiomer.
   
  
 0.866
santa-maria
Scavenger receptor acting in neural tissue and majority of rhodopsin is absent (santa-maria) encodes a class B scavenger receptor that contributes to the conversion of carotenoids to vitamin A. It is involved in phototransduction and thermotaxis; Belongs to the CD36 family.
   
  
 0.812
pinta
Retinol-binding protein pinta; Retinoid-binding protein which shows highest affinity for all-trans retinol. Can also bind all-trans forms of retinoic acid and retinal, but has lower affinity for cis form retinoids. Required in retinal pigment cells for rhodopsin biosynthesis.
   
  
 0.797
rdhB
Retinol dehydrogenase B (rdhB) encodes a retinol dehydrogenase involved in rhodopsin biosynthesis.
   
  
 0.735
ninaE
Opsin Rh1; Neither inactivation nor afterpotential E (ninaE) encodes a protein that plays a major role in light detection and vision. It is the rhodopsin expressed in the largest class of photoreceptors in the adult retina. The stimulation by light of the product of ninaE induces G-protein signaling activation, the opening of the channels encoded by trp and trpl and photoreceptor cell membrane depolarization.
   
  
 0.717
Argl
Argininosuccinate lyase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: arginine biosynthetic process via ornithine.
 
      0.713
Gart
Trifunctional purine biosynthetic protein adenosine-3; GART trifunctional enzyme (Gart) encodes a multifunctional enzyme that exhibits phosphoribosylamine-glycine ligase, phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine cyclo-ligase and phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase activities; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the GARS family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the GART family.
   
  
 0.664
P5CS
Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase; Glutamate-5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase activity; glutamate 5-kinase activity; delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: oxidation-reduction process; proline biosynthetic process; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase family.
      
 0.662
sicily
NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) complex I, assembly factor 6 homolog; Involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I) at early stages; Belongs to the NDUFAF6 family.
