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

Mau2Mau2 sister chromatid cohesion factor (Mau2) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of Nipped-B to form the kollerin complex, which loads the cohesin complex onto chromosomes. The product of Mau2 and cohesin participate in transcriptional regulation and DNA repair. (632 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Nipped-B
Nipped-B protein; Plays a structural role in chromatin. Involved in sister chromatid cohesion, probably via an interaction with the cohesin complex. Participates in the transcriptional activation mediated by remote enhancers on genes such as cut and Ubx, possibly by alleviating the cohesin-mediated blocking of enhancer-promoter communication. Belongs to the SCC2/Nipped-B family.
    
 0.999
SMC3
Structural maintenance of chromosomes 3 (SMC3) encodes a subunit of the cohesin complex. It is involved in planar cell polarity by regulating the membrane enrichment of the transmembrane cadherin encoded by stan.
   
 0.989
wapl
Wings apart-like (wapl) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of pds5 to form the releasin complex that enables sister chromatid separation at mitosis by removing the cohesin ring complex from chromosomes. It also influences gene activation and silencing through interactions with cohesin.
   
 
 0.986
pds5
Precocious dissociation of sisters 5 (pds5) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of wapl to form the releasin complex, which enables sister chromatid separation at mitosis by removing the cohesin ring complex from chromosomes. The product of pds5 influences gene activation and silencing through interactions with cohesin. It is also required to initiate and/or maintain sister chromatid cohesion.
   
 
 0.960
vtd
Rad21 mitotic cohesin; Verthandi (vtd) encodes a subunit of the cohesin complex, which encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair.
   
 
 0.941
SA
Stromalin (SA) encodes a subunit of the cohesin ring complex, which encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair.
   
 
 0.931
Sse
LD08709p; Separase (Sse) encodes an endoprotease. Together with the product of thr, it forms a complex which cleaves a subunit of the cohesin complex during meiosis, thereby allowing separation of the sister chromatids.
   
  
 0.871
ds
Protein dachsous; Required for normal morphogenesis of adult structures derived from imaginal disks. Plays a role in planar cell polarity and in determining body left-right asymmetry. Expression in segment H1 of the imaginal ring and interaction with Myo31DF are required to induce changes of cell shape and orientation in segment H2, which then gives rise to normal, dextral looping of the adult hindgut.
      
 0.851
SMC1
Structural maintenance of chromosomes 1 (SMC1) encodes an ATPase that heterodimerizes with the product of SMC3 to interact with the products of vtd and SA to form the cohesin ring complex. Cohesin encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair.
   
 0.812
SMC5
Structural maintenance of chromosomes 5 (SMC5) encodes a component of the SMC5/6 protein complex that is critical to genome stability and required for homologous DNA recombination-based processes.
