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

Score
Akt1RAC serine/threonine-protein kinase; Serine/threonine kinase involved in various developmental processes. During early embryogenesis, acts as a survival protein. During mid-embryogenesis, phosphorylates and activates trh, a transcription factor required for tracheal cell fate determination. Also regulates tracheal cell migration. Later in development, acts downstream of PI3K and Pk61C/PDK1 in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and antagonizing FOXO transcription factor. Controls follicle cell size during oogenesis. M [...] (611 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
foxo
Forkhead box protein O; Transcription factor involved in the regulation of the insulin signaling pathway. Consistently activates both the downstream target Thord4EBP and the feedback control target InR. Involved in negative regulation of the cell cycle, modulating cell growth and proliferation. In response to cellular stresses, such as nutrient deprivation or increased levels of reactive oxygen species, foxo is activated and inhibits growth through the action of target genes such as Thor. Foxo activated in the adult fat body can regulate lifespan in adults; an insulin peptide itself m [...]

Pten
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) encodes a dual lipid and protein phosphatase that primarily counters the effects of the insulin-regulated lipid kinase, encoded by Pi3K92E. It inhibits cell growth, cell proliferation and cellular events controlling cytoskeletal and junctional rearrangements.
   
 
 0.997
raptor
Raptor, isoform B; Raptor (raptor) encodes a crucial component of target of rapamycin (TOR) complex 1, which is a conserved regulator of cell growth and metabolism.
    
 0.996
gig
Gigas, isoform A; Gigas (gig) encodes a tumour suppressor protein that, together with with the product of Tsc1, controls cellular growth via antagonizing insulin and TOR signalling pathways.
   
 0.995
Pdk1
3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1; Serine/threonine kinase required for embryonic development. Inhibits apoptosis. Acts in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and activating Akt1 and S6k. May be involved in axonal pathfinding and synaptogenesis, and in spermatogenesis. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PDPK1 subfamily.
  
0.995
Tsc1
LD23779p; Tsc1 (Tsc1) encodes a tumour suppressor protein that forms a complex with the product of gig. They control cellular growth via antagonizing insulin and TOR signalling pathways.
    
 0.994
Pi3K92E
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase, Dp110; Pi3K92E (Pi3K92E) encodes the catalytic subunit of a class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase that functions downstream of the product of InR and other receptors during several processes, including cell and tissue growth; Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family.
   
 0.988
rictor
Rapamycin-insensitive companion of Tor (rictor) encodes an essential component of TOR complex 2 where it controls phosphorylation of protein kinases, such as those encoded by Akt1 and trc. The product of rictor contributes to the regulation of tissue growth, dendritic tiling, long term memory, tolerance to heat stress, and mitochondrial quality control.
   
 0.986
Tor
Serine/threonine-protein kinase Tor; Promotes cell and tissue growth, maintains tissue homeostatis and controls responses to environmental stress and aging. Regulates growth during animal development by coupling growth factor signaling to nutrient availability. Central regulators of autophagy. May be involved in atg1 phosphorylation. May also be involved, directly or indirectly, in the control of neuronal function. Phosphorylates S6K/p70S6K, in vitro. May regulate the activity of S6K. Overexpression inhibits growth and reduces cell size. Affects the timing of neuronal cell differentiat [...]

PRAS40
Proline-rich Akt substrate 40 kDa (PRAS40) encodes a protein that functions to link Insulin/IGF signaling and the activation of the product of Tor in a tissue-specific manner, affecting the activity of the product of Tor in the ovary but not in other fly tissues.
