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

sqzZinc finger protein squeeze; Transcription factor involved in neuronal fate specification. First required in embryonic CNS development to define the number of cells that express apterous (ap) in the ap thoracic cluster of interneurons. Later on, it plays a central role in the combinatorial code of transcription factors that specifies the fate of the Tv neuron in the ap cluster by participating in the transcription regulation of FMRFa in Tv cells. Also required for projection neuron dendritic targeting. (535 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
dimm
Protein dimmed; Transcription factor that regulates neurosecretory (NS) cell function and neuroendocrine cell fate. Acts as a master regulator of common NS functions such as Phm expression and neuropeptide production. Plays a role as a regulator of peptide-containing large dense-core vesicle (LDCV) production and peptidergic cell differentiation. Controls transcription of FMRFamide in Tv neuronal cells and Fur1 in Ap-let cells (Tvb and dorsal apterous cells). Also required for up- regulation of Phm in Tv and Ap-let cells, and expression of three neuropeptide genes, Ms, FMRFamide and Lk [...]

Nplp1
Neuropeptide-like 1; [NPLP1-4]: Acts as a ligand for the receptor-type guanylate cyclase Gyc76C. Stimulates Gyc76c-dependent cGMP production and modulates the IMD innate immune pathway in response to salt stress by inducing nuclear translocation of NF-kappa-B protein Rel which leads to increased expression of the antimicrobial peptide diptericin. Does not appear to play a role in Gyc76C- mediated wing development.

nab
NGFI-A-binding protein homolog; Transcriptional regulator that can both act as a coactivator or a corepressor depending on the context. Lacks DNA-binding domains and acts by associating with other transcription factors such as rotund (rn) and squeeze (sqz). Acts as a coactivator of sqz and is required to limit the number of neurons that express the LIM-homeodomain gene apterous and to specify Tv neuronal fate. Acts as corepressor of rn in wing development and is required to limit the expression of wingless (wg) in the wing hinge, where wg plays a mitogenic role. Belongs to the NAB family.

FMRFa
Corticotropin-releasing factor-like; FMRFamide (FMRFa) encodes a propeptide precursor that is processed to generate bioactive neuropeptides, many of which activate the G protein coupled receptor encoded by FMRFaR. Physiologically, FMRFa-encoded peptides contribute to neuromuscular physiology modulation and sleep regulation.
    
 
 0.701
pdm2
POU domain protein 2, isoform B; DNA-binding regulatory protein implicated in early development. Involved in neuronal cell fate decision. May act as an octamer-dependent activator of transcription. Could also play an early role in specific ectodermal cells, and a subsequent role in the embryonic nervous system.
    
 
 0.633
grh
Protein grainyhead; Grainy head (grh) encodes the founding member of a highly conserved family of transcription factors essential for embryonic development. It is both a transcriptional activator and repressor, responsible for the proper expression of many genes primarily involved in epithelial cell fate, barrier formation, wound healing, tube morphogenesis and proliferation of larval neuroblasts; Belongs to the grh/CP2 family. Grainyhead subfamily.

CG13131
Uncharacterized protein.

abd-A
Homeobox protein abdominal-A; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for segmental identity of the second through eighth abdominal segments. Once a pattern of abd-A expression is turned on in a given parasegment, it remains on the more posterior parasegment, so that the complex pattern of expression is built up in the successive parasegments. Appears to repress expression of Ubx whenever they appear in the same cell, but abd-A is repressed [...]

svp
Steroid receptor seven-up, isoform A; Receptor that is required in photoreceptors R1, R3, R4 and R6 during eye development; generation of the ganglion mother cell-2 (GMC- 2) fate in the nb7-3 lineage, coinciding with the transition in the expression of HB to KR in the neuroblasts (NBs). Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
