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.

BursBursicon (Burs) encodes a cystine knot protein that dimerizes with the product of Pburs to form the bursicon neurohormone. Bursicon neurohormone is released after adult emergence and acts on the receptor encoded by rk for tanning and hardening of the cuticle and expansion of the wings. (173 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Pburs
Partner of Bursicon (Pburs) encodes a cystine knot protein that dimerizes with the product of Burs to form the bursicon neurohormone that acts on the receptor encoded by rk. Bursicon neurohormone is released after adult emergence and is required for tanning and hardening of the cuticle and expansion of the wings.
 
 
 0.999
Eh
Eclosion hormone (Eh) encodes a neurohormone involved in the control of ecdysis. At each ecdysis, the neurohormone is released into the hemolymph where it serves to potentiate the release of the product of ETH through a positive endocrine feedback loop. The product of Eh is also released into the nervous system where it contributes to turning on ecdysis.
   
  
 0.947
CCAP
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) encodes a conserved 9 amino acid neuropeptide. It is produced by 1-2 neurons in each segment of the ventral nervous system and is released during the shedding of the old exoskeleton (ecdysis). It also has cardioactive functions.
   
  
 0.934
rk
Rickets (rk) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that signals intracellularly using the second messenger cAMP. It binds the heterodimeric hormone bursicon and is developmentally important for molting-related behaviors. It is also required after adult emergence for cuticle hardening and melanization.
   
  
 0.918
ETH
Ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) encodes two peptides (DrmETH1 and DrmETH2) involved in ecdysis. ETH depletion leads to respiratory and behavioral deficits, unsuccessful ecdysis and lethality.
      
 0.915
Gpb5
Glycoprotein hormone beta 5 (Gpb5) encodes a ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor encoded by Lgr1. It is involved in hormone-mediated signaling.
      
 0.837
Akh
Adipokinetic hormone (Akh) encodes a peptide hormone secreted by the corpora cardiaca. It signals to the G-protein coupled receptor encoded by AkhR to regulate circulating hemolymph carbohydrates and stored lipid and glycogen in the fat body; Belongs to the AKH/HRTH/RPCH family.
      
 0.793
AstA
Allatostatin-A; May act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator.
   
  
 0.788
Gpa2
Glycoprotein hormone alpha 2 (Gpa2) encodes a protein that, when linked to the product of Gpb5, can activate the G protein-coupled receptor encoded by Lgr1.
      
 0.762
SIFa
Neuropeptide SIFamide; Ligand for the neuropeptide SIFamide receptor. Modulates sexual behavior by negatively regulating female receptivity to male courtship and by playing a role in male sex discrimination. Also involved in promoting sleep. Belongs to the FARP (FMRFamide related peptide) family.
