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

WASpWASp, isoform A; WASp (WASp) encodes the homolog of the conserved Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family of nucleation promoting factors. It enables the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate polymerization of branched microfilament arrays. It contributes to gastrulation, myoblast fusion, synapse morphology at neuromuscular junctions, sensory organ development, and spermatogenesis. (527 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Cdc42
Cdc42 (Cdc42) encodes a GTPase signaling protein that acts as a molecular switch and functions as key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a central role in diverse biological processes including actin cytoskeleton organization, mophogenesis, hemocyte migration, cell polarity, and wound repair.
   
 
 0.998
Arp2
Actin-related protein 2; Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (By similarity).
   
 
 0.993
Cip4
Cdc42-interacting protein 4 (Cip4) encodes an F-BAR protein that functions as an adaptor protein regulating membrane curvature and dynamics.
   
 
 0.987
nwk
Protein nervous wreck; Adapter protein that provides a link between vesicular membrane traffic and the actin assembly machinery. Acts together with Cdc42 to stimulate actin nucleation mediated by WASp and the ARP2/3 complex. Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and causes local membrane deformation. Required for normal structure and function of synapses at the neuromuscular junction. Plays a role in synaptic vesicle trafficking. Required for the release of a normal number of synaptic vesicles per action potential.
   
 
 0.985
Vrp1
Verprolin 1, isoform G; Verprolin 1 (Vrp1) encodes the sole Drosophila homolog of the conserved Verprolin/WASp-interacting-protein family of actin regulators. It facilitates myoblast fusion in somatic muscles by recruiting the branched-actin polymerization machinery to sites of myoblast-myotube attachment and fusion.
   
 
 0.978
Amph
Amphiphysin, isoform A; Amphiphysin (Amph) encodes a BAR and SH3 domain containing protein that regulates muscle transverse tubule formation. It exhibits post-synaptic localization at the neuromuscular junction and its mutants show locomotion defects.
   
 
 0.972
Arp3
Actin-related protein 3; Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks (By similarity). Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (By similarity). Required during embryogenesis for the developmental migration of tail hemocytes anteriorly, along the ventral midline.
   
 
 0.968
Arpc2
Actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2; Functions as actin-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the mother actin filament (By similarity).
    
 
 0.963
Arpc1
Actin-related protein 2/3 complex, subunit 1 (Arpc1) encodes one of seven components of the highly conserved Arp2/3 complex. The Arp2/3 complex is required for many cellular and developmental processes requiring F-actin polymerization, including germline ring canal growth, embryonic cellularization, myoblast fusion, and endocytosis.

dock
Dreadlocks, isoform B; It is involved in the biological process described with: axon guidance; myoblast fusion; negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway.
