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

CecBCecropin-B; Cecropin B (CecB) encodes an helicoidal antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is mostly expressed at the pupal stage; Belongs to the cecropin family. (63 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CecC
Cecropin-C; Cecropin C (CecC) encodes an antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is strongly expressed at the pupal stage.

Rel
Nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p110 subunit; Plays a key role in the humoral immune response. Rel-p68 subunit translocates to the nucleus where it binds to the promoter of the Cecropin A1 gene and probably other antimicrobial peptide genes. I-kappa-B kinase complex (IKKbeta and key) and PGRP-LC are essential signaling components in transmitting the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signal leading to cact degradation for NF-kappa-B (rel) activation. Part of a Toll-related receptor pathway that functions in the apoptosis of unfit cells during cell competition. May be part of a NF-kappa-B and Tollo sig [...]

DptB
Diptericin B (DptB) encodes an immune inducible antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is expressed in the fat body during the systemic immune response and in various epithelia. Its expression is regulated at the transcriptional level by the immune deficiency pathway.
   
  
 0.965
Dif
Dorsal-related immunity factor Dif; Mediates an immune response in larvae. DIF binds to the kappa-B consensus sequence 5'-GGRNNYYCC-3', located in the enhancer region of the immunity gene CECA1. Involved in the melanization immune response to bacterial challenge, possibly by acting in a Toll signaling pathway that downregulates Spn27A in response to infection. Part of a signaling pathway involving NF-kappa-B (rel) and Toll-related receptors, that functions in the apoptosis of unfit cells during cell competition. May be part of a NF-kappa-B and Tollo signaling cascade that regulates dev [...]

DptA
Diptericin A (DptA) encodes an immune inducible antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is expressed in the fat body during the systemic immune response and in various epithelia. Its expression is regulated at the transcriptional level by the immune deficiency pathway; Belongs to the attacin/sarcotoxin-2 family.
   
  
 0.957
Def
Defensin (Def) encodes an antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It is induced in the fat body during the systemic immune response and is expressed in various epithelia. The expression of Def is regulated at the transcriptional level by both the immune deficiency and Toll pathways; Belongs to the invertebrate defensin family. Type 1 subfamily.
   
  
 0.949
Dro
Drosocin (Dro) encodes an o-Glycosylated antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It is expressed in the fat body during the systemic immune response and is expressed in various epithelia. The expression of Dro is regulated at the transcriptional level mostly by the immune deficiency pathway; Belongs to the drosocin family.
   
  
 0.947
AttA
Attacin-A (AttA) encodes an antibacterial peptide with activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is expressed in the fat body and various epithelia under the regulation of the immune deficiency and, to a lesser extent, Toll pathways; Belongs to the attacin/sarcotoxin-2 family.
   
  
 0.930
Mtk
Metchnikowin (Mtk) encodes an antifungal peptide that is secreted from the fat body during the systemic immune response, and is produced by various epithelia. Its expression is regulated at the transcriptional level by the immune deficiency and/or Toll pathways.
   
  
 0.927
AttD
Attacin-D (AttD) encodes is an immune inducible peptide that shows homology to antibacterial peptides having activity against Gram-negative bacteria.
