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

bnkProtein bottleneck; Acts as a regulator of the microfilament network governing cellularization of the embryo. Determines the timing of a key conformational transition in the cortical microfilament network: the proper coordination of membrane invagination and basal closure of the cells. To do this, bnk possibly physically links neighboring contractile units of the early cycle 14 microfilament network in a manner that prevents basal constriction until the proper stage has been reached. Bnk together with nullo and Sry-alpha may provide auxiliary functions, by acting both to stabilize a la [...] (303 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nullo
Protein nullo; Actin-myosin network stability during cellularization. Might be involved in increasing actin-actin interactions or membrane-to- cytoskeleton attachments. nullo together with Sry-a and bnk may provide auxiliary functions, by acting both to stabilize a large and dynamic microfilament structure and regulate its functions.
   
  
 0.933
Sry-alpha
Serendipity locus protein alpha; Required for the cellularization of the syncytial blastoderm embryo. Involved in the localization of the actin filaments just prior to and during plasma membrane invagination. Sry-alpha together with nullo and bnk may provide auxiliary functions, by acting both to stabilize a large and dynamic microfilament structure and regulate its functions.

zld
Zelda, isoform A; Zelda (zld) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that functions in early blastoderm development. It works as a zygotic genome activator because it has a global role in regulating early expressed genes, such as genes essential for cellularization, sex determination and pattern formation. It is also required at later times in development.
      
 0.791
Z600
Protein Z600; Cell cycle regulator that is involved in modulating and adjusting cell proliferation according to the requirements of the developmental program. Interacts with mitotic Cdk1-cyclin complexes to inhibit mitotic entry at the G2/M transition. Likely to function by binding to the hydrophobic patch of cyclins to interfere with the interaction between the complex and certain Cdk1 substrates. At the mid-blastula transition, involved in the cell cycle arrest in G2 of cycle 14 by delaying mitosis and thus reducing cell poliferation allowing cell fate specification and morphogenesis [...]

CG7271
RE03769p; Nucleic acid binding.
   
  
 0.736
slam
Slow as molasses, isoform B; Slow as molasses (slam) encodes a protein involved in cortical polarization and furrow invagination during cellularization, as well in germ cell migration during later embryogenesis. slam RNA co-localizes and forms a complex with its encoded protein, which is needed for full expression and subcellular localization.

CG14317
MIP30824p1; It is involved in the biological process described with: SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process.
   
    0.645
SNCF
SoxNeuro Co-Factor; Protein binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of localization.
   
    0.604
CG13711
Uncharacterized protein; It is involved in the biological process described with: regulation of localization.
   
    0.583
sisA
Sisterless A (sisA) encodes a transcription factor that activates transcription of the master feminizing switch gene Sxl specifically in diplo-X somatic cells. It is also required for proper embryonic midgut development in both sexes.
