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.

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.
   
  
 0.935
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.

CG7271
RE03769p; Nucleic acid binding.
   
  
 0.705
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 [...]

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.
   
  
 0.639
Spt
Spitting Image (Spt) encodes an F-actin binding and stabilizing protein. Spt and Sry-alpha represent a novel clade of the Vinculin/alpha-Catenin superfamily. The product of Spt is maternally provided in early embryos, and it positively regulates F-actin levels during cellularization.

CG14317
MIP30824p1; It is involved in the biological process described with: SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process.
   
    0.579
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.

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.
