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

pygoPygopus (pygo) encodes a key nuclear component of the Wnt signaling pathway. It facilitates the recruitment of the product of arm to Wnt-responsive genes by interacting with the transcription cofactor encoded by Chi. It also binds the product of lgs and the methylated tail of the product of His3. Together, they associate with the product of arm in a process that may function as a transition from gene silence to Wnt-induced transcription. (815 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lgs
Protein BCL9 homolog; Legless (lgs) encodes a conserved transcriptional cofactor of the product of arm that is essential for the transcription of Wingless target genes. It contributes to growth regulation, cell survival and developmental patterning.
   
 0.999
arm
Armadillo segment polarity protein; Isoform neural may associate with CadN and participate in the transmission of developmental information. Can associate with alpha- catenin. Isoform cytoplasmic accumulates through wg signaling; arm function in wg signal transduction is required early in development for determination of neuroblast fate. Arm and Abl proteins function cooperatively at adherens junctions in both the CNS and epidermis. Belongs to the beta-catenin family.
   
 0.986
pan
Protein pangolin, isoform J; Pangolin (pan) encodes an HMG-domain transcription factor that is a key component of the canonical Wingless signaling pathway. It toggles between acting as a transcriptional repressor (when bound to the product of gro) and activator (when bound to the product of arm) to promote cell fate specification.
     
 0.954
gro
Groucho (gro) encodes a global developmental co-repressor in conjunction with manifold DNA-binding repressor partner proteins, which tether it to target promoters. It functions downstream of key signaling pathways such as Wg/Wnt and Dpp/TGF-beta. Notably, phosphorylation of the product of gro in response to MAPK activation weakens its repressor capacity.

His3:CG31613
Histone H3; Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
    
 
 0.876
Axn
Axin (Axn) encodes the key scaffolding protein for the canonical Wnt signalling pathway. In the absence of signal, it targets the product of arm for proteolysis inhibiting Wnt signalling. In the presence of signal, it forms a part of the membrane activation complex, disrupting the product of arm degradation. This pathway play roles in cell proliferation (imaginal disc), differentiation (embryonic patterning), death and stemness.
   
 
 0.872
Chi
Chip, isoform B; Chip (Chi) encodes a transcriptional co-factor that regulates gene expression. It contributes to the regulation of Notch signaling, leg development and axon guidance.
   
 
 0.871
skd
Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 13; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors (By similarity). Required [...]

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 12; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Required for leg and ey [...]

Ssdp
Sequence-specific single-stranded DNA-binding protein (Ssdp) encodes a DNA binding protein. It has been proposed to be an additional component of ap/Chi transcriptional complexes because it interacts with the product of Chi and lack of Ssdp produces defects similar to ap or Chi mutant phenotypes.
