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

apApterous (ap) encodes a transcription factor that functions in a tetramer consisting of a dimer of the product of Chi and two monomers ODF the product of ap. It contributes to the dorsal identity of wing cells, muscle development, juvenile hormone production and neuronal path finding. (469 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
    
 
 0.953
Bx
Beadex, isoform D; Beadex (Bx) encodes a LIM-only protein that regulates activity of LIM-homeodomain proteins such as the product of ap by binding to form hetero-tetramers. It regulates the activity of the product of ap in the wing disc, and presumably other tissues.
   
 
0.847
fng
Fringe glycosyltransferase; Glycosyltransferase involved in the elongation of O-linked ligands to activate Notch signaling. Possesses fucose-specific beta- 1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity; extends the O-linked fucose on the Notch EGF repeats. Boundary-specific cell-signaling molecule that is responsible for dorsal-ventral cell interactions during wing development.
   
 
 0.820
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.
    
 
 0.727
vg
Protein vestigial; Involved in determining which thoracic imaginal disk cells will form wings and halteres, perhaps by interacting with other nuclear regulatory proteins. When in combination with scalloped (sd), it acts as a transcriptional activation complex that regulates gene expression in the wing. Binding to sd switches the DNA target selectivity of sd. Required and sufficient for cell proliferation at the dorsal/ventral (D/V) boundary of the wing imaginal disk. Also required for cell proliferation in the wing imaginal disk, mediated via activation of E2f. By interacting with Dhfr [...]

luna
Krueppel-like factor luna; Probable transcription factor that is required for cell differentiation. Essential for proper separation of the sister chromatids during early nuclear division cycles in the syncytial pre-blastoderm embryo.
   
 
 0.636
Catsup
Protein catecholamines up; Negatively regulates tyrosine hydroxylase activity; Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family. KE4/Catsup subfamily.
      
 0.604
bor
ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 3A homolog; Required to maintain the proper number of mitochondria in neurons and muscles.
      
 0.600
kn
Transcription factor collier; May act as a 'second-level regulator' of head patterning. Required for establishment of the PS(-1)/PS0 parasegmental border and formation of the intercalary segment. Required for expression of the segment polarity genes hedgehog, engrailed and wingless, and the segment-identity genes CAP and collar in the intercalary segment. Required at the onset of the gastrulation for the correct formation of the mandibular segment.
   
  
 0.590
acj6
Inhibitory POU protein; Modulates gene transcription; simultaneously generates both a specific activator and an inhibitor of gene transcription, capable of modulating two distinct regulatory programs during neural development. Has a role in olfactory behavior; Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-4 subfamily.
