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

RhoGEF2Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 (RhoGEF2) encodes a protein involved in actin organization and contractility. It contributes to multiple actin-based processes including wound healing, cell shape and cell contraction. (2559 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Rho1
Ras-like GTP-binding protein Rho1; Has a role in regulating actin cytoskeletal organization: required during early development for proper execution of morphogenetic movements of individual cells and groups of cells important for the formation of the embryonic body plan. Plays a role in regulating dorsal closure during embryogenesis. During axis elongation, required for Rho-kinase Rok planar polarity and adherens junction localization as well as for generating a planar polarized distribution of the actin-binding protein Shrm. During embryogenesis, acts upstream of wash to regulate the d [...]
   
 0.995
cta
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha homolog; May play a role in a signal transduction pathway used during gastrulation. Required specifically for the ventral furrow and posterior midgut invaginations, where it is necessary for coordinating cell shape changes; Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(12) subfamily.
   
 0.993
mbc
Myoblast city (mbc) encodes an unconventional bipartite GEF that, in combination with the product of Ced-12, activates the monomeric GTPase encoded by Rac1. It contributes to myoblast fusion, border cell migration and dorsal closure; Belongs to the DOCK family.
   
 
 0.915
Rac1
Ras-related protein Rac1; During various developmental processes, regulates changes in cell morphology in response to extracellular signals. During oogenesis, mediates signaling from the tyrosine kinase (RTK) chemoattractant receptors (Egfr and Pvr) to the guidance pathway that control the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Once activating by Pvr and Egfr, promotes the formation of forward-directed actin protrusions which stabilize the DE- cadherin (shg)-mediated adhesions. In turn, DE-mediated adhesion bet [...]
   
 0.887
Cdc42
Cdc42 (Cdc42) encodes a GTPase signaling protein that acts as a molecular switch and functions as key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a central role in diverse biological processes including actin cytoskeleton organization, mophogenesis, hemocyte migration, cell polarity, and wound repair.
   
 0.860
Patj
Patj (Patj) encodes a PDZ domain-protein that forms an apical protein complex with the products of crb and sdt. It plays supporting roles in apico-basal cell polarity and stability of adherens junction. It is also involved in retinal morphogenesis, maintenance, and planar cell polarity; Belongs to the Patj family.
   
  
 0.857
SMC1
Structural maintenance of chromosomes 1 (SMC1) encodes an ATPase that heterodimerizes with the product of SMC3 to interact with the products of vtd and SA to form the cohesin ring complex. Cohesin encircles sister chromatids after DNA replication and has multiple roles in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair.
   
    0.855
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.
    
 
 0.847
Rok
Rho-associated protein kinase; Rho kinase (Rok) encodes a kinase that, when activated by the GTP form of the product of Rho1, phosphorylates and modulates cytoskeletal proteins, particularly myosin II. Dynamic regulation of this kinase in subcellular locales influences cell polarization, movement, and shape during interphase and mitosis.
   
 0.846
lost
LD30155p; Lost (lost) encodes a protein that interacts with the RNA-binding protein encoded by rump for posterior localization of mRNAs by diffusion/entrapment during late stages of oogenesis. The identification of the product of lost in various RNP complexes suggests a broad role in RNA metabolism.
