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

SharkTyrosine-protein kinase Shark; Following axon injury, required for recruitment of drpr and glial cells to severed axons and for glial clearance of severed axons from the central nervous system. Together with Src42a and drpr, promotes the migration of macrophages to sites of wounding as part of a signaling cascade where Scr42a detects production of hydrogen peroxide at wound sites which triggers phosphorylation of drpr and subsequent recruitment and activation of shark. May be involved in signal transduction on the apical surface of ectodermal epithelial cells, regulating their polarity [...] (939 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Dok
Downstream of kinase (Dok) encodes a membrane-associated protein that functions upstream of the product of Shark to activate Jun kinase signaling during embryonic dorsal closure.
   
 0.962
drpr
Protein draper; Receptor which is involved in the phagocytosis of a variety of cells including apoptotic cells, severed and pruned axons, degenerating dendrites, salivary gland cells, germline cells and bacteria. Binds to the ligand prtp which relocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface during apoptosis. Ligand-binding may promote tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by Src42a, interaction with shark and subsequent activation of phagocytosis. Also binds to the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. Required for the pha [...]

ced-6
PTB domain-containing adapter protein ced-6; Plays a role in axon pruning in larval mushroom body neurons during metamorphosis. Plays a role in the infiltration of glial cell processes into mushroom body lobes and the subsequent engulfment of degenerating axon branches. Involved in Drpr-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Required for bacterial phagocytosis. During neuromuscular junction development, required for the clearance of pruned ghost boutons and presynaptic debris and for normal synaptic growth.
   
 
 0.803
CaBP1
Protein disulfide-isomerase A6 homolog; Calcium-binding protein 1 (CaBP1) encodes a protein that resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. It seems to be relocated outside cells during apoptosis and involved in the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.
    
 
 0.639
Ced-12
Ced-12 (Ced-12) encodes a protein that functions with Dock family members (encoded by mbc or spg) to regulate GTPase activity. It contributes to myoblast fusion, apoptotic cell engulfment, cell migration, and embryonic cellularization.
   
 
 0.618
mt:ND3
NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 3; Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) that is believed to belong to the minimal assembly required for catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone (By similarity).
    
 
 0.511
crq
Croquemort (crq) encodes a member of the scavenger receptor class B sub-family. It is expressed in plasmatocyte/macrophages and promotes apoptotic cell clearance. In epidermal cells it plays a role in phagosome maturation in both dendrite pruning and injury.
   
 
 0.503
mt:ND1
NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 1; Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) that is believed to belong to the minimal assembly required for catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone (By similarity).
    
   0.501
pall
Pallbearer (pall) encodes an F-Box protein. In response to apoptosis, it translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of macrophages to promote apoptotic cell clearance by degrading the product of RpS6, and promote actin remodeling through activation of the product of Rac2.
      
 0.497
rtp
MORN repeat-containing protein 4 homolog; Plays a role in promoting axonal degeneration following neuronal injury by toxic insult or trauma. Organizes rhabdomeric components to suppress random activation of the phototransduction cascade and thus increases the signaling fidelity of dark-adapted photoreceptors. The rtp/ninaC complex is required for stability of inad and inac and the normal termination of phototransduction in the retina.
