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

Sin1Stress-activated map kinase-interacting protein 1; Component of a multiprotein complex that phosphorylates Akt1, a protein that regulates the balance between cell survival and apoptosis through a cascade that primarily alters the function of transcription factors that regulate pro- and antiapoptotic genes. (569 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Lst8
Protein LST8 homolog; Subunit of TORC1 and TORC2, which regulate cell growth and survival in response to nutrient and hormonal signals. Essential for TORC2-mediated regulation of cell growth and phosphorylation of Akt1. However it is not required for TORC1-mediated functions such as TORC1- dependent regulation of cell growth, autophagy and phosphorylation of S6K ; Belongs to the WD repeat LST8 family.
   
 0.999
rictor
Rapamycin-insensitive companion of Tor (rictor) encodes an essential component of TOR complex 2 where it controls phosphorylation of protein kinases, such as those encoded by Akt1 and trc. The product of rictor contributes to the regulation of tissue growth, dendritic tiling, long term memory, tolerance to heat stress, and mitochondrial quality control.
   
 0.999
Tor
Serine/threonine-protein kinase Tor; Promotes cell and tissue growth, maintains tissue homeostatis and controls responses to environmental stress and aging. Regulates growth during animal development by coupling growth factor signaling to nutrient availability. Central regulators of autophagy. May be involved in atg1 phosphorylation. May also be involved, directly or indirectly, in the control of neuronal function. Phosphorylates S6K/p70S6K, in vitro. May regulate the activity of S6K. Overexpression inhibits growth and reduces cell size. Affects the timing of neuronal cell differentiat [...]
   
 0.999
PRAS40
Proline-rich Akt substrate 40 kDa (PRAS40) encodes a protein that functions to link Insulin/IGF signaling and the activation of the product of Tor in a tissue-specific manner, affecting the activity of the product of Tor in the ovary but not in other fly tissues.
    
 
 0.999
raptor
Raptor, isoform B; Raptor (raptor) encodes a crucial component of target of rapamycin (TOR) complex 1, which is a conserved regulator of cell growth and metabolism.
    
 0.991
S6k
Ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6k) encodes an important component of the target of rapamycin pathway. It is involved in the control of synapse development, autophagy and cell size.
    
 
 0.960
nonC
Serine/threonine-protein kinase Smg1; Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in mRNA surveillance. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q. Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons, probably by phosphorylating Upf1.
    
 
 0.931
Akt1
RAC serine/threonine-protein kinase; Serine/threonine kinase involved in various developmental processes. During early embryogenesis, acts as a survival protein. During mid-embryogenesis, phosphorylates and activates trh, a transcription factor required for tracheal cell fate determination. Also regulates tracheal cell migration. Later in development, acts downstream of PI3K and Pk61C/PDK1 in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and antagonizing FOXO transcription factor. Controls follicle cell size during oogenesis. M [...]
    
 0.876
Rheb
GTP-binding protein Rheb homolog; Binds GTP and exhibits intrinsic GTPase activity (By similarity). Activates the protein kinase activity of TORC1, and thereby plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Stimulates the phosphorylation of S6K through activation of TORC1 signaling. May also have a role in activating TORC2 signaling.
    
 
 0.826
gig
Gigas, isoform A; Gigas (gig) encodes a tumour suppressor protein that, together with with the product of Tsc1, controls cellular growth via antagonizing insulin and TOR signalling pathways.
