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

LacLachesin (Lac) encodes a cell surface protein that belongs to the Ig superfamily. It is required for the proper ultrastructural organisation of septate junctions. Lac is required for tracheal system morphogenesis and for muscle contractions associated with peristalsis. (359 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sinu
Sinuous (sinu) encodes a claudin that contributes to the assembly of septate junctions. It is involved in the development of heart, tracheal tree and the glial blood-brain barrier.
   
 
 0.913
Nrx-IV
Neurexin-4; Seems to play a role in the formation and function of septate junctions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion. Required for the blood-brain barrier formation. Belongs to the neurexin family.
   
  
 0.912
kune
Kune-kune; It is involved in the biological process described with: establishment of glial blood-brain barrier; regulation of tube length, open tracheal system; septate junction assembly.
   
  
 0.867
Cont
Contactin; Required for organization of septate junctions and paracellular barrier functions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion.
   
0.784
Nrg
Neuroglian; The long isoform may play a role in neural and glial cell adhesion in the developing embryo. The short isoform may be a more general cell adhesion molecule involved in other tissues and imaginal disk morphogenesis. Vital for embryonic development. Essential for septate junctions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion. Required for the blood-brain barrier formation.
   
0.759
nrv2
Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-2; This is the non-catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of Na(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. The beta subunit regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodium pumps transported to the plasma membrane.
   
  
 0.757
Fas3
Fasciclin-3; Mediates cell adhesion in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. It plays a role in axon outgrowth, guidance and fasciculation of the developing nervous system.
   
 
 0.735
Tsf2
Transferrin 2 (Tsf2) encodes a protein that requires binding with iron for protein function. It is localised at the paracellular septate junctions in epithelial tissues and is required for junction assembly. Tsf2 mutants show overelongated tracheal tubes.
   
 
 0.733
Mcr
Macroglobulin complement-related (Mcr) encodes a transmembrane protein of the conserved thioester-containing protein (TEP) superfamily including macroglobulins and complement proteins. It is a core component of septate junctions, which provide an essential paracellular barrier to epithelia.
   
  
 0.658
Bsg
Basigin, isoform G; Basigin (Bsg) encodes an IgG family glycoprotein that promotes cytoskeletal rearrangements and lamellipodia formation in cultured insect cells. It contributes to photoreceptor cell morphogenesis, sarcomere organization and spermatid development.
