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

unpgHomeobox protein unplugged; Plays a regulatory role in neural branching of the tracheae: segment-specific aspects of these neural branching patterns appear to be generated by homeotic regulation of expression. May have a role with oc/otd in the postembryonic development of the brain. (485 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
sv
Shaven, isoform A; Shaven (sv) encodes a transcription factor and a member of the paired box family of genes. It is primarily involved in the terminal differentiation of specific cell types during the development of a variety of sensory organs, including the bristles and the eye.
      
 0.633
phtf
Putative homeodomain transcription factor; May play a role in transcription regulation.
      
 0.600
exd
Homeobox protein extradenticle; Transcription factor which acts with the selector homeodomain proteins altering the regulation of downstream target genes such as wingless (wg), teashirt (tsh) and decapentaplegic (dpp), thus affecting segmental identity. Delimits the eye field and prevent inappropriate eye development. Required for proper localization of chordotonal organs within the peripheral nervous system.
    
 
 0.515
D1
D1 chromosomal protein (D1) encodes a multi-AT-hook chromosomal protein that associates with AT-rich satellites, including the SAT-III repeats of the X-chromosome. The product of D1 binds to the minor-groove of the DNA and favors heterochromatin-mediated gene repression involving its interaction with topoisomerase II.
      
 0.461
Optix
Optix (Optix) encodes a homeobox containing DNA binding protein and a member of the SIX class of proteins. It functions as a repressor via interaction with the transcriptional co-repressor encoded by gro. It is involved in eye formation and morphogenetic furrow movement.
      
 0.455
Poxn
Paired box pox-neuro protein; Pox neuro (Poxn) encodes a transcriptional factor that specifies the differences between mono-innervated external sensory (m-es) organs and poly-innervated external sensory (p-es) organs. Poxn expression in the external sensory organ precursor determines the fate to form larval p-es organs and adult chemosensory bristles.
      
 0.445
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.
      
 0.413
hkb
Huckebein (hkb) is expressed in patches within the embryonic neuroectoderm and a subset of neuroblasts and their progeny, where it is required for proper neuronal specification and axon targeting. It is a terminal gap gene mediating the maternal terminal information at the posterior end of the blastoderm embryo.
   
  
 0.406
ths
Thisbe, isoform A; Thisbe (ths) encodes is a Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and ligand for the FGF receptor encoded by htl. It regulates the development of somatic and visceral muscle in the mesoderm, cardioblasts and glial cells. Its roles include acting as a chemoattractant in directional cell migration, and regulating adhesion, differentiation, and cell survival.
