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

AP-2alphaAP-2 complex subunit alpha; Adaptins are components of the adapter complexes which link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. Clathrin-associated protein complexes are believed to interact with the cytoplasmic tails of membrane proteins, leading to their selection and concentration. AP- 2alpha is a subunit of the plasma membrane adapter. (952 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
AP-2sigma
Adaptor Protein complex 2, sigma subunit (AP-2sigma) encodes a component of the AP-2 adaptor complex, which recruits certain transmembrane proteins into clathrin-coated pits for endocytic internalization.
   
 0.999
AP-2mu
Adaptor Protein complex 2, mu subunit (AP-2mu) encodes a component of the AP-2 adaptor complex, which recruits certain transmembrane proteins into clathrin-coated pits for endocytic internalization.
   
 0.999
numb
Numb (numb) encodes a membrane-associated inhibitor of Notch signaling. It controls neuroblast and sense organ precursor asymmetric division. It is asymmetrically localized during mitosis and segregates exclusively to one of two daughter cells.
   
 
 0.998
AP-1-2beta
Adaptor Protein complex 1/2, beta subunit (AP-1-2beta) encodes a clathrin adaptor involved in vesicle trafficking and autophagy regulation.
   
0.997
Eps-15
Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate clone 15 (Eps-15) encodes a multi-domain adaptor protein involved in endocytosis. It interacts with several other endocytic factors such as those encoded by shi, stnB, Dap160 and AP-2alpha. It is enriched at sites of endocytosis and is required for normal synaptic bouton development and vesicle endocytosis during high frequency stimulation.
   
 0.994
Chc
Clathrin heavy chain (Chc) encodes a protein that forms part of the clathrin complex, which is the major component of coated vesicles.
   
 0.992
cm
Mu3 subunit of clathrin-associated protein complex AP-3; Cargo adaptor activity; Belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunit family.
   
 0.970
AP-1mu
Adaptor Protein complex 1, mu subunit (AP-1mu) encodes a clathrin adaptor involved in intracellular transport. It controls the trafficking of proteins, including the products of N and spdo.
   
 0.968
Clc
Clathrin light chain; Clathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits and vesicles.
    
 0.964
AP-1sigma
AP complex subunit sigma; Clathrin adaptor activity; clathrin binding; Belongs to the adaptor complexes small subunit family.
   
 0.960
