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

eglEgalitarian, isoform B; Egalitarian (egl) encodes an RNA binding protein that links specific mRNAs to the minus end-directed microtubule motor, cytoplasmic dynein-1. (1004 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BicD
Protein bicaudal D; This protein is essential for differentiation. It may play a role in localizing of Nanos (a maternal determinant) activity in oocytes. During oogenesis, plays a specific role, together with Rab6 but independently of Sec5, in the polarization of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton, in oskar mRNA localization and in the anterodorsal secretion of grk. Plays a role in the biogenesis of annulate lamellae containing nuclear pore complex components.

ctp
Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic; Cut up (ctp) encodes the 8 kDa (LC8/DLC1) subunit of the cytoplasmic Dynein, as well as the Myosin V. It homodimerizes and binds to a variety of proteins. It is involved in both dynein-dependent and independent functions such as cell viability, axonal guidance, spermatid growth and individualization, and regulation of spermatogonial divisions; Belongs to the dynein light chain family.

dpy
Dumpy, isoform Q; Dumpy (dpy) encodes an extracellular protein involved in epidermal-cuticle attachment, aposition of wing surfaces and trachea development.
      
 0.836
grk
Protein gurken; Critical for defining the anterior-posterior and dorsal- ventral axes of the egg. May signal directly to dorsal follicle cells through the receptor torpedo (top). During oogenesis this signaling pathway instructs follicle cells to follow a dorsal pathway of development rather than the default ventral pathway.
   
 
 0.830
osk
Maternal effect protein oskar; Organizes the germ plasm and directs localization of the posterior determinant nanos. Oskar protein is required to keep nos RNA and staufen protein at the posterior pole.
    
 
 0.830
fs(1)K10
DNA-binding protein K10; Female sterile (1) K10 (fs(1)K10) encodes a nuclear protein of unknown biochemical function required during oogenesis for the proper localization of grk mRNA and protein in the oocyte, a key step in the specification of the dorsoventral axis of the oocyte, mature egg, and future embryo.
    
 
 0.758
orb
Oo18 RNA-binding protein (orb) encodes a RNA-binding protein required for the formation of the egg chamber and establishment of polarity during oogenesis. It is involved in mRNA polyadenylation and the regulation of osk mRNA translation.
   
 
 0.756
bcd
Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction.
    
 
 0.716
lin
Protein lines; Has a dual role as a segment polarity protein and as a modulator of the Abd-B protein. Required for Abd-B to activate the transcription of genes (including ems, cut and sal) that are involved in posterior spiracle morphogenesis. Also required for Abd-B to form an eighth abdominal denticle belt. Acts in a hierarchy downstream of drm and upstream of bowl during foregut and hindgut patterning and morphogenesis. Involved in cell rearrangement during elongation of the embryonic hindgut. Required to regulate expression of embryonic hindgut patterning genes in order to establis [...]

dsh
Segment polarity protein dishevelled; Required to establish coherent arrays of polarized cells and segments in embryos. Plays a role in wingless (wg) signaling, possibly through the reception of the wg signal by target cells and subsequent redistribution of arm protein in response to that signal in embryos. This signal seems to be required to establish planar cell polarity and identity.
