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

kstKarst, isoform E; Karst (kst) encodes a protein that, together with the product of alpha-Spec, crosslinks F-actin and acts as a molecular scaffold. It is recruited to the apical membrane of epithelial cells by the apical determinant encoded by crb. The roles of the product of kst include endosomal trafficking, cell adhesion, cell signaling and growth control. (4337 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
alpha-Spec
Spectrin alpha chain; Spectrin is the major constituent of the cytoskeletal network underlying the erythrocyte plasma membrane. It associates with band 4.1 and actin to form the cytoskeletal superstructure of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Essential for larval survival and development. Stabilizes cell to cell interactions that are critical for the maintenance of cell shape and subcellular organization within embryonic tissues. Lva and spectrin may form a Golgi-based scaffold that mediates interaction of Golgi bodies with microtubules and facilitates Golgi- derived membrane secretion [...]

Ank
Ankyrin, isoform B; Ankyrin (Ank) encodes protein that is recruited to the plasma membrane by its association with the product of beta-Spec. It also binds to the adhesion protein encoded by Nrg leading to accumulation of the products of Ank and beta-Spec at sites of cell-cell adhesion.
   
 0.969
Ank2
Ankyrin 2, isoform U; Ankyrin 2 (Ank2) encodes a cytoskeletal binding protein required for proper function of the product of beta-Spec via direct interaction. It contributes to the regulation of short-term memory, sound perception, microtubule cytoskeleton and neuromuscular junction development and synapsis.

crb
Protein crumbs; Plays a central role in cell polarity establishment. Participates in the assembly, positioning and maintenance of adherens junctions via its interaction with the SAC complex. Controls the coalescence of the spots of zonula adherens (ZA) into a adhesive ring around the cells. It may act as a signal. Involved in morphogenesis of the photoreceptor rhabdomere, for positioning and growth of rhabdomere and AJ during the crucial period of photoreceptor extension along the proximodistal axis of the retina. Component of the crb-galla-Xpd (CGX) complex which is essential for prop [...]

hts
Hu li tai shao (hts) encodes an adducin homolog that is associated with the plasma membrane cytoskeleton, fusome and oocyte ring canals. It has essential functions in muscle, nerve and other tissues, and is required for fertility in males and females; Belongs to the aldolase class II family. Adducin subfamily.

nompC
No mechanoreceptor potential C (nompC) encodes a pore-forming subunit for a mechanosensitive non-selective cation channel. It belongs to the TRP channel family and is expressed in peripheral sensory neurons. It senses gentle touch and regulates locomotion in larval body wall neurons. In the adult, the product of nompC is involved in hearing transduction in the Johnston's organ.

Moe
Moesin/ezrin/radixin homolog 1; Involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. Together with wgn, involved in control of axon targeting of R8 and R2-R5 photoreceptors, independent of egr. In the nucleus, recruited to sites of active transcription by RNA polymerase II where it has a role in nuclear mRNA export together with the mRNA export factor PCID2 and other messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles.

kibra
Protein kibra; Regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein Hippo (Hpo), in complex with its regulatory protein Salvador (Sav), phosphorylates and activates Warts (Wts) in complex with its regulatory protein Mats, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates the Yorkie (Yki) oncoprotein. Kibra acts synergistically along with Ex and Mer to regulate the Hippo signalin [...]

Elk
Eag-like K[+] channel, isoform A; Voltage-gated potassium channel activity; voltage-gated cation channel activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: regulation of membrane potential; potassium ion transmembrane transport; potassium ion transport.
