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

brBroad-complex core protein isoform 6; Broad-complex proteins are required for puffing and transcription of salivary gland late genes during metamorphosis. (1011 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pnt
ETS-like protein pointed; ETS transcription factor with a prominent role during development of the eye and the nervous system. Required for glial- neuronal cell interactions at the ventral midline which are necessary for the proper elaboration of commissures in the embryonic CNS. [Isoform P1]: Required for normal EGFR-induced photoreceptor development. Following transcriptional activation by isoform P2, acts as a constitutive activator of transcription, leading to induction of target genes essential for photoreceptor development. In larval brains, involved in the maintenance of type II [...]

EcR
Ecdysone receptor (EcR) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of usp to form the nuclear ecdysone receptor heterodimer, which modulates, in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, the activities of hundreds of genes in a tissue- and stage-specific way. EcR is widely expressed in embryonic and larval tissues and in some adult tissues where its activities (modulated by the hormone ecdysone) trigger both molting and metamorphosis.

Brca2
Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein homolog; BRCA2, DNA repair associated (Brca2) encodes the ortholog of the human BRCA2 gene, which acts as a tumor suppressor. It is involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. During meiosis in females it is involved in DNA repair and in the activation of a meiotic checkpoint. It co-immunoprecipitates with the checkpoint protein encoded by Rad9.
      
 0.683
usp
Protein ultraspiracle; Receptor for ecdysone. May be an important modulator of insect metamorphosis. Plays an important part in embryonic and post- embryonic development. Binds to ecdysone response elements (ECRES) such as in the promoter region of s15 chorion gene; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
    
 
 0.683
ftz-f1
Nuclear hormone receptor FTZ-F1; Acts as a cofactor to fushi tarazu (ftz). Facilitates the binding of ftz to DNA. Binds the sequence element 5'-YCYYGGYCR-3' in the zebra element of ftz. Probably also functions as a receptor for a yet unknown ligand; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR5 subfamily.

Eip74EF
Ecdysone-induced protein 74EF (Eip74EF) encodes a transcription factor that responds to different concentrations of 20-hydroxyecdysone. It contributes to puparium formation and autophagy; Belongs to the ETS family.
      
 0.666
Sgs4
Salivary glue protein Sgs-4; It is involved in the biological process described with: puparial adhesion.
      
 0.629
Kr-h1
Kruppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1) encodes a transcriptional regulator involved in axon pathfinding, neurite and axon remodeling as well as pupal photoreceptor maturation. In all cases, the function of the product of Kr-h1 is linked to that of the 20-hydroxyecdysone hormone.
      
 0.625
Dronc
Caspase Nc subunit 1; Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Effector of steroid-mediated apoptosis during insect metamorphosis. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death. Interaction with Diap1 is required to suppress Dronc-mediated cell death; via Diap1-mediated ubiquitination of Dronc. Rate-limiting caspase in rpr and hid death pathway.
      
 0.602
Eip75B
Ecdysone-induced protein 75B (Eip75B) encodes a nuclear receptor that interacts with the receptor encoded by Hr3. The product of Eip75B regulates feeding behavior, fat deposition, and developmental timing in response to nitric oxide (NO) signaling. It also acts downstream from NO in the nervous system, where it controls neuronal remodeling.
