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

MntMnt, isoform I; Mnt (Mnt) encodes a protein that belongs to the basic-helic-loop-helix-zipper class of transcription factors, which form heterodimers with the protein encoded by Max. Mnt product acts as a repressor of transcription by recruiting a co-repressor complex to its genomic binding sites. It antagonizes cell growth promoting functions of the product encoded by Myc and its depletion produces flies with larger cells, increased weight, and decreased lifespan. (790 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Max
Max (Max) encodes a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix-zipper family of transcription factors. It specifically forms heterodimers with the products of Myc and Mnt enabling the binding and transcriptional activity of the heterodimeric complex, which regulate genes involved in cell and organismal growth.

Sin3A
Sin3A, isoform G; Sin3A (Sin3A) encodes a chromatin regulator with roles during muscle development, cell migration and Wnt signalling regulation.
   
 
 0.881
Myc
Myc protein; Participates in the regulation of gene transcription. Binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence CAC[GA]TG. Seems to activate the transcription of growth-related genes; required for cellular proliferation and growth. Functions in the TORC2-mediated regulation of cell growth, acting downstream of the TORC2 complex. Inhibits the demethylase activity of Lid. Activates transcription of mbm. Has a role in ribosome biogenesis and endoreplication in fat body cells by activating the transcription of LTV1. Able to induce the SCF E3 ubiqui [...]

Usf
Usf, isoform B; Usf (Usf) encodes a bHLH family transcription factor that recognizes E-boxes in the Ste promoter.
   
 
 0.748
Rab40
Rab40, isoform B; GTP binding; GTPase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: protein localization to plasma membrane; vesicle-mediated transport; Rab protein signal transduction; intracellular protein transport.
   
  
 0.677
foxo
Forkhead box protein O; Transcription factor involved in the regulation of the insulin signaling pathway. Consistently activates both the downstream target Thord4EBP and the feedback control target InR. Involved in negative regulation of the cell cycle, modulating cell growth and proliferation. In response to cellular stresses, such as nutrient deprivation or increased levels of reactive oxygen species, foxo is activated and inhibits growth through the action of target genes such as Thor. Foxo activated in the adult fat body can regulate lifespan in adults; an insulin peptide itself m [...]

bigmax
GM14426p; Bigmax (bigmax) encodes a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper transcription factor. Together with its binding partner encoded by Mondo, the product of bigmax is involved in sugar-dependent gene regulation. It is involved in transcriptional control of many metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, de novo lipogenesis and the pentose phosphate pathway. Loss of bigmax function produces dietary sugar intolerance.
    
 
 0.671
lid
Lysine-specific demethylase lid; Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9', H3 'Lys-27', H3 'Lys-36', H3 'Lys-79' or H4 'Lys-20'. Specifically demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Required for the correct regulation of homeotic genes during development. Plays a role in the regulation of the circadian rhythm and in maintaining the normal periodicity of the circadian clock. Regulates the expression of clock-controlled genes including tim, per and cry.
   
 
 0.670
mbt
Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK mbt; Involved in neurogenesis of the adult central nervous system, and together with Cdc42, regulates photoreceptor cell morphogenesis. Phosphorylates exogenous substrates when activated by Cdc42.
   
   0.665
Mondo
Mlx interactor alpha; Mondo (Mondo) encodes a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper transcription factor involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Together with its binding partner encoded by bigmax, it controls sugar-dependent gene expression, including activation of genes involved in lipogenesis. Mondo mutants are intolerant to dietary sugars and have impaired muscle function.
