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

crbProtein 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 [...] (2253 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Patj
Patj (Patj) encodes a PDZ domain-protein that forms an apical protein complex with the products of crb and sdt. It plays supporting roles in apico-basal cell polarity and stability of adherens junction. It is also involved in retinal morphogenesis, maintenance, and planar cell polarity; Belongs to the Patj family.
   
 0.999
sdt
Stardust, isoform G; Stardust (sdt) encodes membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein involved in the maintenance of apico-basal cell polarity and the organization of zonula adherens; Belongs to the MAGUK family.
   
 0.999
par-6
Par-6, isoform A; Par-6 (par-6) encodes a scaffold protein that forms a complex with the products of baz and aPKC and with other cortical, cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins. It is involved in cell polarization, actin-based protrusion formation and tracheal branching.
   
 0.998
veli
Protein lin-7 homolog; Plays a role in establishing and maintaining the asymmetric distribution of channels and receptors at the plasma membrane of polarized cells; Belongs to the lin-7 family.
    
 0.998
aPKC
Atypical protein kinase C; Serine/threonine protein kinase which is required for apico- basal cell polarity in the germ line as well as in epithelial and neural precursor cells, for epithelial planar cell polarity and for cell proliferation. During oocyte development, required for the posterior translocation of oocyte specification factors and for the posterior establishment of the microtubule organizing center within the presumptive oocyte. Phosphorylates l(2)gl which restricts l(2)gl activity to the oocyte posterior and regulates posterior enrichment of par-1, leading to establishmen [...]
    
 0.997
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.
   
 0.996
dlt
Protein disks lost; Regulator of cell proliferation and cell survival of differentiated cells independent of cell division. Essential for imaginal disks formation. Not involved in cell polarity.
    
 
 0.990
baz
Bazooka, isoform B; Bazooka (baz) encodes a scaffold protein that forms a complex with the products of par-6 and aPKC and with other cortical, cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins. It functions in cell polarization pathways in epithelial, neuronal and other cell types.
   
 
 0.973
ex
Protein expanded; 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. Ex acts synergistically along with Mer and Kibra to regulate the Hippo signa [...]
   
 
 0.953
Zyx
Zyx102.44 isoform; Zyxin (Zyx) encodes an actin cytoskeleton regulator found at cell-matrix junctions and cell-cell adherens junctions. Its roles include mechanotransduction and regulation of the Hippo signaling pathway.
