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

Fs(2)KetImportin subunit beta; Required for nuclear protein import and mediates docking of import substrate to distinct nucleoporins. In Drosophila, may not function as a snRNP import receptor as it does not interact with components of the snRNP complex such as snRNP U1, U2, U4/U6 and Snup. (884 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Snup
Snurportin-1; Snurportin (Snup) encodes a transport adaptor protein that functions together with the product of msk to carry out nuclear import of small nuclear RNPs. It binds specifically to the 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine cap structure that is present on mature snRNAs. Snup is an essential gene, and the protein shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Kap-alpha1
Importin subunit alpha; Karyopherin alpha1 (Kap-alpha1) encodes a protein that is involved in spermatogenesis and the nuclear import of the product of yki.
   
 0.985
Ran
GTP-binding nuclear protein Ran; GTPase involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, participating both to the import and the export from the nucleus of proteins and RNAs. Switches between a cytoplasmic GDP- and a nuclear GTP-bound state by nucleotide exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Nuclear import receptors such as importin beta bind their substrates only in the absence of GTP- bound RAN and release them upon direct interaction with GTP-bound RAN, while export receptors behave in the opposite way. Thereby, RAN controls cargo loading and release by transport receptors in the proper compartment [...]

msk
D-Importin 7/RanBP7; Moleskin (msk) encodes an importin that contributes to protein import into the nucleus. It is involved in eye development, muscle attachment and wing cell fate specification.
   
 
 0.971
Nup153
Nuclear pore complex protein Nup153; Component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a complex required for the trafficking across the nuclear envelope. Functions as a scaffolding element in the nuclear phase of the NPC. Essential for the nuclear import of nuclear localization signal (NLS)-containing proteins in a Importin alpha/Importin beta receptor-dependent manner. Required for nuclear import of Mad. Plays a role in chromosomal organization and gene expression regulation; stimulates transcription by promoting the formation of an open chromatin environment. Binds chromatin to nucleopor [...]

Kap-alpha3
Importin subunit alpha; Karyopherin alpha3 (Kap-alpha3) encodes a protein required for the nuclear import of the product of N; Belongs to the importin alpha family.
   
 
 0.955
Pen
Importin subunit alpha; Pendulin (Pen) encodes a member of the Importin-alpha protein family, an essential adaptor in the Ran-GTP nuclear transport cycle binding a cargo protein to the nuclear import receptor encoded by Fs(2)Ket. In addition to nuclear protein import, the product of Pen is involved in centrosome duplication, mitotic spindle dynamics, nuclear envelope assembly, ring canal formation in the female germline, geotaxic behaviour and perception of pain.

Nop60B
H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit 4; Plays a central role in ribosomal RNA processing. Probable catalytic subunit of H/ACA small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (H/ACA snoRNP) complex, which catalyzes pseudouridylation of rRNA. This involves the isomerization of uridine such that the ribose is subsequently attached to C5, instead of the normal N1. Pseudouridine ('psi') residues may serve to stabilize the conformation of rRNAs. Required for maintenance of the germline stem cell lineage during spermatogenesis; Belongs to the pseudouridine synthase TruB family.

Nup358
E3 SUMO-protein ligase RanBP2; E3 SUMO-protein ligase (By similarity). Component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a complex required for trafficking across the nuclear envelope. Required for nuclear import of nuclear localization signal (NLS)-containing proteins in an importin alpha/importin beta-dependent manner, but also for the nuclear import of specific proteins such as phosphorylated Mad or the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone receptor Met as part of the juvenile hormone signal transduction pathway. Plays a role in nuclear mRNA export by recruiting the mRNA transport complex com [...]

Ribosomal RNA-processing protein 8; Probable methyltransferase required to silence rDNA. Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. RRP8 family.
