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

NrgNeuroglian; The long isoform may play a role in neural and glial cell adhesion in the developing embryo. The short isoform may be a more general cell adhesion molecule involved in other tissues and imaginal disk morphogenesis. Vital for embryonic development. Essential for septate junctions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion. Required for the blood-brain barrier formation. (1309 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Nrx-IV
Neurexin-4; Seems to play a role in the formation and function of septate junctions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion. Required for the blood-brain barrier formation. Belongs to the neurexin family.
   
 
 0.994
Cont
Contactin; Required for organization of septate junctions and paracellular barrier functions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion.
  
0.992
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.
   
 
 0.924
Atpalpha
Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha; This is the catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This action creates the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions, providing the energy for active transport of various nutrients. Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IIC subfamily.
   
  
 0.909
sinu
Sinuous (sinu) encodes a claudin that contributes to the assembly of septate junctions. It is involved in the development of heart, tracheal tree and the glial blood-brain barrier.
  
  
 0.897
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.
    
 
 0.892
Fas3
Fasciclin-3; Mediates cell adhesion in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. It plays a role in axon outgrowth, guidance and fasciculation of the developing nervous system.
   
 
 0.862
nrv2
Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit beta-2; This is the non-catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of Na(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. The beta subunit regulates, through assembly of alpha/beta heterodimers, the number of sodium pumps transported to the plasma membrane.
   
  
 0.858
elav
Protein elav; Required for the proper development and maintenance of neurons presumably by affecting RNA metabolism. Belongs to the RRM elav family.
   
 
 0.817
Fas2
Fasciclin-2; Neuronal recognition molecule for the MP1 axon pathway, pathway recognition for axons during the development of nerve fascicles.
