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

miltTrafficking kinesin-binding protein milt; Required for kinesin-mediated axonal transport of mitochondria to nerve terminals. The oocyte acquires the majority of its mitochondria by competitive bidirectional transport along microtubules mediated by the Milton adapter. Mitochondria enter the young oocyte en mass from interconnected germ cells to generate the large aggregate known as the Balbiani body. Milt and Miro form an essential protein complex that links Khc to mitochondria for light chain- independent, anterograde transport of mitochondria. (1256 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Miro
Mitochondrial Rho GTPase; Mitochondrial GTPase involved in mitochondrial trafficking. Milt and Miro form an essential protein complex that links Khc to mitochondria for light chain-independent, anterograde transport of mitochondria. Required for axonal transport to synapses within nerve terminals. Required presynaptically but not postsynaptically at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs).

Khc
Kinesin heavy chain; Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. Milt and Miro form an essential protein complex that links Khc to mitochondria for light chain-independent, anterograde transport of mitochondria. Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Kinesin family. Kinesin subfamily.
   
 
 0.974
Pink1
PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (Pink1) is the ortholog of human PINK1, a gene mutated in autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease. Pink1 encodes a mitochondrially targeted Ser-Thr kinase. It has been linked to a number of cellular functions including altering mitochondrial dynamics, the autophagic degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria, and the proper function of Complex I of the electron transport chain.
    
 
 0.837
CG3588
Uncharacterized protein, isoform E; SH3 domain binding.
    
 
 0.793
Marf
Transmembrane GTPase Marf; Mitochondrial assembly regulatory factor (Marf) encodes a dynamin-family GTPase that mediates outer mitochondrial membrane tethering and fusion. Marf loss causes mitochondrial fragmentation and endoplasmic reticular stress that evoke skeletal muscle, retinal and heart tube dysfunction; Belongs to the TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase superfamily. Dynamin/Fzo/YdjA family. Mitofusin subfamily.
   
 0.681
Klc
Kinesin light chain; Kinesin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. The light chain may function in coupling of cargo to the heavy chain or in the modulation of its ATPase activity.
    
 
 0.626
fzo
Transmembrane GTPase fzo; Essential transmembrane GTPase, which mediates mitochondrial fusion during spermatogenesis. In early spermatocytes, fusion of mitochondria give rise to two organelles named Nebenkern and constitutes an important step in mitochondria morphology, which is balanced between fusion and fission. Essential for fertility.
   
 0.557
Oga
O-GlcNAcase (Oga) encodes a protein that, together with the product of sxc, is responsible for O-GlcNAcylation. O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic post-translational modification that modifies serine and threonine residues of proteins, and plays important roles in biological functions such as metabolism and neurodegeneration.
      
 0.512
cno
Canoe, isoform E; Canoe (cno) encodes a scaffold protein in adherens junctions that is involved in morphogenesis in a variety of tissues.
   
    0.491
Fis1
Mitochondrial fission 1 protein; Involved in the fragmentation of the mitochondrial network and its perinuclear clustering. Functions downstream of Pink1 and upstream of Drp1 to regulate mitochondrial fission.
