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

ced-6PTB domain-containing adapter protein ced-6; Plays a role in axon pruning in larval mushroom body neurons during metamorphosis. Plays a role in the infiltration of glial cell processes into mushroom body lobes and the subsequent engulfment of degenerating axon branches. Involved in Drpr-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Required for bacterial phagocytosis. During neuromuscular junction development, required for the clearance of pruned ghost boutons and presynaptic debris and for normal synaptic growth. (533 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
drpr
Protein draper; Receptor which is involved in the phagocytosis of a variety of cells including apoptotic cells, severed and pruned axons, degenerating dendrites, salivary gland cells, germline cells and bacteria. Binds to the ligand prtp which relocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface during apoptosis. Ligand-binding may promote tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by Src42a, interaction with shark and subsequent activation of phagocytosis. Also binds to the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. Required for the pha [...]

Ced-12
Ced-12 (Ced-12) encodes a protein that functions with Dock family members (encoded by mbc or spg) to regulate GTPase activity. It contributes to myoblast fusion, apoptotic cell engulfment, cell migration, and embryonic cellularization.
      
 0.966
Crk
Adapter molecule Crk; Adapter protein which interacts with C-terminal portion of mbc, homolog of human DOCK180. May play a role in cellular processes throughout development; Belongs to the CRK family.
   
  
 0.861
Unc-76
Unc-76, isoform A; Unc-76 (Unc-76) encodes a kinesin binding protein involved in axo-dendritic transport.
   
  
 0.839
Shark
Tyrosine-protein kinase Shark; Following axon injury, required for recruitment of drpr and glial cells to severed axons and for glial clearance of severed axons from the central nervous system. Together with Src42a and drpr, promotes the migration of macrophages to sites of wounding as part of a signaling cascade where Scr42a detects production of hydrogen peroxide at wound sites which triggers phosphorylation of drpr and subsequent recruitment and activation of shark. May be involved in signal transduction on the apical surface of ectodermal epithelial cells, regulating their polarity [...]

NimC4
Nimrod C4 (NimC4) encodes a transmembrane phagocytic receptor that binds phosphatidylserine exposed on apoptotic cells. Its roles include recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells during development.
    
 
 0.696
mbc
Myoblast city (mbc) encodes an unconventional bipartite GEF that, in combination with the product of Ced-12, activates the monomeric GTPase encoded by Rac1. It contributes to myoblast fusion, border cell migration and dorsal closure; Belongs to the DOCK family.
      
 0.689
AP-1-2beta
Adaptor Protein complex 1/2, beta subunit (AP-1-2beta) encodes a clathrin adaptor involved in vesicle trafficking and autophagy regulation.
    
 
 0.676
mtm
Myotubularin, isoform A; Myotubularin (mtm) encodes a phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphatase that, together with the products of Sbf and Rab21, regulates macrophage protrusion formation. It is involved in cortical actin cytoskeleton organization, chromosome segregation and endocytic recycling.
      
 0.662
Rab5
Rab5, isoform A; Rab5 (Rab5) encodes a monomeric GTPase that controls entry of endocytosed cargo into the early endosome and is required for vesicle re-uptake at the synapse. Altering the activity of the product of Rab5 affects many receptor-mediated signaling pathways as well as epithelial polarity.
