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

futschMicrotubule-associated protein futsch; During embryogenesis, necessary for dendritic and axonal organization and growth at the neuromuscular junction through the regulation of the synaptic microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubule hairpin loops are found within a small subset of synaptic boutons at the neuromuscular synapse, these loops are stabilized by Futsch. Loop morphology and dynamics suggest that rearrangement of these microtubule-based loops is a critical component of the process of bouton division and for subsequent nerve-terminal growth and branching. Translation is repressed by [...] (5495 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Fmr1
Synaptic functional regulator FMR1; Polyribosome-associated RNA-binding protein that plays a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity through the regulation of protein synthesis of mRNAs. Plays a role as a negative translational regulator of specific mRNAs. Represses translation of the microtubule-associated protein futsch mRNA to regulate microtubule-dependent synaptic growth and function. May also be involved in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated translational suppression as part of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Required for stability of the central pair of microtubule [...]

brp
Bruchpilot, isoform J; Bruchpilot (brp) encodes a cytoskeletal protein critical for structural integrity of electron-dense projection (T-bar) at pre-active zones. It contributes to Ca[2+] channel clustering, size regulation of the synaptic vesicle readily releaseable pool and anesthesia-resistant memory formation.
   
 
 0.875
TBPH
TAR DNA-binding protein-43 homolog (TBPH) encodes an RNA-binding protein that belongs to the hnRNP family. It contributes to synaptic growth of motor neurons and glial wrapping.
    
 
 0.861
GluRIIC
Glutamate receptor IIC (GluRIIC) encodes a subunit of the muscle glutamate receptor that responds to neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction. It is required for the synaptic localization of the products of GluRIIA and GluRIIB and for synaptic transmission.
      
 0.835
tau
Microtubule-associated protein; Microtubule binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: neuron projection development; rhabdomere morphogenesis; negative regulation of neuron death; microtubule cytoskeleton organization.
   
 
 0.830
elav
Protein elav; Required for the proper development and maintenance of neurons presumably by affecting RNA metabolism. Belongs to the RRM elav family.
   
  
 0.811
Fas2
Fasciclin-2; Neuronal recognition molecule for the MP1 axon pathway, pathway recognition for axons during the development of nerve fascicles.
   
 
 0.807
dlg1
Disks large 1 tumor suppressor protein; During embryonic development, some isoforms are essential for proper neuronal differentiation and organization. Required for cell polarity; maintenance of apicobasal polarity. Plays a critical role at septate junctions in cellular growth control during larval development. The presence of a guanylate kinase domain suggests involvement in cellular adhesion as well as signal transduction to control cellular proliferation.
   
 
 0.765
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.
   
 
 0.747
sgg
Protein kinase shaggy; Required for several developmental events such as syncytial blastoderm formation and embryonic segmentation. Is involved in transcriptional regulation. Required for arm phosphorylation. Wg signaling operates by inactivating the sgg repression of en autoactivation. Negatively controls the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) growth in presynaptic motoneurons. Plays a role in the regulation of microtubule dynamics and actin cytoskeleton during embryogenesis. Required for phosphorylation of sra in activated eggs. Essential for completion of meiosis, possibly by triggering c [...]
