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

Cdc42Cdc42 (Cdc42) encodes a GTPase signaling protein that acts as a molecular switch and functions as key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a central role in diverse biological processes including actin cytoskeleton organization, mophogenesis, hemocyte migration, cell polarity, and wound repair. (191 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
par-6
Par-6, isoform A; Par-6 (par-6) encodes a scaffold protein that forms a complex with the products of baz and aPKC and with other cortical, cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins. It is involved in cell polarization, actin-based protrusion formation and tracheal branching.
   
 0.999
Pak
P21-activated kinase (Pak) encodes a serine/threonine effector kinase for the small GTPases Rac and the product of Cdc42 involved in cytoskeletal regulation. The product of Pak contributes to growth cone guidance, synaptic development, and epithelial morphogenesis in both the ovary and embryo.
   
 0.999
WASp
WASp, isoform A; WASp (WASp) encodes the homolog of the conserved Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family of nucleation promoting factors. It enables the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate polymerization of branched microfilament arrays. It contributes to gastrulation, myoblast fusion, synapse morphology at neuromuscular junctions, sensory organ development, and spermatogenesis.
   
 
 0.998
aPKC
Atypical protein kinase C; Serine/threonine protein kinase which is required for apico- basal cell polarity in the germ line as well as in epithelial and neural precursor cells, for epithelial planar cell polarity and for cell proliferation. During oocyte development, required for the posterior translocation of oocyte specification factors and for the posterior establishment of the microtubule organizing center within the presumptive oocyte. Phosphorylates l(2)gl which restricts l(2)gl activity to the oocyte posterior and regulates posterior enrichment of par-1, leading to establishmen [...]
   
 
 0.998
RhoGDI
RhoGDI, isoform A; Rac GTPase binding; Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: Rho protein signal transduction.
   
 0.993
baz
Bazooka, isoform B; Bazooka (baz) encodes a scaffold protein that forms a complex with the products of par-6 and aPKC and with other cortical, cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins. It functions in cell polarization pathways in epithelial, neuronal and other cell types.
    
 
 0.993
RtGEF
Rho-type guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RtGEF) encodes a putative Rho-type guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the GTPases encoded by Rac1 and Cdc42. It signals through the sterile-20 kinases encoded by Pak and hpo. The product of RtGEF contributes to regulation of postsynaptic structure, post synaptic muscle development, protein localization and the growth of epithelial tissue.
   
 0.993
IRSp53
Insulin receptor substrate 53 kDa (IRSp53) encodes a protein required for filopodia formation during the adhesion and fusion of myoblasts.
   
 0.991
Cip4
Cdc42-interacting protein 4 (Cip4) encodes an F-BAR protein that functions as an adaptor protein regulating membrane curvature and dynamics.
   
 0.984
Pak3
Non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase; Pak3 (Pak3) encodes a Ser/Thr kinase implicated in myoblast fusion, synapse development, wound healing and border cell migration. It functions downstream of the small Rac GTPases to regulate actin cytoskeletal organization.
