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

cnnCentrosomin (cnn) encodes an essential mitotic centrosome component. During early embryogenesis it is required to organize the mitotic spindle, the actin cytoskeleton and centriole replication. It is also required for mitotic and meiotic divisions during spermatogenesis, as well as organization of the sperm axoneme. The product of cnn can interact with microtubules, actin and the kinase encoded by polo. (1378 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Plp
Pericentrin-like protein, isoform F; Pericentrin-like protein (Plp) encodes a protein localized to centrioles and centrosomes that plays an important role together with the product of cnn in organizing the pericentriolar material of the centrosome during interphase. It is also required for proper cilium function.
   
 
 0.995
spd-2
Spindle defective 2 (spd-2) encodes a centriole and centrosome protein that is primarily involved in centrosome assembly. Together with the product of cnn, it helps to assemble a "scaffold" around the mother centriole that can recruit other centrosomal proteins to the centrosome during mitosis.
    
 
 0.991
Sas-4
Spindle assembly abnormal 4 (Sas-4) encodes a centriole protein that is essential for centriole assembly. It is recruited to centrioles through an interaction with the centriole protein encoded by ana2, and it helps recruit microtubules to the centriole.
   
 
 0.991
asl
Asterless (asl) encodes a component of the centriole that is required for centrosome function. It contributes to asymmetric cell division, sperm development and centriole replication and elongation.
    
 
 0.989
tacc
Transforming acidic coiled-coil protein (tacc) encodes a centrosomal protein that helps to stabilize microtubules. It seems to influence microtubules indirectly, primarily through its interaction with the product of msps. It is also phosphorylated by the product of aurA, and this activates its ability to stabilize microtubules.
   
 
 0.945
aurA
Aurora A (aurA) encodes a protein kinase required for proper neuroblast self-renewal by regulating assymmetric protein localization. It contributes to spindle orientation, centrosome separation and pole cell formation.
   
 
 0.925
Cep135
Centrosomal protein 135kDa (Cep135) encodes a microtubule binding protein important for centriole elongation and stability. It promotes centrosome asymmetry and spindle orientation in neuroblasts and it is required for male fertility.
    
 
 0.922
Sas-6
Spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 homolog; Central scaffolding component of the centrioles ensuring their 9-fold symmetry. Required for centrosome biogenesis and duplication. In ciliated neurons, required for centriole assembly but not necessary for cilium basal body and cilia function. Required for sperm cilium basal body elongation together with Cep135 and Ana2.
    
 
 0.883
gammaTub23C
Tubulin gamma-1 chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle poles or the centrosome, suggesting that it is involved in the minus-end nucleation of microtubule assembly.
   
 
 0.881
Cp190
Centrosome-associated zinc finger protein CP190; Component of the gypsy chromatin insulator complex which is required for the function of the gypsy chromatin insulator and other endogenous chromatin insulators. Chromatin insulators are regulatory elements which establish independent domains of transcriptional activity within eukaryotic genomes. Insulators have two defining properties; they can block the communication between an enhancer and a promoter when placed between them and can also buffer transgenes from position effect variegation (PEV). Insulators are proposed to structure the [...]
