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

SCARSCAR, isoform D; SCAR (SCAR) encodes a primary regulator of the Arp2/3 complex, which promotes actin polymerization and influences cell shape and motility. It is involved in myoblast fusion, eye morphogenesis and axogenesis. (674 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Abi
Abelson interacting protein (Abi) encodes a protein that interacts with the non-receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by Abl. It contributes to the regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. It is involved in multiple actin dependent processes including cell adhesion, cell morphogenesis, oogenesis, muscle attachment and axogenesis.

HSPC300
Haematopoietic stem/progenitor cell protein 300 (HSPC300) encodes a subunit of the Scar/WAVE complex, which activates the Arp2/3 complex at the plasma membrane to generate membrane protrusions that drive cell migration.
    
 0.999
Cyfip
Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein; Specifically Rac1-associated protein 1 (Sra-1) encodes an essential protein that is a component of the WAVE actin nucleator complex. It controls actin cytoskeleton remodeling and interacts with the products of Fmr1 and Rac1. It controls morphogenesis and synapse organization.
   
 0.998
Hem
HEM-protein (Hem) encodes a component of the WAVE Regulatory Complex. Hem product regulates processes such as neuronal migration and asymmetric division of neural precursors by inhibiting the product of SCAR degradation. In the asymmetric process, the Hem-pathway indirectly maintains proper localization of proteins such as those encoded by insc and numb; Belongs to the HEM-1/HEM-2 family.
   
 0.997
IRSp53
Insulin receptor substrate 53 kDa (IRSp53) encodes a protein required for filopodia formation during the adhesion and fusion of myoblasts.
    
 0.814
gukh
GUK-holder, isoform A; GUK-holder (gukh) encodes a protein that regulates spindle orientation in neuroblasts via direct interaction with microtubules and the tumor suppressors encoded by dlg1 and scrib. It also plays a role in polarizing fate determinants, such as the product of mira.

wash
WASH complex subunit 1; Acts as a nucleation-promoting factor by activating the Arp2/3 complex to induce actin polymerization. Participates in both linear- and branched-actin networks. Functions in linear-filament (bundled F-actin) by acting downstream of Rho1 and regulating actin and microtubule organization during oogenesis. Nucleates actin in an Arp2/3-dependent manner and exhibits F-actin and microtubule bundling and cross-linking activity in the egg chamber. During embryogenesis, acts downstream of Rho1 to activate the Arp2/3 complex which is necessary for the developmental migrat [...]

Arp2
Actin-related protein 2; Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament (By similarity).
   
 0.775
Rac1
Ras-related protein Rac1; During various developmental processes, regulates changes in cell morphology in response to extracellular signals. During oogenesis, mediates signaling from the tyrosine kinase (RTK) chemoattractant receptors (Egfr and Pvr) to the guidance pathway that control the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Once activating by Pvr and Egfr, promotes the formation of forward-directed actin protrusions which stabilize the DE- cadherin (shg)-mediated adhesions. In turn, DE-mediated adhesion bet [...]

Cip4
Cdc42-interacting protein 4 (Cip4) encodes an F-BAR protein that functions as an adaptor protein regulating membrane curvature and dynamics.
