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

Mkp3Dual specificity protein phosphatase Mpk3; Negatively regulates the activity of members of the MAP kinase family in response to changes in the cellular environment. Has a specificity for the ERK family. Acts as negative regulator in a variety of developmental processes including cell differentiation and proliferation controlled by the Ras/ERK pathway. Suppresses the photoreceptor cell differentiation and wing vein formation. Required for proper oogenesis and early embryogenesis. Functions autonomously in a subset of photoreceptor progenitor cells in eye imaginal disks. Appears also to [...] (497 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rl
Mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK-A; Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway to regulate poliferation, differentiation and effect cell fate decisions in various tissues. Required downstream of phl/Raf in the sev/sevenless, tor/torso, and EGF receptor homolog Egfr signal transduction pathways. Required for embryonic epithelial tissue repair. During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis.
    
 0.903
p38a
P38a MAP kinase (p38a) encodes a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinases responsive to diverse stresses. In immune response, it activates its downstream component encoded by Atf-2 that in turn regulates Duox expression.
    
 
 0.762
PTP-ER
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-ERK/Enhancer of Ras1 (PTP-ER) encodes a phosphatase required for mitosis. It is involved in RAS/MAPK signaling regulation and eye development.
   
 
 0.745
p38b
P38b MAP kinase (p38b) encodes the serine/threonine kinase that constitutes MAP kinase signaling cascades. It is phosphorylated by MAPK kinases and phosphorylates various substrates that play roles in stress responses, immune responses and differentiation; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
    
 
 0.673
Egfr
Epidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...]
    
 
 0.672
Ras85D
Ras-like protein 1; Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity (By similarity). Plays a role in eye development by regulating cell growth, survival of postmitotic ommatidial cells and differentiation of photoreceptor cells. During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis.
   
 
 0.630
Erk7
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 7; Atypical MAPK protein that regulates protein secretion in a kinase activity-dependent manner. In response to starvation regulates protein secretion by mediating transitional endoplasmic reticulum site disassembly. Mediates inhibition of insulin-like peptide secretion upon disturbed ribosome biogenesis and acts as a downstream effector of TP53.
    
 
 0.583
Duox
Dual oxidase; Plays a role in innate immunity limiting microbial proliferation in the gut. Acts downstream of a hh-signaling pathway to induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to intestinal bacterial infection. May generate antimicrobial oxidative burst through its peroxidase-like domain.
   
 
 0.556
CG17698
Uncharacterized protein, isoform F; Protein serine/threonine kinase activity; calcium ion binding; ATP binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: protein phosphorylation; intracellular signal transduction.
      
 0.526
Raf
Raf homolog serine/threonine-protein kinase Raf; Serine/threonine kinase required in the early embryo for the formation of terminal structure. Also required during the proliferation of imaginal cells. May act downstream of Ras85D in the tor signal transduction pathway. During larval development, mediates Ptth/tor signaling leading to the production of ecdysone, a hormone required for the initiation of metamorphosis. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
