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

Score
alpha-CatrAlpha-catenin related, isoform C; Actin filament binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: cell adhesion; Rho protein signal transduction. (810 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rhea
Rhea, isoform B; Rhea (rhea) encodes fly talin, a large adaptor protein that is essential for all adhesive functions of integrins. It also has at least one role independent of integrins: repressing shg transcription in follicle cells.

dah
Discontinuous actin hexagon (dah) encodes a protein required for cortical furrows during early embryogenesis that is recruited to the membrane in a process dependent on the product of nuf.
   
 
 0.682
Dyb
Dystrobrevin, isoform F; Zinc ion binding; structural constituent of muscle. It is involved in the biological process described with: synaptic signaling.
    
 
 0.656
Dys
Dystrophin, isoforms A/C/F/G/H; Required for the maintenance of appropriate synaptic retrograde communication and the stabilization of muscle cell architecture or physiology. Both det and Dg are required for maintenance of early dpp signaling in the presumptive crossvein. Isoform A is not required to maintain muscle integrity, but plays a role in neuromuscular homeostasis by regulating neurotransmitter release. May play a role in anchoring the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane.
   
 
 0.651
Vinc
Vinculin (Vinc) encodes a key mechanoeffector of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. It binds to the products of rhea and alpha-Cat, when they are stretched by force, and links them to actin. Vinc mutant flies are viable and fertile although mild defects have been documented in muscle attachment and heart function; Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
      
 0.635
jub
LIM domain-containing protein jub; Regulates organ size by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation by influencing the expression of G1/S-specific cyclin-E (CycE) and apoptosis 1 inhibitor (th). Negatively regulates the Hippo signaling pathway; Belongs to the zyxin/ajuba family.
   
 
 0.611
kug
Fat-like cadherin-related tumor suppressor homolog; Required for the planar polarity of actin filament orientation at the basal side of ovarian follicle cells. Required for proper egg chamber shape and elongation of the egg chamber during oogenesis. Required for the correct planar polarization of Rab10 within the basal follicle cell epithelium and is therefore indirectly involved in the Rab10-dependent remodeling of the basal membrane during egg chamber elongation.
      
 0.523
Inx3
Innexin 3 (Inx3) encodes a gap junction protein that can form heteromeric gap junction channels via interaction with the product of Inx2. Loss of Inx3 leads to the destabilization of the products of ogre, Inx2 and shg at the plasma membrane, suggesting that these four proteins form a complex.

shg
DE-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. In connecting cells they preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. During oogenesis, integral component of the guidance mechanisms that regulate the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Functions downstream of the two chemoattractant receptors, Pvr and Egfr, to promote BC adhesion between the leader cells of the migrating cluster and the surroundi [...]

slo
Calcium-activated potassium channel slowpoke; Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+). Its activation dampens the excitatory events that elevate the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and/or depolarize the cell membrane. It therefore contributes to repolarization of the membrane potential. Kinetics are determined by alternative splicing, phosphorylation status and its combination interaction with Slob and 14-3-3-zeta. While the interaction with Slob1 alone increases its activity, its interaction with both Slob [...]
