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

OambOctopamine receptor Oamb; Receptor for octopamine (OA) which is a neurotransmitter, neurohormone and neuromodulator in invertebrates. Stimulates intracellular accumulation of cAMP and Ca(2+) following ligand binding. Required for ovulation. Following activation on mature follicle cells by OA, induces activity of the metalloprotease Mmp2 which leads to breakdown of the posterior follicle wall, resulting in ovulation. Ligand binding probably also leads to activation of CamKII which is also required for ovulation. Modulates sleep/wake behavior by acting in neurons of the pars intercerebra [...] (751 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Tbh
Tyramine beta-hydroxylase; Converts tyramine into octopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in ovulation and locomotion. Functions in an amine-mediated Bacc-dependent signaling pathway that negatively regulates acute ethanol sensitivity. Belongs to the copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family.
   
  
 0.860
Tdc2
Tyrosine decarboxylase activity; carboxy-lyase activity; pyridoxal phosphate binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: oviposition; locomotor rhythm; behavioral response to cocaine; cellular amino acid metabolic process; locomotory behavior.
   
  
 0.857
Galphas
G protein alpha s subunit (Galphas) encodes an alpha subunit of the class of heterotrimeric G proteins, found on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. An inactive GDP-bound form forms a heterotrimer with beta and gamma subunits. On activation by a 7-TM receptor, the product of Galphas exchanges GDP for GTP, dissociates from the trimer, and activates adenylyl cyclase, thus initiating cAMP signaling. Galphas roles include neurophysiology, and behaviors including learning; Belongs to the G-alpha family. G(s) subfamily.
    
 
 0.843
sNPF
Short neuropeptide F precursor (sNPF) encodes a protein that binds to the product of sNPF-R and activates ERK-Dilps signaling or the PKA-CREB pathway. Its roles include the regulation of cell and organism growth, carbohydrate metabolism, lifespan, feeding behavior, locomotion, circadian rhythm, and sleep.
   
  
 0.616
Mmp2
Matrix metalloproteinase-2; Has metalloproteinase activity. Required for larval tissue histolysis during metamorphosis and is involved in pupal head eversion and fusion of the wing imaginal tissue. Required for growth of the dorsal air sac primordium and development of the dorsal air sacs. Promotes embryonic motor axon fasciculation. Cleaves and activates frac to promote motor axon bundling during outgrowth. Promotes the reshaping of adult sensory neuron dendrites from a radial to lattice-like shape which occurs after eclosion by degrading the basement membrane on which the dendrites g [...]

Gbeta5
RH17413p; GTPase activator activity; G-protein gamma-subunit binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; dopamine receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of GTPase activity.
    
 
 0.568
CG8916
IP12579p; Extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity; GABA-A receptor activity; chloride channel activity; neurotransmitter receptor activity; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
 
 0.566
Gbeta13F
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit beta-1; G protein beta-subunit 13F (Gbeta13F) encodes an ubiquitous, maternal product required for gastrulation movements of early embryo and regulating medial (mesoderm and ectoderm) and junctional Myosin II (ectoderm) via RhoI pathway. The product of Gbeta13F is detected apically and at adherens junctions.
    
 
 0.558
Trh
Tryptophan hydroxylase (Trh) encodes an enzyme that functions as the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin.
   
  
 0.548
Vmat
Vesicular monoamine transporter (Vmat) encodes a protein responsible for packaging the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and octopamine into secretory vesicles.
