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

SKSmall conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein; Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel activated by intracellular calcium. Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization. Thought to regulate neuronal excitability by contributing to the slow component of synaptic afterhyperpolarization. The channel is blocked by apamin (By similarity). (1174 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ets96B
ETV5-related protein Ets96B; Required in dopaminergic neurons to regulate expression of genes involved in dopamine signaling. Decreases expression of the dopamine transporter DAT and increases expression of the dopamine transporter Vmat and the tyrosine 3-monooxygenase ple which is involved in dopamine biosynthesis. Also involved in negatively regulating the expression of a group of endoplasmic reticulum proteins, the molecular chaperone Calr and the protein disulfide isomerases CaBP1 and ERp60.

Sh
Potassium voltage-gated channel protein Shaker; Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. Forms rapidly inactivating tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient and may contribute to A- type currents. Plays a role in the regulation of sleep need or efficiency ; Belongs to the potassium channel family. A (Shaker) (TC 1.A.1.2) s [...]

Skp2
S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) encodes the substrate recognizing component of the SCF-Skp2 ubiquitin ligase. It functions with the product of Cks85A to target the product of dap for destruction. It is required for larval growth and to maintain diploidy in imaginal tissues.

kto
Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 12; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Required for leg and ey [...]

zfh2
Zn finger homeodomain 2 (zfh2) encodes a putative transcription factor. Its roles include specification of cell fates and promotion of apoptosis during CNS development, and proximal-distal patterning during wing and leg imaginal disc development.

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 [...]

trr
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase trr; Histone methyltransferase that acts as a coactivator for the ecdysone receptor during development. Specifically trimethylates 'Lys- 4' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Recruited by EcR in an ecdysone-dependent manner causing H3 'Lys-4' trimethylation at ecdysone-inducible promoters, leading to activate expression. Plays a central role in the developing compound eye, during the progression of the morphogenetic furrow and in post- furrow differentiation of the retinal epithelium, notably by activating express [...]

Lpt
Lost PHDs of trr (Lpt) encodes a core component of COMPASS-like nuclear receptor coactivator complexes. It is involved in histone methylation and dpp/BMP signaling regulation.

CG9393
Metaxin-1 homolog; Involved in transport of proteins into the mitochondrion. Essential for embryonic development (By similarity); Belongs to the metaxin family.
