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

AlkAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (Alk) encodes a protein that employs Ras/ERK and PI3K signalling pathways to function in multiple contexts including embryonic visceral muscle development, growth and organ size regulation, retinal axon targeting, modulation of neuromuscular transmission as well as sleep regulation and olfactory learning. Its ligand is the secreted protein encoded by jeb. (1701 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
jeb
Jelly belly (jeb) encodes a secreted, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) repeat containing protein that functions as signalling ligand for the product of Alk. Binding of the ligand to its receptor activates intracellular Ras/ERK and PI3K signalling pathways. The roles of the product of jeb include embryonic visceral muscle development, growth and organ size regulation, retinal axon targeting, modulation of neuromuscular transmission as well as sleep regulation and olfactory learning.

Nf1
Neurofibromin 1 (Nf1) encodes a protein that functions as a GTPase activating protein for the products of Ras85D and Ras64B in the larval and adult nervous system. Loss of Nf1 results in excess Ras-Raf-ERK signaling and to a non-cell-autonomous cAMP/PKA signaling defect. The product of Nf1 contributes to postembryonic growth, learning/memory, and circadian rhythm.

Cbl
Cbl proto-oncogene (Cbl) encodes an E3 protein-ubiquitin ligase for protein post-translational modification in RTK signaling (EGFR, VEGFR, FGF, and RET families) and non-RTK signaling (Src family). After the ubiquitination mediated by the product of Cbl, the substrates will be targeted to protein degradation for controlling cell growth, survival, migration and inflammation.

Shc
SHC-adaptor protein (Shc) encodes a protein involved in receptor tyrosine kinase signalling. It regulates anti-parasitoid immune response and tracheal development.
    
 
 0.750
sl
1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase gamma; Small wing (sl) encodes a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholiase type C that is required as a general modulator for growth downstream of the insulin pathway, and interacts with the Ras-MAPK pathway.

miple1
Midkine and pleiotrophin 1 (miple1) encodes a small secreted protein that binds Heparin and is closely related at the amino acid sequence to the product of miple2. It is mainly expressed in the developing CNS.
   
  
 0.678
Med
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog; Medea (Med) encodes a protein that belongs to the highly conserved Smad family. It can bind its siblings encoded by Mad or Smox to facilitate signal transduction for the product of dpp or Activin ligands in the TGF-beta family. Med-complexes function as transcriptional regulators. Many developmental roles include dorsal-ventral patterning, patterning and proliferation of the wing disc and gene expression in the mushroom body of the larval brain.

miple2
Midkine and pleiotrophin 2 (miple2) encodes a small secreted protein that binds Heparin and is closely related at the amino acid sequence to the product of miple1. It is strongly expressed in the developing endoderm.

chico
Insulin receptor substrate 1; Activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase when bound to the regulatory p85 subunit (By similarity). May mediate the control of various cellular processes by insulin-like peptides. When phosphorylated by the insulin receptor binds specifically to various cellular proteins containing SH2 domains. Involved in control of cell proliferation, cell size, and body and organ growth throughout development. Also has a role in a signaling pathway controlling the physiological response required to endure periods of low nutrient conditions. Insulin/insulin-like growth fac [...]

Ret
Ret oncogene (Ret) encodes a cell surface receptor mediating dendrite development of class IV dendritic arborization sensory neurons. It interacts with integrins and mediates rac1 signaling to promote dendrite adhesion to the extracellular matrix; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family.
