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

rhoProtein rhomboid; Acts early in embryonic development to establish position along the dorsoventral axis and then again later to specify the fate of neuronal precursor cells. Involved in EGF receptor signaling; cleaves Spitz to release the active growth factor. Belongs to the peptidase S54 family. (355 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
spi
Protein spitz; Ligand for the EGF receptor (Gurken). Involved in a number of unrelated developmental choices, for example, dorsal-ventral axis formation, glial migration, sensory organ determination, and muscle development. It is required for photoreceptor determination.
   
 
 0.976
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 [...]

grk
Protein gurken; Critical for defining the anterior-posterior and dorsal- ventral axes of the egg. May signal directly to dorsal follicle cells through the receptor torpedo (top). During oogenesis this signaling pathway instructs follicle cells to follow a dorsal pathway of development rather than the default ventral pathway.
   
 
 0.941
rho-7
Rhomboid-7, isoform A; Rhomboid-7 (rho-7) encodes an intramembrane serine protease of the rhomboid family present in the inner membrane of mitochondria. It regulates mitochondrial fusion during spermatogenesis and muscle development. rho-7 genetically interacts with fog, Opa1 and Pink1.
      
 0.928
aos
Protein giant-lens; Regulates cell determination; development of ommatidia and optic lobe. Is a signaling molecule involved in the process of axon pathfinding in the eye. Part of the Ras pathway regulating programmed cell death in pupal eyes; activated by lozenge (lz). Antagonist for the Egfr receptor (gurken). Inhibits Egfr signaling without interacting directly with the receptor, but instead by sequestering the Egfr- activating ligand spitz (spi).
   
 
 0.903
S
Star (S) encodes a type II transmembrane protein that facilitates trafficking of transmembrane Egfr ligands from the endoplasmic reticulum to the late secretory compartment. It is involved in growth regulation, cell survival and developmental patterning.
    
 
 0.873
S2P
Metalloendopeptidase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress; sterol regulatory element binding protein cleavage; membrane protein intracellular domain proteolysis; positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity.
  
  
 0.862
Krn
LD34429p; Keren (Krn) encodes an ligand for the receptor encoded by Egfr that is processed by the products of S and rho. It shows a redundant role with the products of spi in very few tissues.
    
 
 0.818
Pink1
PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (Pink1) is the ortholog of human PINK1, a gene mutated in autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease. Pink1 encodes a mitochondrially targeted Ser-Thr kinase. It has been linked to a number of cellular functions including altering mitochondrial dynamics, the autophagic degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria, and the proper function of Complex I of the electron transport chain.

dpp
Protein decapentaplegic; Required during oogenesis for eggshell patterning and dorsal/ventral patterning of the embryo. Acts as a morphogen during embryogenesis to pattern the dorsal/ventral axis, specifying dorsal ectoderm and amnioserosa cell fate within the dorsal half of the embryo; this activity is antagonized by binding to sog and tsg. Induces the formation of visceral mesoderm and the heart in early embryos. Required later in embryogenesis for dorsal closure and patterning of the hindgut. Also functions postembryonically as a long-range morphogen during imaginal disk development [...]
