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

Hr4Hormone receptor 4; Coordinates growth and maturation by mediating endocrine responses to the attainment of critical weight during larval development. Plays a central role in the genetic cascades triggered by the steroid hormone ecdysone at the onset of metamorphosis, acting as both a repressor of the early ecdysone-induced regulatory genes and an inducer of the ftz-f1 midprepupal competence factor. Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. (2123 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Hr3
Hormone receptor 3 (Hr3) encodes a protein induced directly by 20-hydroxyecdysone as a delayed-early response. It is required for tracheal air filling and ventral nerve cord condensation in embryos, for developmental progression through early metamorphosis, and in the prothoracic gland for ecdysteroid biosynthesis.
   
0.739
dib
Disembodied (dib) encodes a cytochrome P450 involved in ecdysteroid biosynthesis. It shows a mitochondrial localization and catalyzes the addition of a hydroxyl group to the 22 carbon of the cholesterol side chain. dib mutants fail to undergo head involution, dorsal closure and to secrete cuticle.
    
 
 0.681
ftz-f1
Nuclear hormone receptor FTZ-F1; Acts as a cofactor to fushi tarazu (ftz). Facilitates the binding of ftz to DNA. Binds the sequence element 5'-YCYYGGYCR-3' in the zebra element of ftz. Probably also functions as a receptor for a yet unknown ligand; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR5 subfamily.
    
0.673
shd
Ecdysone 20-monooxygenase; Shade (shd) encodes 20-hydroxylase and is responsible for converting Ecdysone into 20-hydroxyecdysone, the active form of the steroid. It is required in all tissues that produce active Ecdysone and thus contributes to larval moulting, metamorphosis, growth, neuroblast diversity and egg chamber maturation; Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
    
 
 0.652
Cyp6t3
Probable cytochrome P450 6t3; May be involved in the metabolism of insect hormones and in the breakdown of synthetic insecticides.
    
 
 0.641
Hr38
Hormone receptor-like in 38 (Hr38) encodes a protein that can heterodimerize with the U adult cuticle and for the proper uptake and storage of glycogen in larvae; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR4 subfamily.
    
0.636
Hnf4
Transcription factor HNF-4 homolog; Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (Hnf4) encodes a protein that regulates lipid mobilization and fatty acid beta-oxidation during larval stages. Its expression increases greatly at the onset of adulthood when it promotes glucose-stimulated ILP secretion from the insulin-producing cells, maintains glucose homeostasis, and supports mitochondrial function; Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
    
0.623
Hr39
Hormone receptor-like in 39 (Hr39) encodes a nuclear hormone receptor protein in subfamily 5. It is a master regulator of female reproductive gland development from the bipotential genital disc, and in adults is required for reproductive gland secretion, ovulation and additional functions.
   
 
0.623
nvd
Rieske-domain protein Neverland; Neverland (nvd) encodes an evolutionarily conserved oxygenase-like protein that is required for the biosynthesis pathway of ecdysone. It converts cholesterol to 7-dehydrocholesterol.
      
 0.622
EcR
Ecdysone receptor (EcR) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of usp to form the nuclear ecdysone receptor heterodimer, which modulates, in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, the activities of hundreds of genes in a tissue- and stage-specific way. EcR is widely expressed in embryonic and larval tissues and in some adult tissues where its activities (modulated by the hormone ecdysone) trigger both molting and metamorphosis.
