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

vermVermiform, isoform I; Vermiform (verm) encodes a chitin deacetylase-like protein that is secreted by tracheal cells and accumulates in the embryonic tracheal lumen. Its functions include cuticle development and tracheal tube size control. (555 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Gasp
Gasp, isoform A; Gasp (Gasp) encodes a protein involved in cuticle biosynthesis during embryonic tracheal system development.
  
  
 0.975
obst-A
Obstructor-A, isoform A; obstructor-A (obst-A) encodes a protein that forms a core complex with chitin and the chitin modifying proteins encoded by serp and knk. This complex is required for assembly, maturation and preservation of the chitinous cuticles at the end of embryogenesis and probably throughout larval development.
  
  
 0.942
serp
Serpentine, isoform B; Serpentine (serp) encodes a putative chitin deacetylase. It is expressed by the epidermal and tracheal cells and is secreted into the apical extracellular space. Its activity maintains the strength of cuticles and restricts tracheal tube length.
  
 
0.926
knk
Knickkopf (knk) encodes a GPI-anchorded protein, needed for chitin organisation in the cuticle and the tracheal system (tracheal cuticle, tube diameter regulation & gas filling).
   
  
 0.885
uif
Uninflatable, isoform C; Uninflatable (uif) encodes a single pass transmembrane protein that localizes to the apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells. It is required for embryonic tracheal maturation and tracheal growth in the larva.
  
  
 0.854
Cda4
Chitin deacetylase-like 4; Chitin binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: chitin metabolic process; carbohydrate metabolic process.
  
  
0.831
obst-B
BcDNA.GH02976; Chitin binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: chitin metabolic process.
  
  
 0.761
kkv
Krotzkopf verkehrt (kkv) encodes a membrane-inserted glycosyltransferase family 2 chitin synthase that uses GlcNAc to produce the polysaccharide chitin, which is extruded to the differentiating cuticle and tracheal system (tracheal cuticle, tube diameter regulation and gas filling).
   
  
 0.733
Cht7
Chitinase 7 (Cht7) encodes an enzyme involved in cuticle development, ecdysis and wound healing; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family.
   
  
 0.704
obst-E
Protein obstructor-E; Chitin-binding protein that is important for the longitudinal contraction and lateral expansion of the larval cuticle during its conversion into the oval-shaped puparium case. Essential for survival to the second instar larval stage. Confers the orientated contractility and expandability of the larval cuticle by regulating the arrangement of chitin and the formation of supracellular ridges on the cuticle of third instar larvae. Essential for determining pupal body shape; required for the orientated shape change of the cuticle during metamorphosis which involves ch [...]
