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

CRYGBGamma-crystallin B; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. (175 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CRYAA
Alpha-crystallin A2(1-162); Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
   
  
 0.811
TRNT1
CCA tRNA nucleotidyltransferase 1, mitochondrial; [Isoform 1]: Adds and repairs the conserved 3'-CCA sequence necessary for the attachment of amino acids to the 3' terminus of tRNA molecules, using CTP and ATP as substrates.
      
 0.762
CRYGC
Gamma-crystallin C; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
  
 
0.696
LIM2
Lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein; Present in the thicker 16-17 nm junctions of mammalian lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. Acts as a receptor for calmodulin. May play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis; Belongs to the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family.
  
  
 0.677
CRYAB
Alpha-crystallin B chain; May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions.
   
  
 0.667
GJA3
Gap junction alpha-3 protein; Structural component of lens fiber gap junctions. Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells (By similarity). They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane. Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore ; Belongs to the connexin family. Alpha-type (group II) subfamily.
   
  
 0.650
GJA8
Gap junction alpha-8 protein; Structural component of eye lens gap junctions. Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (By similarity). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore.
   
  
 0.641
BFSP1
Filensin C-terminal fragment; Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA. Involved in altering the calcium regulation of MIP water permeability.
   
  
 0.610
ASL
Argininosuccinate lyase.
      
 0.595
BFSP2
Phakinin; Required for the correct formation and organization of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA.
