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

SPAG17Sperm-associated antigen 17; Component of the central pair apparatus of ciliary axonemes. Plays a critical role in the function and structure of motile cilia. May play a role in endochondral bone formation, most likely because of a function in primary cilia of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. (2223 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SPAG6
Sperm-associated antigen 6; Important for structural integrity of the central apparatus in the sperm tail and for flagellar motility.
   
 
 0.925
LRGUK
Leucine-rich repeat and guanylate kinase domain-containing protein; Involved in multiple aspects of sperm assembly including acrosome attachment, shaping of the sperm head and in the early aspects of axoneme development. Not essential for primary cilium biogenesis.
   
 
 0.900
CFAP221
Cilia- and flagella-associated protein 221; May play a role in cilium morphogenesis.
   
 
 0.807
DNAI1
Dynein intermediate chain 1, axonemal; Part of the dynein complex of respiratory cilia; Belongs to the dynein intermediate chain family.
   
  
 0.724
SPEF2
Sperm flagellar protein 2; Required for correct axoneme development in spermatozoa. Important for normal development of the manchette and sperm head morphology. Essential for male fertility. Plays a role in localization of the intraflagellar transport protein IFT20 to the manchette, suggesting function as an adapter for dynein-mediated protein transport during spermatogenesis. Also plays a role in bone growth where it seems to be required for normal osteoblast differentiation.
   
 
 0.714
CCDC189
Coiled-coil domain containing 189.
   
 
 0.697
DPY30
Protein dpy-30 homolog; As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, involved in the methylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4', particularly trimethylation. Histone H3 'Lys- 4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. May play some role in histone H3 acetylation. In a teratocarcinoma cell, plays a crucial role in retinoic acid-induced differentiation along the neural lineage, regulating gene induction and H3 'Lys-4' methylation at key developmental loci. May also play an indirect or direct role in endosomal transport. Belongs to the dpy-30 family.
    
 
 0.693
SPAG16
Sperm-associated antigen 16 protein; Necessary for sperm flagellar function. Plays a role in motile ciliogenesis. May help to recruit STK36 to the cilium or apical surface of the cell to initiate subsequent steps of construction of the central pair apparatus of motile cilia (By similarity).
   
  
 0.675
EFCAB6
EF-hand calcium-binding domain-containing protein 6; Negatively regulates the androgen receptor by recruiting histone deacetylase complex, and protein DJ-1 antagonizes this inhibition by abrogation of this complex.
   
 
 0.674
KIAA1257
Uncharacterized protein KIAA1257.
   
 
 0.670
