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.

ULBP2UL16-binding protein 2; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity. (246 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KLRK1
NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein; Functions as an activating and costimulatory receptor involved in immunosurveillance upon binding to various cellular stress- inducible ligands displayed at the surface of autologous tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Provides both stimulatory and costimulatory innate immune responses on activated killer (NK) cells, leading to cytotoxic activity. Acts as a costimulatory receptor for T-cell receptor (TCR) in CD8(+) T-cell-mediated adaptive immune responses by amplifying T-cell activation. Stimulates perforin-mediated elimination of ligand-exp [...]

RAET1L
UL16-binding protein 6; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity; Belongs to the MHC class I family.
  
 
0.987
MICB
MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B; Seems to have no role in antigen presentation. Acts as a stress-induced self-antigen that is recognized by gamma delta T cells. Ligand for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor. Binding to KLRK1 leads to cell lysis; Belongs to the MHC class I family. MIC subfamily.
  
  
 0.965
RAET1G
UL-16 binding protein 5; [Isoform 1]: Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity. [Isoform 2]: Stimulates natural killer cells to secrete IFNG. Belongs to the MHC class I family.
  
  
0.936
ULBP3
UL16-binding protein 3; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity; Belongs to the MHC class I family.
  
 
0.918
ULBP1
UL16-binding protein 1; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
  
 
0.911
HCST
Hematopoietic cell signal transducer; Transmembrane adapter protein which associates with KLRK1 to form an activation receptor KLRK1-HCST in lymphoid and myeloid cells; this receptor plays a major role in triggering cytotoxicity against target cells expressing cell surface ligands such as MHC class I chain- related MICA and MICB, and UL16-binding proteins (ULBPs); these ligands are up-regulated by stress conditions and pathological state such as viral infection and tumor transformation. Functions as docking site for PI3-kinase PIK3R1 and GRB2. Interaction of ULBPs with KLRK1-HCST trigg [...]

LILRB1
Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 1; Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles. Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of FCER1A signaling and serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylatio [...]

MICA
MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A; Seems to have no role in antigen presentation. Acts as a stress-induced self-antigen that is recognized by gamma delta T-cells. Ligand for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor. Binding to KLRK1 leads to cell lysis. Belongs to the MHC class I family. MIC subfamily.
  
  
 0.715
CD226
CD226 antigen; Involved in intercellular adhesion, lymphocyte signaling, cytotoxicity and lymphokine secretion mediated by cytotoxic T- lymphocyte (CTL) and NK cell. Cell surface receptor for NECTIN2. Upon ligand binding, stimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, including that of IL2, IL5, IL10, IL13, and IFNG. Competes with PVRIG for NECTIN2-binding.
