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.

BFSP1Beaded filament structural protein 1; Belongs to the intermediate filament family. (662 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CRYAA
Alpha-crystallin A chain; 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. Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA.
   
  
 0.913
CRYBA1
Crystallin beta A1; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
   
  
 0.908
CRYGS
Gamma-crystallin S; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
      
 0.903
CRYBA4
Beta-crystallin A4; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
      
 0.897
CRYBA2
Crystallin beta A2; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
      
 0.890
MIP
Lens fiber major intrinsic protein; Water channel. Channel activity is down-regulated by CALM when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels are increased. May be responsible for regulating the osmolarity of the lens. Interactions between homotetramers from adjoining membranes may stabilize cell junctions in the eye lens core. Plays a role in cell-to-cell adhesion and facilitates gap junction coupling (By similarity). Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
      
 0.871
CRYBB1
Crystallin beta B1; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
      
 0.862
GJA8
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
      
 0.856
GJA3
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
      
 0.799
CRYBB3
Crystallin beta B3; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
      
 0.758
