Interaction networks of the SC proteins. (A) Functional protein association networks of the SC proteins were obtained from the STRING database (https://string-db.org). Presented are known interactions, which were sourced from curated databases or were experimentally determined. (B) SC protein interaction networks mapped in the human reference interactome database (www.interactome-atlas.org). Proteins not expressed in the testis or ovary were removed. Proteins confirmed or predicted to be required for meiosis or gametogenesis are indicated by red boxes. Interaction networks were visualized by Cytoscape.
