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

ATG20Autophagy-related protein 20; Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), pexophagy and mitophagy. Also involved in endoplasmic reticulum-specific autophagic process and is essential for the survival of cells subjected to severe ER stress. Functions in protein retrieval from the endocytic pathway (By similarity). (636 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SNX4
Sorting nexin-4; Sorting nexin, involved in the separation or division of vacuoles throughout the entire life cycle of the cells. Involved in retrieval of late-Golgi SNAREs from post-Golgi endosomes to the trans- Golgi network, for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), mitophagy, and pexophagy (By similarity).

ATG17
Autophagy-related protein 17; Autophagy-specific protein that functions in response to autophagy-inducing signals as a scaffold to recruit other ATG proteins to organize pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) formation. Modulates the timing and magnitude of the autophagy response, such as the size of the sequestering vesicles. Plays particularly a role in pexophagy and nucleophagy (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG17 family.

ATG1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATG1; Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and found to be essential in autophagy, where it is required for the formation of autophagosomes. Involved in the clearance of protein aggregates which cannot be efficiently cleared by the proteasome. Required for selective autophagic degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing [...]

ATG13
Autophagy-related protein 13; Activates the ATG1 kinase in a nutritional condition dependent manner through the TOR pathway, leading to autophagy. Also involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and more specifically in Cvt vesicle formation. Seems to play a role in the switching machinery regulating the conversion between the Cvt pathway and autophagy. Finally, ATG13 is also required for glycogen storage during stationary phase (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG13 family. Fungi subfamily.

VAC8
Vacuolar protein 8; Functions in both vacuole inheritance and protein targeting from the cytoplasm to vacuole; Belongs to the beta-catenin family.
      
 0.723
ATG9
Autophagy-related protein 9; Involved in autophagy and cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation. Plays a key role in the organization of the preautophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS), the nucleating site for formation of the sequestering vesicle. Required for mitophagy. Cycles between the PAS and the cytoplasmic vesicle pool and may participate in supplying membrane for the growing autophagosome. Also involved in endoplasmic reticulum-specific autophagic process and is essential for the survival of cells subjected to severe ER stress. Different machinerie [...]

ATG27
Autophagy-related protein 27; Effector of VPS34 phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate kinase signaling. Regulates the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation. Plays a role in ATG protein retrieval from the pre- autophagosomal structure (PAS) and is especially required for autophagy-dependent cycling of ATG9 (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG27 family.
   
 0.704
ATG23
Autophagy-related protein 23; Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicle formation and efficient autophagy. Plays a role in ATG protein retrieval from the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS) and is especially required for autophagy-dependent cycling of ATG9. Plays also a role in regulation of filamentous growth (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG23 family.

ATG8
Autophagy-related protein 8; Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in autophagosomes formation. With ATG4, mediates the delivery of the autophagosomes to the vacuole via the microtubule cytoskeleton. Required for selective autophagic degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy) as well as for mitophagy which contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Participates also in membrane fusion events that take place in the early secretory pathway. Also involved [...]

ATG21
Autophagy-related protein 21; Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicles formation and mitophagy. Involved in binding of phosphatidylethanolamine to ATG8 and in recruitment of ATG8 and ATG5 to the pre-autophagosomal structure. Protects ATG8 from ARG4-mediated cleavage (By similarity); Belongs to the WD repeat SVP1 family.
