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

atg13Autophagy 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. Autophagy functions to supply nitrogen and is activated when cells cannot access exogenous nitrogen, thus ensuring that they can adapt and subsequently propagate. Finally, atg13 is also required for glycogen storage during stationary phas [...] (758 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
atg101
Meiotically up-regulated gene 66 protein; Autophagy factor required for autophagosome formation (By similarity). Has a role in meiosis and sporulation; Belongs to the ATG101 family.
   
 0.999
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 preautophagosomal 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).
   
 0.999
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 [...]
   
 0.999
atg11
Taz1-interacting factor 1; Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), pexophagy, mitophagy and nucleophagy. Recruits mitochondria for their selective degradation via autophagy (mitophagy) during starvation. Works as scaffold proteins that recruit ATG proteins to the preautophagosome (PAS), the site of vesicle/autophagosome formation. Required for atg9 anterograde transport from the mitochondria to the PAS (By similarity). Required for nitrogen starvation-induced sexual development and for entering the dormant G0 state (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG11 family.
    
 0.983
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 [...]
   
 0.983
atg15
Putative lipase atg15; Lipase which is essential for lysis of subvacuolar cytoplasm to vacuole targeted bodies and intravacuolar autophagic bodies. Involved in the lysis of intravacuolar multivesicular body (MVB) vesicles. The intravacuolar membrane disintegration by atg15 is critical to life span extension (By similarity).
   
 
 0.973
vac8
Vacuolar protein 8; Functions in both vacuole inheritance and protein targeting from the cytoplasm to vacuole; Belongs to the beta-catenin family.

tor2
Serine/threonine-protein kinase tor2; Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase homolog, component of TORC1, which regulates multiple cellular processes to control cell growth in response to environmental signals. TORC1 controls the switch between cell proliferation and differentiation by sensing nutrient availability. Nutrient limitation and environmental stress signals cause inactivation of TORC1. Active TORC1 positively controls cell growth and ribosome biogenesis by regulating ribosomal protein gene expression. In nutrient rich conditions, responsible for the phosphorylation of AGC S6 kinase ( [...]

tor1
Serine/threonine-protein kinase tor1; Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase homolog, component of TORC2, which regulates multiple cellular processes to control cell growth in response to environmental signals. TORC2 is required for cell survival under various stress conditions. TORC2 positively controls G1 cell- cycle arrest, sexual development and amino acid uptake. Positively regulates amino acid uptake through the control of expression of amino acid permeases. Responsible for the phosphorylation of AGC kinase gad8 at 'Ser-527' and 'Ser-546', activating gad8 kinase activity and promoting sex [...]

mip1
Target of rapamycin complex 1 subunit mip1; Component of TORC1, which regulates multiple cellular processes to control cell growth in response to environmental signals. Tor2 is essential for growth. Nutrient limitation and environmental stress signals cause inactivation of TORC1. Active TORC1 positively controls cell growth and ribosome biogenesis by regulating ribosomal protein gene expression. TORC1 negatively controls G1 cell-cycle arrest, sexual development and amino acid uptake. Represses mating, meiosis and sporulation efficiency by interfering with the functions of the transcrip [...]
