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

atg1802Autophagy-related protein 21; Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicles formation and autophagy (By similarity). Has a role in sporulation. (335 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
atg2
Autophagy-related protein 2; Required for cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) vesicles and autophagosomes completion and peroxisome degradation (By similarity). Appears to have a role in sporulation.

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 [...]

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).

atg5
Autophagy protein 5; Involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagic vesicle formation. Autophagy is essential for maintenance of amino acid levels and protein synthesis under nitrogen starvation. Required for selective autophagic degradation of the nucleus (nucleophagy). Also required for mitophagy, which eliminates defective or superfluous mitochondria in order to fulfill cellular energy requirements and prevent excess ROS production. Conjugation with atg12, through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving atg7 as an E1- like activating enzyme and atg10 as an E2- [...]

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 [...]

atg1803
SVP1-like protein 2; Involved in mitochondrial or peroxisomal functions and amino acid signaling pathways; Belongs to the WD repeat SVP1 family.
  
0.757
atg4
Probable cysteine protease atg4; Cysteine protease required for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) and autophagy. 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. Cleaves the C-terminal amino acid of atg8 to reveal a C-terminal glycine. Atg8 ubiquitin-like activity requires the exposure of the glycine at the C- terminus for its conjugation t [...]

atg12
Ubiquitin-like protein ATG12; Ubiquitin-like protein involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), autophagy vesicles formation, mitophagy, and nucleophagy. Conjugation with atg5 through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving also atg7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and atg10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function. The atg12-atg5 conjugate functions as an E3-like enzyme which is required for lipidation of atg8 and atg8 association to the vesicle membranes (By similarity). Plays a role in meiosis and sporulation.

atg13
Autophagy 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 [...]

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).
