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

atg10Ubiquitin-like-conjugating enzyme ATG10; E2-like enzyme involved in autophagy. Acts as an E2-like enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of atg12 to atg5. atg12 conjugation to atg5 is required for autophagy. Likely serves as an atg5-recognition molecule (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG10 family. (230 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
atg12
Ubiquitin-like protein atg12; Ubiquitin-like protein involved in autophagy vesicles formation. Required for atg8 association to the vesicle membranes. Conjugated to atg5 through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving also atg7 as an E1-like activating enzyme is essential for its function (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG12 family.
    
 0.996
atg7
Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme atg7; E1-like activating enzyme involved in the 2 ubiquitin-like systems required for autophagy. Activates atg12 for its conjugation with atg5 and atg8 for its conjugation with phosphatidylethanolamine. Both systems are needed for the atg8 association to autophagosomes membranes (By similarity). Required for normal survival when exposed to pathogenic bacteria S.typhimurium by promoting autophagic degradation of intracellular S.typhimurium.
   
 
 0.966
atg5
Autophagy protein 5; Involved in autophagic vesicle formation. Conjugation with atg12, through a ubiquitin-like conjugating system involving atg7 as an E1-like activating enzyme and atg10 as an E2-like conjugating enzyme, is essential for its function. The atg12-atg5 conjugate acts as an E3- like enzyme which is required for lipidation of atg8 and its association to the vesicle membranes (By similarity).
    
 
 0.936
vps15
Probable serine/threonine-protein kinase vps15; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
      
 0.904
atg8
Autophagy-related protein 8; Ubiquitin-like modifier involved in autophagosomes formation. Participates in membrane fusion events that take place in the secretory pathway (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG8 family.
   
 
 0.845
atg9
Autophagy-related protein 9; Involved in autophagy vesicles formation. May recruit atg8 to the pre-autophagosomal structure (By similarity). Required for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-enhanced bacterial clearance through the autophagic pathway; Belongs to the ATG9 family.
      
 0.836
DDB0187874
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.812
atg3
Autophagy-related protein 3; E2 conjugating enzyme required for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt), and autophagy. Responsible for the E2-like covalent binding of phosphatidylethanolamine to the C-terminal Gly of atg8. The atg12-atg5 conjugate plays a role of an E3 and promotes the transfer of atg8 from atg3 to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). This step is required for the membrane association of atg8. The formation of the atg8- phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates is essential for autophagy and for the cytoplasm to vacuole transport (Cvt) (By similarity).
    
 
0.793
atg18
Autophagy-related protein 18; May be involved in cytoplasm to vacuole transport and autophagy; Belongs to the WD repeat SVP1 family.

DDB0185872
PB1 domain-containing protein.
