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

FIG1Factor-induced gene 1 protein; Integral membrane protein required for efficient mating; may participate in or regulate the low affinity Ca2+ influx system, which affects intracellular signaling and cell-cell fusion during mating. (298 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PRM6
Pheromone-regulated membrane protein 6; Potassium transporter that mediates K+ influx; activates high-affinity Ca2+ influx system (HACS) during mating pheromone response; expression up-regulated in response to alpha factor; regulated by Ste12p during mating; localized to sites of polarized growth; member of a fungal-specific gene family; PRM6 has a paralog, KCH1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; To yeast YJR054w.
   
  
 0.874
FIG2
Factor-induced gene 2 protein; Cell wall adhesin, expressed specifically during mating; may be involved in maintenance of cell wall integrity during mating; FIG2 has a paralog, AGA1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 
 0.873
FUS1
Nuclear fusion protein FUS1; Membrane protein localized to the shmoo tip; required for cell fusion; expression regulated by mating pheromone; proposed to coordinate signaling, fusion, and polarization events required for fusion; potential Cdc28p substrate.
   
  
 0.872
FUS2
Cell fusion regulator; cytoplasmic protein localized to shmoo tip; required for alignment of parental nuclei before nuclear fusion during mating; contains a Dbl-homology domain; binds specifically with activated Cdc42p.
   
  
 0.813
PRM2
Pheromone-regulated protein; predicted to have 4 transmembrane segments and a coiled coil domain; regulated by Ste12p; required for efficient nuclear fusion.
   
  
 0.794
KAR4
Karyogamy protein KAR4; Transcription factor required for response to pheromones; also required during meiosis; exists in two forms, a slower-migrating form more abundant during vegetative growth and a faster-migrating form induced by pheromone.
   
  
 0.777
STE2
Receptor for alpha-factor pheromone; seven transmembrane-domain GPCR that interacts with both pheromone and a heterotrimeric G protein to initiate the signaling response that leads to mating between haploid a and alpha cells; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 4 family.
   
  
 0.719
CCH1
Calcium-channel protein CCH1; Voltage-gated high-affinity calcium channel; involved in calcium influx in response to some environmental stresses as well as exposure to mating pheromones; interacts and partially co-localizes with Mid1p; however, evidence suggests CCH1 is not required for Mid1p function.
    
 
 0.685
MID1
Stretch-activated cation channel MID1; N-glycosylated integral membrane protein of the ER and plasma membrane; functions as a stretch-activated Ca2+-permeable cation channel required for Ca2+ influx stimulated by pheromone; interacts with Cch1p; forms an oligomer.
    
 
 0.650
PRM1
Plasma membrane fusion protein PRM1; Pheromone-regulated multispanning membrane protein; involved in membrane fusion during mating; predicted to have 5 transmembrane segments and a coiled coil domain; localizes to the shmoo tip; regulated by Ste12p.
