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

YPC1Alkaline ceramidase; also has reverse (CoA-independent) ceramide synthase activity; catalyzes both breakdown and synthesis of phytoceramide; overexpression confers fumonisin B1 resistance; YPC1 has a paralog, YDC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication. (316 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
LAG1
Ceramide synthase component; involved in synthesis of ceramide from C26(acyl)-coenzyme A and dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine, functionally equivalent to Lac1p; forms ER foci upon DNA replication stress; homolog of human CERS2, a tumor metastasis suppressor gene whose silencing enhances invasion/metastasis of prostate cancer cells; LAG1 has a paralog, LAC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
    
 0.996
LAC1
Ceramide synthase component; involved in synthesis of ceramide from C26(acyl)-coenzyme A and dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine, functionally equivalent to Lag1p; LAC1 has a paralog, LAG1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 0.993
LCB5
Minor sphingoid long-chain base kinase; possibly involved in synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules; LCB5 has a paralog, LCB4, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
    
 0.987
LCB4
Sphingoid long-chain base kinase; responsible for synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules, regulates synthesis of ceramide from exogenous long-chain bases, localizes to the Golgi and late endosomes; LCB4 has a paralog, LCB5, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
 0.982
SUR2
Sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase SUR2; Sphinganine C4-hydroxylase; catalyses the conversion of sphinganine to phytosphingosine in sphingolipid biosyntheis; Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.
     
 0.956
ISC1
Inositol phosphosphingolipid phospholipase C; mitochondrial membrane localized; hydrolyzes complex sphingolipids to produce ceramide; activates genes required for non-fermentable carbon source metabolism during diauxic shift; activated by phosphatidylserine, cardiolipin, and phosphatidylglycerol; mediates Na+ and Li+ halotolerance; ortholog of mammalian neutral sphingomyelinase type 2.
    
 
 0.888
LCB1
Component of serine palmitoyltransferase; responsible along with Lcb2p for the first committed step in sphingolipid synthesis, which is the condensation of serine with palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketosphinganine.
   
  
 0.844
YSR3
Dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate phosphatase; membrane protein involved in sphingolipid metabolism; YSR3 has a paralog, LCB3, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the type 2 lipid phosphate phosphatase family.
      
 0.837
LCB2
Component of serine palmitoyltransferase; responsible along with Lcb1p for the first committed step in sphingolipid synthesis, which is the condensation of serine with palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketosphinganine; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
   
  
 0.788
AUR1
Inositol phosphorylceramide synthase catalytic subunit AUR1; Phosphatidylinositol:ceramide phosphoinositol transferase; required for sphingolipid synthesis; can mutate to confer aureobasidin A resistance; also known as IPC synthase.
   
  
 0.788
