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

KAR4Karyogamy 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. (335 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
IME4
N6-adenosine-methyltransferase IME4; mRNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase required for entry into meiosis; mediates N6-adenosine methylation of bulk mRNA during the induction of sporulation which includes the meiotic regulators IME1, IME2 and IME4 itself; repressed in haploids via production of antisense IME4 transcripts; transcribed in diploid cells where antisense transcription is repressed; orthologous to human METTL3 (MT-A70); Belongs to the MT-A70-like family.
  
 0.997
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.
   
 
 0.904
STE12
Protein STE12; Transcription factor that is activated by a MAPK signaling cascade; activates genes involved in mating or pseudohyphal/invasive growth pathways; cooperates with Tec1p transcription factor to regulate genes specific for invasive growth.
   
 
 0.853
SST2
Protein SST2; GTPase-activating protein for Gpa1p; regulates desensitization to alpha factor pheromone; also required to prevent receptor-independent signaling of the mating pathway; member of the RGS (regulator of G-protein signaling) family.
   
 
 0.821
KAR3
Kinesin-like protein KAR3; Minus-end-directed microtubule motor; functions in mitosis and meiosis, localizes to the spindle pole body and localization is dependent on functional Cik1p, required for nuclear fusion during mating; potential Cdc28p substrate.
   
  
 0.814
MUM2
Protein essential for meiotic DNA replication and sporulation; cytoplasmic protein; subunit of the MIS complex which controls mRNA methylation during during the induction of sporulation; also interacts with Orc2p, which is a component of the origin recognition complex; Belongs to the fl(2)d family.
   
 0.799
SSL2
General transcription and DNA repair factor IIH helicase subunit XPB; Component of RNA polymerase transcription factor TFIIH holoenzyme; acts as dsDNA-dependent translocase in context of TFIIH, unwinds DNA strands during initiation and promotes transcription start site (TSS) scanning; has DNA-dependent ATPase/helicase activity; interacts functionally with TFIIB, has roles in TSS selection and gene looping to juxtapose initiation and termination regions; involved in DNA repair; relocalizes to cytosol under hypoxia; homolog of human ERCC3; Belongs to the helicase family. RAD25/XPB subfamily.
  
    0.780
FIG1
Factor-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.
   
  
 0.777
KSS1
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK); involved in signal transduction pathways that control filamentous growth and pheromone response; regulates septum assembly, and may directly phosphorylate Bni4p; the KSS1 gene is nonfunctional in S288C strains and functional in W303 strains.
   
 
 0.777
CIK1
Spindle pole body-associated protein CIK1; Kinesin-associated protein; required for both karyogamy and mitotic spindle organization, interacts stably and specifically with Kar3p and may function to target this kinesin to a specific cellular role; locus encodes a long and short transcript with differing functions; CIK1 has a paralog, VIK1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
