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.

HMLALPHA1Silenced copy of ALPHA1 at HML; ALPHA1 encodes a transcriptional coactivator involved in the regulation of mating-type alpha-specific gene expression. (175 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
    
 
 0.999
HMLALPHA2
Silenced copy of ALPHA2 at HML; homeobox-domain protein that associates with Mcm1p in haploid cells to repress a-specific gene expression and interacts with a1p in diploid cells to repress haploid-specific gene expression.
   
 
 0.994
MCM1
Transcription factor; involved in cell-type-specific transcription and pheromone response; plays a central role in the formation of both repressor and activator complexes; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia.
    
 
 0.989
MF(ALPHA)1
Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)2, although MF(ALPHA)1 produces most alpha-factor; binds copper(II) ions.
   
  
 0.971
MATALPHA2
Homeobox-domain protein; with Mcm1p, represses a-specific genes in haploids; acts with A1p to repress transcription of haploid-specific genes in diploids; one of two genes encoded by the MATalpha mating type cassette.
   
  
 0.965
STE3
Receptor for a factor pheromone; couples to MAP kinase cascade to mediate pheromone response; transcribed in alpha cells and required for mating by alpha cells, ligand bound receptors endocytosed and recycled to the plasma membrane; GPCR.
   
  
 0.943
HMRA2
Silenced copy of a2 at HMR; similarity to Alpha2p; required along with a1p for inhibiting expression of the HO endonuclease in a/alpha HO/HO diploid cells with an active mating-type interconversion system.
   
 
 0.940
MATALPHA1
Transcriptional co-activator that regulates mating-type-specific genes; targets the transcription factor Mcm1p to the promoters of alpha-specific genes; one of two genes encoded by the MATalpha mating type cassette.
   
   
0.870
MF(ALPHA)2
Mating pheromone alpha-factor, made by alpha cells; interacts with mating type a cells to induce cell cycle arrest and other responses leading to mating; also encoded by MF(ALPHA)1, which is more highly expressed; binds copper(II) ions.
   
  
 0.861
AFB1
A-factor barrier protein 1; MATalpha-specific a-factor blocker; contributes to mating efficiency under certain conditions; localizes to the cell wall; predicted to be a GPI-attached protein; upregulated by Mcm1p-Alpha1p transcription factor; partially overlaps the dubious ORF YLR041W; Belongs to the SRP1/TIP1 family.
