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.

Score
GEX1Glutathione exchanger 1; Proton:glutathione antiporter; localized to the vacuolar and plasma membranes; imports glutathione from the vacuole and exports it through the plasma membrane; has a role in resistance to oxidative stress and modulation of the PKA pathway; GEX1 has a paralog, GEX2, that arose from a segmental duplication. (615 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
VBA3
Permease of basic amino acids in the vacuolar membrane; VBA3 has a paralog, VBA5, that arose from a segmental duplication; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
   
  
 0.689
KAR5
Protein required for nuclear membrane fusion during karyogamy; localizes to the membrane with a soluble portion in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, may form a complex with Jem1p and Kar2p; similar to zebrafish Brambleberry protein; expression of the gene is regulated by pheromone; Belongs to the KAR5 family.
      
 0.585
VBA5
Vacuolar basic amino acid transporter 5; Plasma membrane protein of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS); involved in amino acid uptake and drug sensitivity; VBA5 has a paralog, VBA3, that arose from a segmental duplication.
   
  
 0.571
AMF1
Low affinity NH4+ transporter; member of the DHA2 family of drug:H+ anti porters; putative paralog of ATR1; but not required for boron tolerance; non-essential gene; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
   
  
 0.534
YPL278C
Putative protein of unknown function; gene expression regulated by copper levels.
   
  
 0.526
YOL024W
Putative protein of unknown function; predicted to have thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase active site; YOL024W has a paralog, IGD1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
  
 0.522
NSE3
Non-structural maintenance of chromosome element 3; Component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex; this complex plays a key role in the removal of X-shaped DNA structures that arise between sister chromatids during DNA replication and repair; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.
    
 
 0.500
YMR279C
Uncharacterized transporter YMR279C; Putative boron transporter involved in boron efflux and resistance; overexpression mutant but not null mutant displays boron tolerance phenotype; identified as a heat-induced gene in a high-throughout screen; YMR279C is not an essential gene; YMR279C has a paralog, ATR1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
  
 0.478
VBA4
Protein of unknown function; proposed role as a basic amino acid permease based on phylogeny; GFP-fusion protein localizes to vacuolar membrane; physical interaction with Atg27p suggests a possible role in autophagy; non-essential gene; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
      
 0.470
VBA2
Permease of basic amino acids in the vacuolar membrane; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
      
 0.464
