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

Score
NPC2Phosphatidylglycerol/phosphatidylinositol transfer protein; Sterol transport protein and functional homolog of human NPC2/He1; human NPC2 is a cholesterol-binding protein whose deficiency causes Niemann-Pick type C2 disease involving retention of cholesterol in lysosomes; yeast NPC2 can complement mutations in human NPC2; Belongs to the NPC2 family. (173 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
NCR1
NPC intracellular sterol transporter 1-related protein 1; Vacuolar membrane protein; transits through the biosynthetic vacuolar protein sorting pathway, involved in sphingolipid metabolism; cells lacking Ncr1p exhibit high levels of long chain bases (LCB), similar to the accumulation of high amounts of lipids observed in patients with Neimann-Pick C, a disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in NPC1, the functional ortholog of Ncr1p; Belongs to the patched family.
    
 
 0.881
LAM6
Membrane-anchored lipid-binding protein LAM6; Sterol transporter that transfers sterols between membranes; may regulate and coordinate formation of contact sites between organelles; localizes to ER-mitochondrial contact sites in a Tom70p- and Tom71p-dependent manner; mitochondrial localization requires GRAM domain; also localizes to ER-vacuole contact sites, in a Vac8p-dependent manner; has GRAM and StART-like (VASt) domains; one of six StART-like domain-containing proteins in yeast; conserved across eukaryotes; Belongs to the YSP2 family.
      
 0.831
AUS1
ATP-dependent permease AUS1; Plasma membrane sterol transporter of the ATP-binding cassette family; required, along with Pdr11p, for uptake of exogenous sterols and their incorporation into the plasma membrane; activity is stimulated by phosphatidylserine; sterol uptake is required for anaerobic growth because sterol biosynthesis requires oxygen; AUS1 has a paralog, PDR11, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCG family. PDR (TC 3.A.1.205) subfamily.
      
 0.792
PDH1
Putative 2-methylcitrate dehydratase; mitochondrial protein that participates in respiration; induced by diauxic shift; homologous to E. coli PrpD, may take part in the conversion of 2-methylcitrate to 2-methylisocitrate.
   
  
 0.528
PXP1
Putative 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA lyase; Peroxisomal matrix protein; well-conserved in fungi; contains tripartite homology domain of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) enzymes; targeted to peroxisomes by Pex5p; contains low sequence identity with Pdc1p; mRNA identified as translated by ribosome profiling data.
   
  
 0.527
IVY1
Protein IVY1; Phospholipid-binding protein that interacts with both Ypt7p and Vps33p; may partially counteract the action of Vps33p and vice versa, localizes to the rim of the vacuole as cells approach stationary phase.
      
 0.518
OSW5
Outer spore wall protein 5; Protein of unknown function with possible role in spore wall assembly; predicted to contain an N-terminal transmembrane domain; osw5 null mutant spores exhibit increased spore wall permeability and sensitivity to beta-glucanase digestion; Belongs to the OSW5 family.
   
  
 0.514
ARE2
Sterol O-acyltransferase 2; Acyl-CoA:sterol acyltransferase; endoplasmic reticulum enzyme that contributes the major sterol esterification activity in the presence of oxygen; ARE2 has a paralog, ARE1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
   
  
 0.494
YOP1
Protein YOP1; Reticulon-interacting protein; ER integral membrane protein involved in the generation of tubular ER morphology; promotes membrane curvature; forms tubules in vitro; regulates the ER asymmetry-induced inheritance block during ER stress; role in ER-derived peroxisomal biogenesis; interacts with Yip1p to mediate membrane traffic and with Sey1p to maintain ER morphology; facilitates lipid exchange between the ER and mitochondria; forms ER foci upon DNA replication stress.
   
    0.491
PRY1
Sterol binding protein involved in the export of acetylated sterols; secreted glycoprotein and member of the CAP protein superfamily (cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISP), antigen 5, and pathogenesis related 1 proteins); sterol export function is redundant with that of PRY2; may be involved in detoxification of hydrophobic compounds; PRY1 has a paralog, PRY2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
