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

RAM1Beta subunit of the CAAX farnesyltransferase (FTase); this complex prenylates the a-factor mating pheromone and Ras proteins; required for the membrane localization of Ras proteins and a-factor; homolog of the mammalian FTase beta subunit. (431 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
RAM2
Protein farnesyltransferase/geranylgeranyltransferase type-1 subunit alpha; Alpha subunit of farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase-I; farnesyltransferase (Ram2p-Ram1p heterodimer) catalyzes the addition of 15-carbon isoprenoid farnesyl to substrate proteins containing a CAAX consensus motif; type I geranylgeranyltransferase (Ram2p-Cdc43p heterodimer) catalyzes the addition of the 20-carbon isoprenoid geranylgeranyl to substrate proteins containing a CaaL consensus motif; required for membrane localization of Ras proteins and a-factor.
   
 0.999
RCE1
Type II CAAX prenyl protease; involved in the proteolysis and maturation of Ras and the a-factor mating pheromone; Belongs to the peptidase U48 family.
    
 0.989
STE24
CAAX prenyl protease 1; Highly conserved zinc metalloprotease; functions in two steps of a-factor maturation, C-terminal CAAX proteolysis and the first step of N-terminal proteolytic processing; cleaves both isoprenylated and non-prenylated oligopeptides; contains multiple transmembrane spans; human homolog ZMPSTE24 implicated in mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD), and can complement yeast null mutant.
     
 0.983
ERG20
Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase; has both dimethylallyltranstransferase and geranyltranstransferase activities; catalyzes the formation of C15 farnesyl pyrophosphate units for isoprenoid and sterol biosynthesis.
   
 0.951
BTS1
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPS); increases the intracellular pool of geranylgeranyl diphosphate, suppressor of bet2 mutation that causes defective geranylgeranylation of small GTP-binding proteins that mediate vesicular traffic.
   
 0.948
COQ1
Hexaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase; catalyzes the first step in ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) biosynthesis; Belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family.
   
 0.946
SRT1
Forms the dehydrodolichyl diphosphate syntase (DDS) complex with NUS1; involved in synthesis of long-chain dolichols (19-22 isoprene units; as opposed to Rer2p which synthesizes shorter-chain dolichols); localizes to lipid bodies; transcription is induced during stationary phase.
     
 0.932
STE14
Protein-S-isoprenylcysteine O-methyltransferase; Farnesyl cysteine-carboxyl methyltransferase; mediates the carboxyl methylation step during C-terminal CAAX motif processing of a-factor and RAS proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, localizes to the ER membrane; Belongs to the class VI-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase family.
      
 0.931
RER2
Forms the dehydrodolichyl diphosphate syntase (DDS) complex with NUS1; major enzyme of polyprenol synthesis in both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and in lipid droplets; participates in ER protein sorting; human ortholog DHDDS functionally complements the heat sensitive growth defect of a ts allele, and is associated with retinitis pigmentosa; Belongs to the UPP synthase family.
     
 0.928
NUS1
Forms dehydrodolichyl diphosphate syntase complex with RER2 or SRT1; tet-repressible mutant shows accumulation of hypoglycosylated forms of CPY, suggesting that Nus1p may be involved in protein trafficking; mutations in human homolog NUS1 have been implicated in congenital scoliosis, neurological impairment, refractory epilepsy, hearing deficit, and visual impairment; human cis-prenyltransferase complex complements yeast null mutant; Belongs to the UPP synthase family.
