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

VBA4Protein 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. (768 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
YPL162C
Vacuolar membrane protein YPL162C; Putative protein of unknown function; green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localizes to the membrane of vacuole with cell cycle-correlated morphology.
    
 
 0.801
YPQ1
Putative vacuolar membrane transporter for cationic amino acids; likely contributes to amino acid homeostasis by exporting cationic amino acids from the vacuole; member of the PQ-loop family, with seven transmembrane domains; similar to mammalian PQLC2 vacuolar transporter; YPQ1 has a paralog, RTC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the laat-1 family.
   
  
 0.737
YML018C
Uncharacterized vacuolar membrane protein YML018C; Protein of unknown function; green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion protein localizes to the membrane of the vacuole; physical interaction with Atg27p suggests a possible role in autophagy; YML018C is not an essential gene; relative distribution to the vacuolar membrane decreases upon DNA replication stress; YML018C has a paralog, THI74, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the TPT transporter family.
   
  
 0.714
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.
   
  
 0.702
VBA2
Permease of basic amino acids in the vacuolar membrane; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
      
 0.698
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.
      
 0.603
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.
      
 0.599
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.
      
 0.599
GEX2
Glutathione exchanger 2; Proton:glutathione antiporter; localized to the vacuolar and plasma membranes; expressed at a very low level; potential role in resistance to oxidative stress and modulation of the PKA pathway; GEX2 has a paralog, GEX1, that arose from a segmental duplication.
      
 0.557
SSH4
Protein SSH4; Specificity factor required for Rsp5p-dependent ubiquitination; also required for sorting of cargo proteins at the multivesicular body; identified as a high-copy suppressor of a SHR3 deletion, increasing steady-state levels of amino acid permeases.
